The Queen's sex pistols remind me of how my friend and I used to joke about starting a band called the Chastity Rifles. Oh word play and band names...

Well, it appears as if PRINCE is talking to the Queen. I see a poster of SEAL near Dead Kennedys. A GREEN DAY is marked in August, and on the ground is some GARBAGE and a HOLE. Is that YELLOWMAN? There are POLICE walking in front of a DEEP PURPLE building. BLONDIE is blowing a bubble. Are the Gorillaz climbing near a MOUNTAIN? And is it just me, but near the cart is that a mini-stegosaurus, or a DINOSAUR JR.? Some TALKING HEADS on the TELEVISION screens in the back, near some graffiti for the BEE GEES.

this is fun.

The postal worker is The Postal Service but it also reminds me of that Bjork video. Is the picture of the postal guy supposed to be about Madonna? What about the calender that is for August 2006?

Great White is that shark poster, and Jane's Addiction that girl hanging out with the junkie cowboys (looks a bit like Tarzan's Jane). I have no idea on 311 or d12, though. There are 11 guns in 3 vases, but still...

You have to revise your opinion. Repeating this nuttery misses your point. Give us proofs. Not just with words, but with deeds.
