That's just some guy's picture. He probably stole it off a Friendster profile or something.
I'm actually made entirely of text. The photographs I post are generative art.

It's not funny. It's just slightly sad.

That imageset bothers me in ways I find hard to describe.
First off, it's perfectly transparent about advertising snickers. But, it doesn't even get their ad right.
Second, it implies that (1) Cthulu speaks english, (2) he's 'demonic', (3) he's only 'demonic' because he's hungry, and (4) a candy bar will make him feel better.
In other words, the person who initially made it completely failed (on many levels) to comprehend the basic ideas of both the lovecraft mythos and candy bar commercials, and yet decided to combine them anyway. Probably, if I posted this rant to him directly, he'd have a hissy fit and complain about how I'm ruining his fun.
I guess what really bothers me is that the world contains people like the one who made that photoset and posted it initially without realizing anything was wrong with it.

He's finally starting to release books -- a much more reasonable way to consume his stuff, probably, since it's all right there and you don't end up waiting six months for the next page.
I'm a huge fan of his stuff (I submitted some fanart to him years ago, but I think it was embarrassing because he didn't put it on the fanart page). There's a semi-academic ongoing lecture series here that sometimes brings in transhumanist types, and I was trying to convince them to get him in.

I'd buy the SHIT out of that book.
That was going to be part of the backstory of a crazy conspiracy theorist fence guy in my cyberpunk novel that I stopped writing last year.
(He believes this to be true, and so he spends all his time hooked up to EEG machines in the back room of an abandoned warehouse, watching the wizard of oz on twelve large television screens, each at a different point in the film, on loops. He lives with his step-sister, whose parents were part of a transhumanist suicide/upload cult, and whose birth name is Cathryn Teleprompter. I stopped writing when I realized that their story was more interesting than the main plot.)

The Dark Side of Oz is actually a still-classified part of the now defunct MK-ULTRA system, with a generational release. The first generation has been (fairly grossly) programmed to merely subliminally brainwash their children and grandchildren, who (if they watch The Wizard of Oz while listening to the Dark Side of the Moon and smoking just the right strain of pot) will have latent behaviors triggered. However, the latent behaviors were actually decided upon by a visiting extraterrestrial ambassador, who liked it so much here that he disguised himself, became a permanent resident, and changed his name to David Bowie. Now, with the at-risk generation just discovering marijuana, Bowie must undo his past mistakes and prevent the latent programming from being triggered -- and to do this, he must uncover his true form, and allow his firey wings to sprout again.
