Could the new Ubuntu Splash get any more phallic?
Er, no.
Thanks to Lee for the pic.

Yes, it could.
It’s a sad day when crudeness penetrates this deeply into something quite innocent.
Here is another example

set the penis thing aside that is just ugly
Adds a whole new flavor to the term “splash screen”…

Keep your penetration to yourself, bub.

Look, I realize that a majority of linux users are male, but, is this the way to attract a wider female audience?? HaHa.
Ya, all I gotta now is why they didn’t make it bigger?
…an Ubuntu in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?
Do you think that we’ll get all excited over ubuntu splash pics?
Alan, you never cease to amaze me…
“If it is a naked person, it must be porn.”
Agreed!
The final clincher seems to be the tiny testes …
No respect to art. If it is a naked person, it must be porn.
boi-oi-oi-oing
Think alike
(Thanks for pointing it out, that’s brightened up my morning a little.)
You suggesting that it’s all in my interpretation of the image and there’s nothing at all phallic in that picture eh?
I’ll put my shrink on standby.
“I wouldn’t have admitted that”.
Not everything is about sex, you know.
LOL
Thats what i thought as well… dont like the red brown either, seems out of keeping with the gdm.
Is that beige thing it’s poking someones back side?
But that might be going just a bit too far.
The last one was way better and more professional, it just needed a little bit of a thicker border.
Ubuntu was already grown up. You seem to be forgetting about the Ubuntu porn desktops. These are actually still available in the “ubuntu-calendar” packages.
Regardless of the phallic nature of the splash it’s certainly a step back aesthetically from the previous splashes. I’m hoping this gets some love before the final release.
Ahum… Ubuntu is growing up?

I hadn’t noticed the phallic tendancies until you pointed them out!
I must just have a cleaner mind!
