Honi soit qui mal y pense


This article in stuff reminds me of the story of the woman who called the police to complain that her neighbour was whistling dirty songs.

The Kapiti Coast district council has adopted a new logo intended to evoke the image of Kapiti island viewed from the Kapiti Coast. Now I normally regard logos with the same disdain I give to Business School mission statements, and primary-school mottoes, but I have to say this one is quite striking. Apparently, however, "some members of the public" (should that really be a plural?) have provided feedback that the image is “more than mildly pornographic”. Hmmm.  Somehow I can’t see Kapiti’s new logo ever making this list. (The last link is NSFW if you have colleagues who would find the Kapiti logo pornographic; otherwise it should be fine.)
