http://www.wyofile.com/blog/yellowstone-bison-gores-helvetica-man/"Its happened again in Yellowstone National Park. This time the victim tossed into the air by a bison is Helvetica Man.
Helvetica Man, the international graphic representation of a human that marks almost every public mens restroom, now is on the horns of a Yellowstone buffalo. Youve seen Helvetica Man before slipping on wet floors and falling over crumbling cliffs. His latest misadventure appears on thousands of flyers being distributed at entrance stations to the worlds first national park.
The faceless, emotionless Helvetica Man whos not only slipped and fallen but also competed every Olympic event from archery to swimming to discus put a more soulful figure out of work. Millions of Yellowstone visitors will no longer be warned by the ubiquitous yellow flyer with an illustration depicting the bison-launched, Anguished Airborne Illustrated Tourist.
Gone is the Anguished Airborne Illustrated Tourists tousled hair, his flying ball cap, his doomed single-lens-reflex camera and his punctured hiking shorts. Gone is the Anguished Airborne Illustrated Tourists grimace.
...
Will Yellowstones Helvetica Man work as a messenger? I think we should have more blood and guts, Benefiel said.

No Helvetica Cell Phone in the air? Hmm.

(39,961 posts)19. I have to wonder in that first pic
if it's a rip in his hiking shorts or if it's a representation of crapping himself.
