Okay, well the London Eye is a ferris wheel. It's a big tourist attraction there. Personally, I don't detect anything sinister, just another way to generate more publicity. What I do wonder about is if the artwork for the DVD coming out in November might reveal something more when it's spun... I haven't seen the artwork yet, so I can't say what it looks like--if it's a stylized illustration, or just a photo of one of his eyes... Anyway, here's a couple articles on the story... ____________________________________________________ www.digitalspy.co.uk/music/a71788/mccartney-wants-to-rename-the-london-eye.html?rssMcCartney wants to rename the London Eye Wednesday, August 15 2007, 10:58 BST By Alex Fletcher Sir Paul McCartney wants to rename the London Eye to help promote a new DVD anthology of his musical career. The former Beatles and Wings legend wants to use the London landmark to advertise his latest release and could possibly even perform a gig there. It is believed that McCartney would not only like to rename the Eye but that he would also like them to consider having his album artwork displayed on the giant wheel. A source told the Daily Mirror: "The whole idea came together after a series of meetings in Macca HQ. The artwork for the DVD cover is a stylised close-up of Sir Paul's eye - and that got the team thinking. "It occurred to them that the other most famous eye in the world was, of course, the London Eye and they immediately tried to work together." Talking about the possibility of a gig at the landmark, they commented: "It's ambitious but his people are determined to make it happen and Sir Paul may even perform a one-off show in one of the pods to make it even more special." They added: "Macca loves London and to be the face and name of the Eye - albeit just for a short time - would be a massive honour that he would cherish." The musical collection titled, The McCartney Years, is due for release in November. ____________________________________________________ music.monstersandcritics.com/news/article_1343384.phpPaul McCartney's London Eye Paul McCartney -London, England © Solarpix / Photorazzi Aug 15, 2007, 11:20 GMT Sir Paul McCartney wants the London Eye to be renamed after him. The former Beatle is pushing to have the name of one of London's biggest tourist attractions changed to the McCartney Eye to promote the release of DVD 'The McCartney Years' in November. A source told Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper: "The whole idea came together after a series of meetings. The artwork for the DVD cover is a close-up of Sir Paul's eye - and that got everyone thinking. "We realised one of the other most famous eyes in the world was the London Eye and they immediately tried to work together." As well as renaming the London Eye for a short period, it is also thought there are plans to beam the DVD artwork onto the 443ft tall big wheel. The source adds: "It's ambitious but his people are determined to make it happen and Sir Paul may even perform a one-off show in one of the pods to make it even more special. "Paul loves London and to be the face and name of the London Eye - albeit just for a short time - would be a massive honour that he would cherish." (C) BANG Media International |

I hope he gets his wish.
We all live in a circle, with our ups and our downs.
We all get a lot of things we want in life; blessings come from unknown places.
We all don't desire linkage with a well known Ferris Wheel, but we'd be happy to ride it once or twice!
Why shouldn't he have a chance to have something fun and entertaining named for him for a time?
I say thumbs up.

About "The Eye": en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_London_Eyeabout it being McCartnEYE: www.mirror.co.uk/showbiz/3am/2007/08/15/paul-mccartn-eye-89520-19631759/"Paul McCartn-eye PLANS TO RENAME LONDON EYE AFTER BEATLE MACCA 15/08/2007 He's spent most of his life in the public eye but Sir Paul McCartney now has his sights set on something truly revolutionary. Because we can exclusively reveal that the London Eye could be renamed the McCartney Eye. No, wheelly! Macca's camp want to sensationally rename the landmark to coincide with the release of The McCartney Years DVD in November. The much-hyped three-disc DVD will be an anthology spanning Macca's vast musical career. Advertisement Serious talks are now taking place between Macca's people and the Eye about a one-off collaboration. Says our impeccable source: "The whole idea came together after a series of meetings in Macca HQ. "The artwork for the DVD cover is a stylised close-up of Sir Paul's eye - and that got the team thinking. "It occurred to them that the other most famous eye in the world was, of course, the London Eye and they immediately tried to work together." It's understood that as well as renaming the Eye for a one-off period, the DVD artwork could also be beamed on to the attraction. We reckon tourists would flock to see Macca's 65-year-old eye projected on to the wheel - as it will probably be the only time the London Eye will have bags under it. (Only joshing Macca!) Our source added: "If it goes ahead, it will be a massive boost for Macca to be associated with one of the most well-known attractions in London. "It's ambitious but his people are determined to make it happen and Sir Paul may even perform a one-off show in one of the pods to make it even more special." Well, he was no stranger to getting high when he was a Beatle. At least this time it'll all be legal. It would certainly be one of the more unusual venues he has played in. Standing 443ft tall above the South Bank, it has views to die for (Uh-oh.) - and is Britain's most popular visitor attraction with 3.5 million people going on it every year. Our source adds: "Macca loves London and to be the face and name of the Eye - albeit just for a short time - would be a massive honour that he would cherish." The DVD promises to be one of the most comprehensive collections of music and recordings ever compiled - and all digitally remastered. There's already a massive buzz surrounding it, with thousands of fans ordering their copies already. In fact, sales are expected to be very eye indeed.

Really ? The way I understand it, Paul purchasd Cavendish in order to be close to work. Cavendish is walking distance from Abbey Road Studios. For those of you who live in England, tell me if I'm wrong. I'm of the understanding that Northeners & Southerners are not too fond of each other. Those born up North are not very impressed with London at all. Paul "was" scouse. He was a Northerner. He would most likely rather cut his own tongue out than to say that he LOVED LONDON.   Bill/F aul on the other hand...  |

I don't know, it seems awfully narcissistic to demand to have a huuuuuge attraction (albeit probably only ridden by tourists, right? Maybe? I don't know... but still, EVERYBODY knows about it.) named after you.

Yah think   Actually, I have to wonder what color this McCartney eye will be ? Will it be grayish/blue, green, hazel or brown ? I have seen photos of Faul in which his eye color is every color I just mentioned ! ;D |

Eww. This really is kind of upsetting to me! I thought Faul was classier than that; I actually liked his what seemed like a somewhat grounded frame of mind.
Now that I've got that out, that image is veeery interesting. Looks like there's a lot of potential to hide images in there.
See the central picture in the "pupil"? Isn't he playing right handed?!
EDIT: nevermind, I thought it was a back view... I can't tell if it's frontal or not, but I'm guessing it is, since I don't think they'd put something THAT obvious in there. That said, maybe my eyes are playing tricks on me, but doesn't the way he's facing seem at least a little hard to determine until you examine it reeeeally closely? I'm also tired and pretty much blind but... I don't know.

Well if that proposed cover doesn't convince me of some kind of Masonic/Illuminated symbolism nothing will.

The photo of Paul that he used is one in which Paul looks upset. I wish he would've just left Paul out of it. |

Well if that proposed cover doesn't convince me of some kind of Masonic/Illuminated symbolism nothing will. .......other convincing data would be the overkill hyping of this "eye" image to the kids. It's absolutely everywhere. Look for images of the sun and/or the spinning or pulsing "eye" in all venues of children's programing. Often currently disguised in rain drop/ripple (movement) patterns, for example in the last release of Charlotte's Web, at the end of the opening animation credit Raindrops trace the circle in the water ad infinitum. It's unbelievable how bombarded kids are by the media and even electronic toys mass marketed. Check out the second level of this game as an example also if you don't believe me pbskids.org/caillou/games/train/index.html. Have fun! |

link doesn't work iameye. Mel Gibson is another, he has an all seeying eye logo for "Icon (eye-con or I con. hee hee)" his media company He cons people to believe he is a christian yet he openly flaunts the all seeing eye, even his Jesus, Jim Cavezial, sports an all seeing eye throughout his movie, Mel even opening told the world of his NWO affiliation by saying he used his left hand to nail Jesus to the cross "my sinostra (sp) hand". Then there are the eyes and pyramids Nickelodeon embeds in all thier programming from Spongebob on down. www.cremationofcare.com/illu_sym_allseeingeye.htmwww.infowars.com/articles/occult/illuminati_symbolism_nickelodeon.htm |

.......there seems to be a glut of two images presented via media these days- the "capstone eye" we are most familiar with, the all seeing eye in the pyramid, and the "electronic" or moving, "alive" image of the circle w/in a circle. To me, I am not sure if this is a newer incarnation of the same theme - or a separate deal....any thoughts?.     SN1987 connection? |

I know some of the circle within a circle eyes look like reptile eyes, and some look like snakes but that thing behind Paul's head looks like janet jackson's nipple (hee hee). Seriously though, I wonder if there were only 3 and what that trinity of circles/disc/eyes/nips really means. That red eye looks like Lord of the Rings 2 towers eye. "the face and name of the Eye " indeed! aLL PICS OF fAUL OFCOURSE, is that cranberry sauce or rams blood in that chalice? Notice how the eye has no affiliation to Paul it is stricyly the "McCartney" eye because it is strictly the Bill/Faul Years. Can he throw his illuminati membership card in our faces any closer? Why does that eye look so much like the eye of Horus? Maybe if we squint or rotate the picyure it willn turn into some other hidden image. Okay those disc do remind me of crop circle formations. Are they floating? How did they get down to his head level? I was throwing out a paper and I looked thru the target add one more time despite it being 2 weeks old and I noticed on one of the rose art school supplies pencil boxes for children there was an upside down star on the lid, purposely photographed? and the rose art symbol is a rainbow colored eye! and it was positioned in the center of the star as you look at it upside down so there is no mistake that the pentagram is the correct view. it was just an opaque pink box, with no other designs but this pentagram & logo! it is called the RoseArt light up school box. The pics I have seen on the web have diffrent packaging than the one target advertised with a clear upside down star. crop circle pics www.temporarytemples.co.uk/newweb/imglib.phpintersting forum talking about bono & John Lennon as well! |

nausea sets in........... "Nausea (Latin: Nausea, Greek: ?, "sea-sickness") is the sensation of unease and discomfort in the stomach with an urge to vomit. [edit]Causes Nausea is not an illness; it is a symptom of several conditions, many of which are not related to the stomach. Nausea is often indicative of an underlying condition elsewhere in the body. Travel sickness, which is due to confusion between perceived movement and actual movement, is an example. The sense of equilibrium lies in the ear and works together with eyesight. When these two don't "agree" to what extent the body is actually moving the symptom is presented as nausea even though the stomach itself has nothing to do with the situation. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nausea |
