Why does the logo on his back not also have a supernatural badonkadonk?

Massive branding fuckup. It's like they don't know to sell the viewer on the primary feature, like they don't know what they've got or don't want to sell us on what they've got.

That's not a logo, that's a tramp stamp

i am befuddled - just a few moments ago i took a glance at the image preview and thought i saw a chocolate cookie, and was very freaked out that it was a spider body when i took a closer look.

hmm maybe a good time to finally go to sleep (damn nightmares, they make me fear the nighttime)
