Beauty: in the hand of the photoshop expert!

It's not often you'll find a topless woman on my blog but I came across this and thought it spoke volumes about the faux world we inhabit. A world where that which is valued, adored or desired exists, in the main, within an electronically manipulated or created reality.




'Vanity, vanity - all is vanity,' says the preacher in Ecclesiastes One.

We create desires (in sexual, fashion, product and self-perception) that can never be fulfilled and then invent ways to salve our sadness that mar God's image in us and make us uglier than we ever were :-(

Now who do you think wins with this situation (the good guy or the bad bloke)?

One of the best gaffes I've seen for ages (how I hope it's real):

Enjoy:

Trunk monkey:Abducted?

have to admit one of the people who has watched this flinched a bit at one stage (think it was something to do with probes and a bad experience at good Hope perhaps?) - still, it's good to see the Aliens don't have it all their way I guess :-)


Still got a few to go (and saved couple of best for last).

have a good commute people

Made me Laugh: Car Theft Deterrent

Another one of the 'Trunk Monkey' adverts and this has been received with stunned, yet wide-eyed, amazement and howls of laughter depending on who the viewer was!

When I first saw this I have to saw that I loved it - and still do:


I love it when a company hits on a theme (like Walkers and Lineker) and carries it through for some time and makes it their own brand's leitmotif. Mind you, Ronald and golden arches, Jesus and the Cross? What products/groups do we associate icons or objects with ... discuss (or perhaps not as I'm sure some will struggle with Jesus and Ronald in the same sentence!).

Really Clever Greenpeace ad

Not often I can step back and admire the advertising world's offerings but I think this is an extremely effective and powerful ad on behalf of Greenpeace:



I love to see good and effective communication - especially when there's so little of it around these days!
