The simple joy of real people
Just loving the wonderful meme that’s brewing on the likes of eBay and Amazon at the moment.
After coming across the now LEGENDARY 3 wolves and the moon T-shirt (only $12.15!) and being totally enchanted by the hilarious reviews that people are leaving (including the brilliant picture library) I’m now obsesed by trawling the web for the wonderful and wierd products for sale and the reviews afoot. Favourite so far? The magic of the Zubaz pants.
Example review here:
I was searching for clothes that speak to me.. These pants not only spoke to me, they entered my soul and transformed me. When I get out of my bitchin 78 camaro wearing these bad boys, there’s no question who the boss man is..
You can easily go commando in these and feel even more manly. Your junk swings freely and using the restroom is that much easier..
Accessories to consider:
Flannel shirt with the sleeves cut off. The “don’t mess with me” look.
flip flops – The casual “I’m too lazy to get fully dressed” look.
baseball helmet with two beer can holders on the sides.
Ball cap worn backwards or to the side. You know I’m coooool.
These pants will get the ladies. There are many many places these can be worn to attract the female species:
Tractor pull
Walmart
NASCAR events
Your local neighborhood crack houses.
The drug rehab rec room
Any place in the state of IOWA.
I recommend buying multiple pairs. Keep an extra pair in the trunk of your car.. You never know where you will wake up in the morning but you will always have a clean pair of these bad boys with you..
Doritos Japan – building a believable brand ;-?
This spicy pack design from Doritos in Japan (courtesy of my good friend John-Patrick) is so wrong, and yet so right… Not sure what it says about them as a snackfood, but the windmill-ee certainly looks pretty happy…
YouTube circa 1985
Too funny – happy new year! I love that this really shows the uniqueness of digital, and how ludicrous the idea of YouTube is without it.
Not a bad effort, that…
Just got sent this link by a recent Kingston Uni graphic design grad, Paul Calway…
Don’t know what it says about his graphic skills (though his portfolio is very nice) but it was nice to have such a giggle in my inbox in the morning. Fantastically art-school jokes, but Hitler as a moody YBA is just too delicious. The tent snippet is my personal favourite.
Without further ado (and continuing the weird YouTube Hitler trend of the moment), here is “Hitler, A Modern Artist”, the BBC4 promo.
The martians are landing
I’ve blogged about her before, but Beck Wheeler is just ace.
Check out this great little comic strip…
Brilliant signage from Southampton
Something about these just tickled my fancy… From the same complex (with cinema/family restaurants and clubs all rolled into one – but no bowling).
