fontage? - Does it read Elvis or Eluis? | |
Memphis:
Elvis fans were left 'bruised and battered' after a popular convention degenerated
into 'a
good ole' fashioned Presley-style Karate kicking', last night. The
annual Don't You Step on my Blue Suede Shoes Convention, widely regarded
as one of the more violent in the Elvis Presley calendar, degenerated 'surprisingly
quickly' following a dispute amongst members of the audience over whether the
sign actually read Elvis at all. The
logo, reproduced above, is widely used, but is increasingly being criticized by
younger Presley worshippers who believe the V should have a 'more pointy bottom'. An
angry Presley fontologist who was involved in the fracas told us: "The
V in the sign is far too rounded, it looks like a U, why has this never been brought
up before? Old
timers, who have been Presley supporters for so long, should take a closer good
look at the sign. Are they blind? It is clearly a U in the middle of that name.
I was only kicking to defend Elvis." One
of the 'old timers', who admits to having struck up to three of the younger Elvis
fans, now feels he may have been a little rash: "I
was caught up in the moment, determined to defend Elvis and everything he stands
for, but now, having looked at the sign, I'm not so sure. No sir, not sure at
all. I suppose it could be a U in there, that bottom does look pretty pert and
rounded to me. Just like young Elvis's, in fact. Yessir."
