Criss Angel is a dick


We don't have anything against Criss Angel, the Las Vegas Strip magician and stunt performer Cris Angel, but the news media of Las Vegas-- you know, the guys and gals who don't think the untimely death of Strip superstar Danny Gans is worth investigating-- hate the guy. They hate his show, they hate that he called Perez Hilton a "douchebag asshole" from the stage at the Luxor-- and they don't like his billboards!

Tabloid Baby pal Richard Abowitz (who also can't be convinced that the Danny Gans story is not only his turf but his responsibility, but he's not really a journo) points out on his Gold Plated Door blog that the current outdoor advertising for Angel's Believe show at the Luxor is a "local's joke" because, in the words of local import Holly Madison, it was "artistically rendered to look like a penis or medical drawing of a vagina.”


And you know, as you take a closer look at that stage curtain, the image does seem to be about as close to that Mom's Apple Pie album cover as you can get away with on a highway roadsign:


Us? We're more impressed with an alternative version that's made its way among various ads and websites. Look closely at this one:


Look at it from far away:


Look at it again-- and you notice the subliminal phallic imagery, and realize that the artists have turned Angel into a human penis-- with his head as the "dickhead."


Now that's a trick!

Who will be the new Danny Gans?


The Las Vegas Review-Journal posts a blurry photo of two contenders for Danny Gans' "Mr. Vegas" title (and pretenders to Danny Gans' throne?), Carrot Top and Criss Angel, at Danny Gans' memorial in what was his showroom.
