From gridskipper.com:
In a gallery of anti-American/anti-Israeli murals decorating the "U.S. Den of Espionage" in Tehran (i.e. the former American embassy), I noted the clawed hand crushing the Earth appeared similar to the cover art from a sci-fi novel by Scientologist overlord L. Ron Hubbard. But an astute reader points out that the weird, bifurcated fingernail/claws actually point to the cover art for classic 1990 video game Star Control as the mural's real inspiration. Ur-Quan akbar!
On the left, allegedly a mural on the former US Embassy in Tehran. On the right, the cover of my friend Paul Reiche's hit video game Star Control.
Ur-Quan akbar, indeed!
