Images of people en masse spelling things with their bodies?
January 16, 2007 9:48 PM   RSS feed for this thread Subscribe

Desperately looking for images of people en masse, spelling something with their bodies. Or in stadiums, when they make a picture by having everyone hold up a colored card.

I've tried the search terms I could think of and run them through the usual suspects... but if you know of such a picture (or a group of pictures) like this, I'd be metagrateful.

Mass Games will get you a bunch of pictures of stadium card art, but they'll be almost all from North Korea.

I could tell you to do a google image search for nude peace protest. Now if you did that what you ended up seeing would be your problem but among them you will indeed get some pictures of people spelling stuff out with their bodies. Naked people.

It's not a great (or even a color) image, but I still can't believe no one's linked the Great Rose Bowl Hoax of '61.

"Tifo" is the search term for cards and other displays at a football match.

Here are some pretty amazing ones from North Korea, theoretically not postcard reproductions but photos an American took on a trip.

This may not be exactly what you're after, but zefrank's letters may be of interest. Doesn't seem to work in Safari, but does in Firefox.

How about the music video for Mad World by Michael Andrews?

Not sure if it fits the bill, but there are some cool videos of commercials with people moving in all different shapes at You Tube..... here and here.

Cool to watch anyway. :)
