Wow. Good job!

How much of your life did you waste on that?

I thought it was one of 3 thing:

A wrap around picture and what we thought was Planet Earth is infact his head...he's finally accepted he's going bald, shaved the lot off and painted it like Earth

or

Prince buggering the earth....either physically of environmentally

or

Prince finnaly coming out and saying what we knew he's been thinking for years "I am God!!"

One click.

Jakeasaurus said:

Wow.

It reminds me of the video in Ringu/The Ring.

Maybe Prince is about to climb out of the computer screen and give us the evil eye?



The Planet Earth font vaguely reminds me of the Chaos & Disorder font.

At the BET Awards Prince recited lyrics which included repeated references to 'Planet Earth'.

My educated guess would be that this is a song or album,probably both. It would also be a good title for a world tour, but the trailer says 'coming in Summer 2007' and Prince's first tour date is in May.

Prince also appears to be wearing a part PVC corset and ample pink eye shadow.

He looks more like 'Prince' than he has since 1997.

For those who haven't gotten the imagery:

"Earth" is usually referred to as feminine. Notice that the Prince symbol is a blend of the biological symbol for male and female. Does knowing the feminine apparel that prince is wearing make more sense now?

Please take this further and explain.. I'm interested in what you mean

Prince must just read these things and Laugh. He puts out these stupid criptic things out all the time. I think he does this in large for his own amusement. People on here claiming they know what its about for sure people rackin' their brains for what it could mean .. the guy must be laughing his socks off at the lot of us.

of course he is. why else do you think he hires people to post obtuse teaser images before every new project?

3121 said:

lol.....how did u KNOW?

Jakeasaurus said:

And yet its got 3121 all over the back of it.

VioletBrown said:

That's funny you said that. .the first thing I thought when I read the comments about the corset and the Earth was "Mother Earth" (I know it sounds cheezy but hey, that's what came to mind when seeing the image of the corsett with the earth in that picture) <--Ouch!!..that hurts!..okay you can stop that now. )

Album, IMO. Then tour, I hope.
it'd be silly for him not to put out a new album when he's got people's (beyond us) attention. We all know has the material. 3121 is a year old, and back in the day we would ususally get one album per year.

Ive wanted a world tour for ages but i just lost my job so im broke as a dog for a while.. hope its not for a while its hard for me to say that... sorry well leave Austral;ia for one of the last places please

That corset has got to go, he was wearing one at one of the 3121 concerts I went to and I didn't like it at all on him. But he is as fine as ever

I thought the exact same thing...he puts out these silly, cryptic messages because watching people try to dissect/predict what's going on amuses him. I didn't play the guessing game with 3121 either. When he's ready to give details about the new project and the cost of the shows, I may check it out...until then, no biggie.

At a guess I'd say he's gonna release that new song 'Somewhere Here On Earth' he's been playing recently at the 3121 club. With it mentioning 'summer' you might think it is bigger like an album, but you never know with Prince.

Incidently, the only complete shot of the Earth taken from space, from an Apollo mission returning from the moon I believe, showed Africa, and has been recycled ever since (we've never been far enough out since to take another shot of the whole Earth in one go). Computer generated versions aside, it always shows Africa, there's no symbolism in it.

I think "Planet Earth" is going to be an album and a single. I love the picture! He looks great. The corset is cool and the symbol chain is beautiful. I can't wait to see what Prince has in store.

He wants some of that Al Gore publicity.

interesting coincidence this happened today....did anyone see that Discovery Channel is launching a documentary called the same thing.

http://www.nj.com/enterta...xml&coll=1

"Then, every so often, that world expands. This week it's from the launching of Discovery Channel's "Planet Earth" tomorrow. The 11-part series is brilliant".
"The behind-the-scenes numbers are staggering. It took 71 camera people in 200 locations over 2,000 days to capture images that have never before been seen. The BBC, which produced it, credits its $25 million budget that allowed cameramen to stay in jungles and the Antarctic long enough to get what they needed".

I heard one camera man had to get two of his fingers amputated from frostbite.
But at least he got a decent close-up of a penguins balls.

What do u THINK inspired Prince? Great series btw, I highly suggest watching it, especially on HD.

Graycap23 said:

sorry- didn't mean to sound foolish, I just hadn't seen mention of this documentary around here previously- just the talk about Live Earth.
and it is just now going to be airing in the US.

U don't sound foolish at all. It's probably the 1st mention here on the org.
