Red Dragon

October 4, 2002

If you see any of the ad content for the new Hannibal Lecter movie, Red Dragon, you might see the symbol above there. It’s the same symbol for Red Dragon, the company that specializes in clothing and gear for skateboarders.

OK… that’s all well and good, except that symbol doesn’t say Red Dragon. It means “middle.” As in Middle Kingdom. As in China. There are 2000 Chinese idiograms. Don’t give me the mahjongg thing either. Stupid ad people need to pick a different one.

(Axel asked for something other than Sleater-Kinney, so I moved on to my other favorite topic – “Why White People Are Stupid.”)
