There are Wumpscut fans everywhere nowadays...

Or is this the corporate dress of the cleaners at Lehman Bros?

More likely it's the Weyland Yutani logo from Aliens which, it's said, RR ripped off:

Weyland-Yutani is a modern example of the longstanding trope of the evil megacorporation in science fiction.(copypasted from wikipedia)

I like the idea of the guy in the t-shirt wearing it ironically...

Although... Obscure may have his own idea here!:rolleyes:

Sorry, I probably quoted too much of your earlier post...

I should have only included the reference to Obscure and his taste for conspiracy theories. Therefore, took the W for Weishaupt. There have been weaker links made in the past.

(I'll leave you to look him up on wikiped - though just know that I finally got round to reading Shea and Wilson's book earlier his year)

Yeah, probably because I need to be more explicit in my referencing. Also, difficult to maintain a thread with only 1 picture. It really needs the rest of us to find other recent pics.

not sure what's so wrong with this pic.

I tend to wear black metal shirts or other stuff @ work in the City too.
Though I think I'm the only one at Bank running around like that in an office ;)
