GREAT SEAL OF THE CITY OF LONDON

A quick inspection of williambanzai7?s ersatz seal:

Ah, the dragons rampant support the shield, their tails always barbed, as are the tongues, (going as far back as to the emblazons of the Tudor period, where dragons? tails were long but ended quite bluntly.) All four legs are scaled, each with claws, always the wings are like those of bats with ribs joining them to the base. The single helmet is standard, consistent with English officialism, (although Henry VII?s chapel in Westminster Abbey, is an example of the contrary, it emblazons two helmets. By way of comparison, the German model of using two, turns them to face one another. When three helmets are used the outside helmets face center, the center helmet is in profile.)

The shield is the most important element as it contains the signs and emblems of achievement, augmentations and honors conferred upon the great city. The flip-of-the-bird in the shield designates F.U., the charge it carries. The method of marshaling, is by quartering of the shield, (as opposed to dimidiation, impalement and superimposition.) The symbols for world?s major currencies denote the great city?s territorial connections. The language on the shield, which forms the quarter, is ?LOW COMMON DEMONIATOR? LCD. (That argot itself doubtless connotes use in the more common colloquial form as a figure of speech meaning ?the most basic, least sophisticated level of taste, sensibility, or opinion among a group of people?. The Oxford English Dictionary cites ?H. G. Wells? 1910 serialisation of The New Machiavelli: Most clubs have a common link, a lowest common denominator in the Club Bore, who spares no one.?)

The words of the banner, ?DOMINE PONZI NOS?, (Lord Ponzi Us), ensconce the dollar symbol, which levitates prominently over the symbol representing the value of infinity.

Interesting satirization, hey, but, ouch.
