All the covers for this book are… special, aren’t they?
This one made me think “If Zapruder had been a giant with a security camera head, we’d have had better coverage of the assassination”. OTOH that camera’s definitely black and white, not color.
The sweater must zip up at the back: no amount of elastic is going to stretch over the camera head and then snap back around the neck. Or maybe the zipper’s in that line on the neck.
@Tor: I believe the “zilla” element is the signifier, so “papazilla”. See also “bridezilla” and the comic MegaTokyo‘s “Rent-a-Zilla” (other kaiju are available).

This is not what I expected the surveillance state would look like.

Calling it right now, Orb will be in the next Deadpool movie as Oscar bait.

Since the paps hired that giant camera-headed guy, even the Kardashians have been blowing out openings.

@fred: not if TomSka and Ashens get to it first…

‘Published 1957’ – and yet nobody warned JFK. This could have saved us a lot of bother – and an Oliver Stone film.
It’s 1975, which is why it looks like ‘The Electric Company’.

Smart casual totalitarianism never looked so good.

What do you get when you cross Godzilla with a paparazzi? Is it a papazilla or a Godzarazzi?

When their head runs out of film… do they die?!?

@Tat Wood – Good spot! You are right it was 1975, my bad typing skills!

This is *not* what I expected when I heard the phrase “the revolution will be televised…”

Camzilla?
What size of projector is required for the processed film?
@Leak: Thanks for the TomSka link – that’s a bit of funny I’m about to enjoy binging.

I declare @Emster’s “Camzilla” to be the best word for it. And I think Camzilla is related to the “City Come A’Walking” cover.

@GSS ex-noob: the anthropomorphic personification of television? Mass media? Hollywood?

@Emster: make sure to also check out Stuart Ashen‘s YouTube channel, while you’re at it…

Any non-Canadian who isn’t afraid to try Kraft Dinner and actually likes it is cool by me. Looking forward to watching more of his shows.

@Emster: Americans are used to Kraft Mac and Cheese, which is the same minus butter and with cheaper cheese.
Most people can’t tell the difference, though.
