For example:



You will never look at a Wii controller the same way again.

What can you not unsee?

What am I supposed to be seeing? The circled area of the controller on the right faintly resembles Crow T. Robot from MST3K-
,
but beyond that I'm stumped.

The Wii-mote (god I hate that term) is basically just the center grip and analog stick of an N-64 controller.

Ah. I thought there was supposed to be more to it than that. That seems perfectly reasonable to me since they're both designed by the same company to be gripped by one's hand and hands didn't appreciably change in the years between the introduction of the N64 and the Wii. Apple would have done very well to follow a similar design ethic when they changed from the much-loved ADB Mouse II to the almost universally-hated "hockey puck"-style USB Mouse... but I digress.

Ever since I saw the arrow (long before many had actually seen it as well), I cannot look at the FedEx logo the same way without looking at the arrow first.

You've missed the point. It's clear that it's his hand, but at first glance you think that his face was enlarged a bit.

Same here. I went 40 years on this planet without seeing the arrow, but now it cannot possibly be unseen!

Best ever. The fact that the girl on the right has a Batman ear is gravy!

And it was an Aussie who pointed out the kiwis in the Canterbury logo, in 20 odd years I'd never noticed them, not many others have either.

Amazed no-one has posted the London Olympics 2012 logo. It is - as all Brits have known for some time - a lady with an Afro (or Lisa Simpson) on her knees performing a highly enjoyable service to a guy leaning backwards.

I see the afro lady...can't picture the guy leaning backwards. Still...another logo ruined by mind tricks.

Edit: never mind...I saw it...

Don't look into it, step back and look at the whole thing. The branches outline an obvious shape.

The circled mouth is actually showing a person's upper teeth, not lower teeth, where the lower teeth should be. Viewed upside down, it's hardly a smile but a look of unnatural disgust!

It's the same principle as the Thatcher effect. This is my favorite demonstration of it- these pictures look pretty normal:



Turn them upside down and you get:



Our brain is very good at recognizing if you turn somebody's eyes and mouth upside down, providing we view the face the right way up. Otherwise we don't notice.
