Petco Controversy Part III - Klaus Varley Answers Some Questions

I don't really think this is going to be a nine-hundred part series, but now it might go at least to nine, which is way more than we ever expected to get out of an observation on a pet store logo. -KV


PETCO CONTROVERSY - Part III

Questions from Carrie (with numbers)
Answers from Klaus Varley (with dashes)


1) I agree that they are side by side in a colorful, two-dimensional world. And that if the dog and cat's colors were reversed, the dog would look like the one from Blue's Clues.

-This is not really a question, but a statement. Having been subjected to Blue's Clues while an after-school instructor, however, I must respectfully disagree. Nothing looks like the dog on that show...nothing, save Satan himself, reincarnated in dog-form.


2) How does this fit under the umbrella of "literary" exactly? Or "brothel"? Yet perhaps the original LB would not have perished if we'd posted more mind-bending problems like this instead of our original writing.

-The Petco logo is both literary and brothel...ary. How? You know how.
-No, the original Literary Brothel (OLB) still would have perished had we spoken of the Petco logo. The only thing that could have saved the OLB was twenty more articles with "boobies" in the title.


3) Speaking of which [original writing...I'm guessing], I can't believe how long the name "Klaus Varley" has been in use and how it's just now receiving notoriety. If you hang on long enough...and start a blog...people will notice you. Or something.

-The name "Klaus Varley" has always been notorious, but just now being recognized in states like Oregon, which are five years ahead of all other states on things like environmental issues, yet five years behind on all other matters, including "Klaus Varley notoriety."
