Who The Hell Is Dr. Fun?
I was in a thrift store today amused by some of the bizarre things they try to sell there, used electric razors and whatnot. As I was wandering around I noticed a stack of records sitting on a shelf and something drew me to them. As I was flipping through those ancient unloved discs, one stood out from the rest.
For me, there's a lot of "WTF factor" going on here. The only thing that could make this album cover worse would be if it had a menacing shadow looming over those girls. Didn't the photographer care? One thing you might want to consider are some of the steps it takes to get a picture like this from a camera to an album cover, which is then distributed nation-wide. Out of everyone involved no one said anything? And in fact signed off on the project as "OK"? Someone might have even been proud of the whole package, certainly they were deranged.
Well marketing disasters aside I wonder; Who is Dr. Fun? Perhaps that was the name of a long forgotten serial child molester who has a unique fetish for children in hobo clown makeup.
Perhaps something terrible had happened to their parents. The girl on the left seems pretty upset, perhaps the reason is...
Maybe something terrible was happening to someone off camera...
In the last funny conversation I had with a co-worker the punchline was cervical cancer, so I'm making bad jokes while it's still fresh in my mind...
In the bad photographer vein, maybe he just didn't know the right thing to say to get the proper reponse from his subjects...
I'm a big fan of cannibalism and implied conversation...
Maybe there's more to Dr. Fun than we thought.
And what about the dark army alluded to in the title?
As far as my research could find, the government denies the existence of the super villain, retroactively named super terrorist Dr. Fun. I would try to uncover the truth, but why bother when I can photoshop a stupid picture repeatedly?
