Ah, the power of the mosaic – that little clump of pixels used by news networks to blur out the faces of anonymous sources and by Japanese porn producers to conceal people’s sexy parts. They can pretty convincingly hide most sensitive visuals from public scrutiny, while still offering us just a little tantalizing glimpse of the features beneath.

They can also, it turns out, serve as a pretty good litmus test for how gutter-minded you are; because when applied to everyday scenes, such as chefs preparing meals, athletes celebrating victories, even something as innocuous as folks making pottery, the scenes are suddenly transformed into something that appear, at first glance, much dirtier than they should.

Take these .gifs, for instance: Can you correctly guess what’s beneath the mosaic? (Hint: Shouting “Penis!” is only correct in maybe one or two of these.)

This gives us a great product idea: Mosaic Glasses, that overlay a mosaic over the things you’re seeing in real life. Endless chuckles for everyone! We call dibbsies on that idea, by the way. If we see these on the market in the future, you’ll all be hearing from our extremely competent lawyer, Mr. Sato.
