Nothing marks a lifetime of commitment like some quality wedding cake penises.

[–]Beefbob 2 points3 points ago

I'm glad i'm not the only one who thought they looked like two penises flopping out of the top of a cake.

[–]Ricktron3030 1 point2 points ago

Anytime 'flopping' appears in the same sentence as 'penises' I can't help but giggle.

Like most of Giger's work, that is awesome and disgusting.

That a darkseed reference?

Ah! My fellow Gigerian

[–]mythicnap 1 point2 points ago

I had that game as well growing up. Which probably explains a lot...

:) Never beat that damn game.

[–]Dzhezzi 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

That game created nightmares, and yet I stuck to it. You know what? I'm going to search for that game...and beat it!

Challenge accepted.

Oh shit yeah!

Never played Dark Seed (But I had Dark Seed 2, it was my step-dad's)

thanks for this :D

I think it's a penis reference.

You say Giger, I say veiny penises with teeth and cute little wedding attire on a vaguely industrial-organic metallic, black base. Tomato, tomahto.

[–]MoonDaddy 18 points19 points ago

Giger's work always had a very strong sexual tone to it, so you're kind of stating the obvious.

[–]beanswiggin 7 points8 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I see nothing sexual about this

[–]srry72 4 points5 points ago

Can't tell if NSFW Or if I've been on the internet too long.

[–]MoonDaddy 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

If it gives you a boner, it's prolly NSFW.

Actually, the chestburster in the movie was designed by somebody else other Giger. His design of the chestburster looked like a raw/naked turkey. See it here

You say Guy-ger, he actually pronounces it Gee-ger.

Clicky.

Did they have to be flesh colored?

Take a look at Giger's art. Penises everywhere. Hell, this is the painting that inspired the look of the Aliens in the first place! (NSFW) http://coolvibe.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/hrgiger11.jpg

[–]lovehate 1 point2 points ago

... That is indeed a penis. And with that, I'm done with the internet for today. Farewell, gents.

[–]intisun 0 points1 point ago

I've seen that painting a million times before and only now I notice the penis O_o

[–]beuh_jonny 1 point2 points ago

Every time I see a rad cake like that, I can only think: "Wow.. I would NEVER be allowed to have that at my wedding."

Every time I see a rad cake like that, I think "Wow... Now THAT's one reason I'd want to marry!"

If you are a guy then you can have anything you want as a Groom's Cake. If your the bride, then you get your way anyway.

I feel like all these obscure cakes are part of some sinister plot from some forgotten Doctor Who episode.

nothing more h.r. giger-y than pretty cakes!

[–]hopstar 0 points1 point ago

That looks awesome, but fondant taste like stale candy corn. That shit is disgusting.

This is the point in my life where I search for H. R. Giger and discover that the aliens in Aliens were modeled to look like walking penis monsters.

[–]xSylas 0 points1 point ago

i would love this on my birthday

[–]maskedspork 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Face it, this is just an Alien cake. If it was an H.R. Giger cake, it would be covered in penises.

[–]zgh5002 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I remember coming across an H.R. Giger art book when I was 10-11, and remembered him from a documentary I watched on Alien. I asked my dad if he would buy it for me, and he said sure. I will never understand his parenting methods, but he thought it was pretty cool that I was into art.

The one on the left looks like a finger.

I sure hope that the visual and the flavor don't combin:P

So, not up nor down, but leaving it neutral?

Mock us but joke aside we get to up/down-vote on more stuff than most countries.

We, Canadians, win.

[–]ours 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I actually meant voting on real stuff like laws and constitutional changes. Of course such a tiny country is not going to be weighting much on the Internet so our national Gross Domestic Karma isn't very high.

[–]moldyredditor 0 points1 point ago

oh. right. carry on you absinthe makers :)

[–]mickeythesquid 0 points1 point ago

Thats amazing! I would marry to get a cake of this quality.
