Good for you, I myself am going to study abroad in japan at Senshu
Universtiy this coming semester(remember people, I need volunteers to keep
the ftp up...).
Anyway, to help you, go to the ftp site: ftp://129.93.212.27 and go to the
"pictures" subdirectory in the Moby directory. There you will find a file
called "Moby CK.bmp" and you can see the full color advertisement for
yourself. This is actually an older ad(it was up a few weeks ago, or
perhaps months on a huge billboard in NYC). Recently however the ad
campaign has expanded, this month the ad appeared in several magazines,
and, to my suprise was on the back of every single marvel comic this past
month. The revenue and clothes that Moby received were all donated to
charity.
Also, his pose is hardly indicative of a crucifix, if I remember correctly
this same pose and movement can be seen in the Natural blues video(I may
be wrong).
Chris.

Ohh, this story is so cute! It made me very happy. It's hard to think of Moby as a normal person sometimes (at least for me) but this just reminds me that he is.

Hi guys.... since some one posted that the ck
photo of moby was available at the ftp site... I
realized we could post something there other than
music.
So, i've posted the autograph that moby gave me
when i saw him in Dallas on the back of the club
"all access" pass i begged off the roadie for
"boom boom satellites." I colored it and saved it
as a BMP file so that it makes that extra special
desktop wallpaper for windows. It's at:
ftp://129.93.212.27/Moby/pictures/
Enjoy.
