Rev. Cynthia Landrum Can See A Penis And A Vagina And A Rocket And ALL That In The New UUA Branding Logo. . .
As stated in this comment posted in response to Rev. Tom Schade's 'Painful' blog post, but for some strange reason. . . Rev. Dr. Cynthia Landrum can't seem to bring herself to "see" what the Big Fat U*U Problem is with her and other people, perhaps especially non-U*Us. . . seeing "a penis and a vagina and a rocket and ALL that" in the UUA's brand-spanking new corporate branding* logo. And this surprises me, because Rev. Dr. Cynthia Landrum is a former member of the UUA's Ministerial *Fellowship* Committee which, amongst other things, supposedly deals with disciplining "less than perfect" Unitarian Universalist ministers who "engage in such despicable crimes as pedophilia and rape", or who engage in less serious forms of clergy sexual misconduct aka clergy sexual abuse such as coveting their congregant's wife or posting an obscene and Sadistic Big Fat U*U Sodomy Fantasy to their pseudonymous Peacebang blog.
It is thus quite puzzling to me how Rev. Landrum is quite evidently unready, unwilling, and possibly even psychologically unable, to "see" how the Unitarian Universalist Association's brand-spanking new UUA "branding" logo, which can be quite readily perceived as a rocket-propelled penis blasting its way into a vagina, to say nothing of a flaming torch embedded in the anal canal of a "less than perfect" Republican senator. . . poses something of a Big Fat U*U Problem for not only the UUA aka U*U eh?, but for the larger Unitarian Universalist religious community aka The U*U Movement that it ostensibly represents to the world.
I mean *really*. . . is former MFC member Rev. Dr. Cynthia Landrum genuinely incapable of "seeing" how the new UUA "branding" logo, with "a penis and a vagina and a rocket and all that" being more than readily perceivable within it, is the absolute LAST thing that a religious organization which has "a terrible track record", indeed a genuinely shameful legacy. . . of negligence towards, and complicity in, ALL kinds of clergy sexual misconduct engaged in by hundreds of "less than perfect" Unitarian Universalist ministers needs to identify itself to the general public with? Even if the UUA, and at least 400 UUA congregations, did not actually possess such a shameful legacy of UU clergy sexual misconduct, and willful or effective complicity therein. . . the UUA's rocket-propelled phallus entering vagina logo cum Statue of Liberty's torch embedded in Republican senator's anal canal logo never-the-less has the Big Fat U*U Potential to ensure that The Tiny Declining Fringe Religion™ aka The U*U Movement becomes the Big Fat U*U Laughing Stock of the world's religions.
And *that* DO kinda suck, don't it U*Us?
* It depends upon what the meaning of the word "branding" is. . .

And while "I can see" how people see those things in the new logo, or a tulip, or a bomb, or the eye of Sauron, as Tom Schade said in the post I was commenting on, "That's about you, not the logo." When I look at it what I see is a chalice, a flame, and two Us.
I am just having a bit of waggish fun with the fact that you did publicly acknowledge that you are in fact just as capable of perceiving a penis and*or a vagina and*or a rocket and*or vibrator etc. etc. in the new UUA branding logo as anyone else is. The fact that a penis*condom and vagina*uterus CAN be quite readily perceived within the UUA's new branding logo are just a tad problematic, perhaps especially in light of the UUA's Truly pathetic responses to numerous cases of U*U clergy sexual misconduct over the years. The UUA risks having quite a bit of fun poked at it over the next several years, and not just by members in The U*U Movement itself.
And so it goes U*Us. . .
