A map of the Western Hemisphere is not all that different
from the logo for the Wu Tang Clan
You know, a lot of people have...wait, what? Nobody thinks this. Why do you think this? I don't know if I should stay here for this...
These are the thoughts that rummage around inside my head on occasion. It just happens. In this particular case, I was inspired by a bottle of shampoo.
This particular shampoo, which shall remain nameless because the usual name is weird enough that I can't obscure it in my usual way other than to say it sounds like something foreign and involving fruit. I buy it because it smells really nice and leaves my hair shiny and manageable. And you thought I used a salon brand.
Anyway...my shampoo bottle has a picture of the earth on it. Why? I don't know...maybe it's supposed to use fewer earth non-friendly chemicals or be biodegradable or something, I don't care. Smells nice...shiny...manageable...picture of earth. Just go with it. More specifically, it's a round picture of the western hemisphere. A little strange, because the name clearly implies that it's European, and Europe isn't shown on the map, but that's beside the point entirely.
Not long ago, I looked at this picture in my usual morning stupor and thought, "Gee...that looks a lot like the logo for the Wu Tang Clan. Let's be clear...I'm not a connoisseur of the Hip Hop genre, so I don't think I've ever been actually aware that I was listening to a Wu Tang Clan song, nor can I name any of the rappers in the group (not since ODB died, anyway). All I know of them is the name and the logo. Here it is, next to the aforementioned picture of the earth. You judge for yourself:
In hindsight, I see that my shampoo is apparently 92% Biodegradable, hence the picture of the earth. Maybe I should have looked at the picture I Photoshopped before writing that paragraph. Oh well. I'm being earth friendly, while smelling good with shiny and manageable hair!
