a short tirade
marketing campaign:
if you go here and then click on the picture you can watch it animated!
religious thangka:
note that they both have water on the sides, the main center "figure" is sitting on a lotus leaf, surrounded by clouds. the red fire portal at the top center is the some fruit in the 1st, and in the same place in the 2nd is the Buddha. on either side of the fruit are the garuda (phoenix) and the dragon (2 of the 4 most important animals in tibetan buddhism, the other ones being the lion and the tiger), whereas the 2nd one has some more buddhas/boddhisattvas.
i am both amazed and disgusted by jamba juice for this.

from domino’s pizza! “avoid the noid.” he always tried to steal pizza from its rightful owners, remember him?
you can’t actually hear my dissertation; it doesn’t exist. i just like to bring up the noid whenever possible. and really the noid would probably be more of a judas figure of betrayal, or possibly some kind of unsuccessful prometheus.

no memory of the noid. maybe it went into the void.
unsuccessful as in he didn’t manage to steal fire? burned a pinkie and went off sucking it?

well he didn’t manage to steal pizza, which in this case represents fire. except the noid stole for himself and prometheus stole for mankind so maybe this won’t work. it’s possible that the noid cannot actually be compared to a religious or mythological figure, but i am reluctant to admit that.
