I just don't get why that's popular

[Death from the Sea]

I know Giger designed the Alien creature, got an ilustration book of his myself (disturbing as it is).

What I meant is that Giger has a tendency to mix genitalia in many of his designs, and that the Alien's elongated phallic head might not be just a coincidence... Specially considering some other illustrations from Giger where you see creatures with similar elongated heads wich are, quite clearly, penises.


And in case someone wonders, Giger did not design any of the Alien variations in the sequels. (He did design the creatures from Species).

Giger was in the 8% growing up, he just never grew out of it.
