The Opening Sequence Of ‘The Simpsons’ … for real!

I still love the opening sequence of  The Simpsons… subtly different every time.

Now try it “for real”

Careful what you wish for…

Free at last of that nightmare job massaging models, “Uncle” finally gets his dream 9-5 office job.

You think YOUR job sucks?!

Pity this poor guy.

Unpaid overtime, 12-14 hour days. Is there no relief? (Don’t answer that!)

Stage Fright.

When I was a kid, I went to an all male grammar school.

This was the late 70s. Kids still used to smoke in the washrooms. Nowadays they probably shoot up or drop tabs, but back then nicotine was still the choice of “bad lads”.

One break, I went to the loo and was met by a group of 2-3 “older boys” having a sly ciggy.

They weren’t being offensive or anything, but the toilets were a bit cramped and after a minute or so it was apparent that the trip was for naught. One of the 6th formers actually said “Don’t you hate it when that happens, and you can’t go?” It’s true. Sometimes having an audience can really put the mockers on trying to pee.

Imagine then being suddenly faced with a brace of gorgeous ladies while you’re trying to get things flowing. Allow LG to show you what happens…

What we take for granted

Those of use that write, and more importantly read blogs would do well to take a moment’s pause to remember that it’s not a natural act. We’re not born reading, we learn it. Many people are not given, or perhaps simply don’t take the opportunity to gain that skill before adulthood.

DesignTAXI found a series of ads slated for showing in France to draw attention to the issue and perhaps remind us how much we take reading for granted. It also speaks to how formulaic advertising is, in that we readily assume the intent of an advert without reading the details necessarily.

One mystery remains though… if it’s for the French illiterate, why are they in English?!

Battersea: Power of London Launch

Eliza Doolittle at Battersea Power Station showing off her Palladium boots with co-host Remi Kabaka from the Gorillaz. I was actually reminded of wandering through Fountains Abbey, in Yorkshire. Obviously it’s nowhere near as old, but it has its own elegance despite its raw utility.

Chocolate is good for your teeth?

Chocolate toothpaste?

Not on April 1st?

How easily intimidated are you?

Another great Carlsberg advert. This one’s Belgian. The guy in the pink shirt is obviously very comfortable with who he is. Again, it’s surprising who turns away. Often the guy, not the girl who feels intimidated enough to leave.
