Haloed

The opposite of the Halo Effect is the Devil Effect? And comics can be made by copying Wikipedia text verbatim and pasting it onto drawings of hot chicks? Why aren’t I in this business?

Why not the pitchfork effect? Or the Bifurcated Tail Effect? Or the Brimstone Effect? I can think of a dozen better names for “things that are obverse to halos” than ‘Devil’. And this is to say nothing of the more likely celestial —in the non-theological sense— origin of the term referring to the bands of colored light surrounding a light source, caused by refraction, making the light source appear larger. Oy.
