(For all those who can’t read the title of this post, here’s the definition) An AMBIGRAM is a typographical design or artform that may be read as one or more words not only in its form as presented, but also from another viewpoint, direction, or orientation. The words readable in the other viewpoint, direction or orientation may be the same or different from the original words.
The cover is awesome, but I still don’t understand what people find so funny about that movie. It’s amateur-hour story-telling at best. The jokes are lame and the production is shoddy.
Its colourless, odourless, tasteless and dissolves completely in water.
Thats why the Darwin Award contestans on this thread will never get it.
Please ppl remove yourselves from the gene pool ASAP, your time is up.
People are acting like this is a magical wonder… OOhh put curley swiggly lines at the tips of words so it can be blended to make other words.. Seriously to all of you who said this made my day.. What kinda day were you having without this.. THAT is the inconceivable part!!!!!!!!!!
[...] you don’t like these guys, you might as well stop reading and move on to something else, like look at cool dvd covers or something. I know I fall under that category. I enjoyed climbing a tree for this one…and I [...]
We actually own this one, and I never even realized that you could flip it like that until I was trying to put the DVD up one day (it’s my sister’s favorite movie, she’s always leaving it around) and the opening was on the wrong side. It’s pretty cool. Wonderful example of amazing design.
And definitely NOT ‘shopped – if in doubt, go check out your local Wal-Mart or whatever store sells DVDs.
Shoot, my computer screwed up and made my location my email address. Whatever. At any rate, this IS my picture, and that IS me. I posted it on my Tumblr back in April [http://katielopezzz.tumblr.com/post/514001216] and just found this now. If you could give me credit, that’d be sweet. Thanks.

Saw this a while ago, I used to work in a movie store. It was awesome then and it’s still pretty sweet now. But it is very, very old.
