I Am Your King. Eat Me.
This is a submission for the truly disturbing and entertaining group entitled "Cut Me, Wicked Servant" that was started by jj look. Basically, it's a showcase of signs from local restaurants and hole-in-the-wall food vendors where the delicacy of choice is featured participating in it's own destruction.....the pig eating a bbq sandwich, or a chicken gnawing happily on the leg of it's brethren, etc. You've all seen them around, I am sure. Now there's a place for photos of those unique, cannibalistic advertisements here on flickr.
This shot is one I consider a classic. Yocco's - "The Hot Dog King" is a small establishment near Upper Macungie Park in Pennsylvania where my father's side of the family has their annual reunion picnic. Every year I pass the billboard featuring the thick-eyebrowed king of weiners, resplendent in his golden crown, smiling eagerly at us humans, while he holds the steaming body of one of his subjects impaled on a fork. I am especially taken by the cartoon lines around him that suggest power and glory and delicious omnipotence.
I actually never stopped in to eat there myself, as I felt I'd be contributing to some weird pork-related genocide.
Join up if you have an appropriate pic to share.
