Six Six Six

Japanese Creative Barcodes
Beautiful.
[via grom]

I love this barcode related rant:
"Are you not familiar with the Revelations of Saint John, the final book of the bible, prophesizing the apocalypse? He forced everyone to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead so that no one shall be able to sell unless he has out that mark which is the name of the beast and the number of his name and the number is six, six, six.
What can such a specific prophecy mean? What is the mark?
Well the mark is the bar-code. The ubiquitous bar-code that you'll find on every (something) and every (packet of jonnies) and every (poxy-pork-pie). And every bar-code is divided into two sections by three markers and those markers are always represented by the number six. Six, six, six!"
(I've been meaning for ages to play this out when DJing. I'll do it at the next Goatlab.)
From the Mike Leigh film Naked, sampled by The Orb in S.A.L.T.
