What Pink Floyd’s Dark Side Of The Moon Cover Would Actually Look Like…
If it was actually on the Dark Side Of The Moon.
However, having been to the moon, and more importantly having spoken to people who know something about the moon (FT’s own science teacher Alan), I can confirm that there isn’t actually a dark side of the Moon at all. Whilst it is true that, being in geosynchronous orbit, one side of the Moon always faces the Earth, that doesn’t mean that the other side doesn’t get a fair bit of sunlight too. The stupid idiots in Pink Floyd, despite making music that only scientists would like, misunderstand science themselves. One can only assume that the Floyd were talking about the Far Side Of The Moon: and so here is an artists impressions of what the album would look like from Earth, if it was on the far side of the Moon.
As you can see, thankfully the moon would be in the way, obscuring the pretentious and poorly drawn prism art on the original. Indeed, if on the Far Side of the moon, not only would it be inaccessible to play, but there might be some hilarious joke regarding talking animals juxtaposed with a mundane human task. Gee that Gary Larson is funny.
Further discussion did point out though that while Pink Floyd are clearly stupid and wrong for asserting the existence of a Dark Side Of The Moon, they are also, unfortunately, very rich due to other even stupider people (including scientists) buying their records. So rich in fact that it is more than possible that, in the face of such criticism, they would try to prove me wrong. And thus invent some sort of technologically superior Moon Rover*, with a copy of Dark Side Of The Moon stuck to the back of it with some sort of high tech adhesive, which would endlessly circle the Moon remaining in the dark spot.
This is what that would look like.
(Hmm, not sure if I should make this a regular feature after all.)
*Better than the Mars Rover in that it would not only work but would not play a Blur song as it puttered uselessly around the planet.

The comment so good he made it twice! I especially love the way he implies that Tanya could cure AIDS if she only used her powers for good.
oms on June 30th, 2007
there we go again with the old simple minded…2-bit and 2D thinking…seriously wat are u? a rural farmer in kentucky? yes i do believe if people dont waste time making and maintaining such silly little websites about the things they hate, they cud actually do something meaninful in life. yes the point indeed is a good one, and i thank u kindly for pointing that out.
oms on June 30th, 2007
ewing even ur rural sensibilities shud agree with the fact that it is rather stupid to slander a band about the cover of their album or the name of their album…incedently the moon IS dark…something that pink floyd acknowledge at the end of the album (”there is no dark side of the moon really…matter of fact its all dark”)…if u think that the moon is a flourescent old light bulb than u do indeed live in a parallel universe.

I live in the parallel universe where ‘u’ is spelled Y-O-U.
oms on July 1st, 2007
hahaah oh i just about busted a gut to that..haha..probably ur rural sensibilities got pissed of coz i taught u when to use the word ‘aforementioned’..aww is wittle ewing pissed now..is he gonna beat the crap out of me now…heres some great advise..when u dont know how to reply to something, its better to just shut the fuck up rather than embaress urself

more rope plz
FT's Alan on July 1st, 2007
oy tanya, What do increased sales of Dark Side of The Moon tell us? - a waiting world wants to know :-)
Al Ewing on July 1st, 2007
“its better to just shut the fuck up rather than embaress urself”
oms on July 2nd, 2007
ewing i understand u took my ‘rural’ depiction of u pretty hard…im sorry dude…i know its hard to face facts…ok ok i’ll make it up to u…heres a…big…fat…SUBSIDY for ur crop! pink floyd have, and will always rule u dickhead…
Al Ewing on July 2nd, 2007
See above.
oms on July 2nd, 2007
ewing just jack off dude…its the only solution to ur many social problems
FT's Alan on July 2nd, 2007
diminishing returns :-(

Al Ewing, you are my kind of guy (in a non-sexual way, I mean. Ahem.) Tanya, great post, great pics. What a brilliant thread! I haven’t laughed so much in ages.
Actually, I think Pink Floyd are pretty good — until Roger Waters opens his mouth to sing. It’s not his voice, which has a certain musicality and world-weary expressiveness, but the laughable doggerel in which he clothes his sixth-form philosophy. Wish you were here? No, wish you’d shut up. Meant to buy David Gilmour’s debut solo album in 1978 but never got around to it. Any good?
Murdoch on July 4th, 2007
oms, what’s wrong inside that head of yours? You love Pink Floyd, I hate them. Get over it. It doesn’t really matter. Unless you want one of the “better causes to fight” to be you, you birdbrained little bundle of venom.
oms on July 5th, 2007
its a matter of principle murdick..i just dont think bigots who cudnt strum a single chord shud be allowed to act as if their king of the hill or something
FT's Alan on July 5th, 2007
the bigots who can strum a single chord - they form Pink Floyd tribute bands.
oms on July 6th, 2007
ahaha…are u implying pink floyd werent musically talented? i guess ur mother performed the guitar solo to comfortably numb then
Murdoch on July 6th, 2007
oms, are you an ill-natured spotty adolescent with a fixation on shit old bands or an actual sociopath?
oms on July 6th, 2007
no im just someone who feels making fun of a band’s album cover is not constructive critisism…watever u think or say abt floyd..they dont deserve such disrespect..no one does.
FT's pˆnk s lord sükråt cunctør on July 6th, 2007
it’s undeniable that r.waters, were he to google himself and pop by, would find the shattering pain caused by tanya’s disrespect (she HATES ALL MUSIC therefore she HATES PINK FLOYD — how unjust can you get?) more than mollified by the high-quality comment of his defenders! he might even revise his opinion of fan-thinking, and rewrite the relevant bits of the wall!
oms on July 6th, 2007
i detect a little sand in someone’s vagina. i understand the fact that this woman (who it seems does not even have something which may resemble a life) tanya doesnt like music. but if her reason for not liking music is the album art of bands than its pretty clear that she is a retard. i have issues with retards belittling a good band
FT's pˆnk s lord sükråt cunctør on July 6th, 2007
well done you — so few courageous enough to have issues these days
oms on July 7th, 2007
haha…thats almost as funny as there being no dark side of the moon..haha…maybe tanya and all u “F”uck”T”ards can find the dark side of the moon in that part of your bodies where the sun dont shine
FT's Alan on July 7th, 2007
boring
Murdoch on July 10th, 2007
oms, it’s about time someone told you to fuck off, you odious little gargoyle.
So.
Fuck off.
oms on July 13th, 2007
murdick..temper temper..i wont go away this easily:p actually guys i have an internship with the world bank going on so i’ve had little time to belittle u lately…but ive finally succeeded in pissing murdick off so i mite aswell stay for a bit longer
abdab on July 28th, 2007
for a bunch of turds that claim to hate pink floyd so much, you sure do spend a lot of time thinking about them.
… get a life.
FT's IceKeys on August 19th, 2007
Wow! Mine is the first comment written in year 2 of this thread.
Tanya, *brilliant* tongue-in-cheek humor.
I registered with this site just to tell you that. My first log-in will probably be followed quickly by my last logout.
Regards.

congrat’s tanya, you’ve gotten quite a lot of traffic just by opening pie hole and puking up your moronic drivel so incoherently that you almost make a point you’ve not likely thought of, (or even comprehend) purely by chance ( or moronic coincidence) which is the apalling notion that so many otherwise intelligent and obviously cultured adults took your sexually frustrated, intellectually “challenged” and artistically retarted excrecions seriously!
I really hate to say it, but shit for brains gotcha, floyd fans, and gotcha good - cum on, “the dullest album ever” ? and you thought “she” (if she’s even really a she, probly just a she/he pole polisher) matters enough to even reply to, let alone get so riled about! The jizztoilet’s booze blasted brainlet can’t even read without mouthing the words, let alone understand the vast majority of what your schooling her on, no wonder she’s so pissed off… she’s just barely bright enough to maybe, in a moment of clarity, (okay, that’s a stretch.) catch just enough of a glimpse of reality to know that no matter how much money she banks off this seeping puss oozer (no, I’m talking about the stupid spoiled cunt’s website, not her seeping puss ozzing fuck hole!) she’ll never have quite enough working capital to finance herself a fucking CLUE!
Howya like me now, be-yotch ?
I didn’t tell you to stop suckin… open it up and guzzle like good little stupid fuck junkie or get the fuck out, skankya!
wtf, stupid dpoiled slut can’t even do the only thing she’s qualified for propper, she’s so drunk.
GrassMann on September 14th, 2007
and oh, yes I failed to spellcheck, so there ya’ go, freebies for ya’
don’t even have to think to “get me”
hahahhahahahhahah
yes, tongueya, you have permission to swallow….

The site allen is quoting from is a MUST READ: http://www.pchs1.com/ecourses/pinkfloyd/mainpage.htm
FT's Alan on September 19th, 2007
we should delete and link to the original page instead. if Allen isn’t associated with that site, it’s poor etiquette to copy and paste so much. if he is, it’s an opportunity for traffic missed.
Tom on September 20th, 2007
While looking for the original I discovered that Allen is a serial copy/paster, dropping big gobbets of PF writ into any debate that dares disagree w/him.
Allen on September 20th, 2007
Well done Tom. You’re very smart!!
Adam on November 24th, 2007
They actually mention there being no dark side at the end, you lonely, obese, bitter girl.
Hacqyr on December 23rd, 2007
If your intention is to make yourself unpopular with a large section of Society, then calling Pink Floyd fans stupid is the way to go, I also don’t understand, if you hate music as you profess to do, then how can you judge it on quality, seems to me like you’re talking out of your ass
Hey on May 27th, 2008
OK, i like pink floyd but its cool with me that some others dont
but seriously
give REAL REASONS
yeah theres no dark side of the moon
but music .. i dont think its supposed to be taken so literally n scientifically
u dont like floyd? criticize their music n not their album covers or whatever..
FT's and everybody elses Mark G on May 27th, 2008
It’s funny how the contributors here, who say you can’t criticise music if you cannot play any..
are writing here but clearly can’t spell. Or write legible sentences. But criticise our Tanya anyway.
