Advertising agencies work hard trying to make sure that their clients’ brands are recognized the world over.  Everyone is familiar with the Coke logo, or AT&T or Franklin’s Finest Instant Gravy.  Advertising works whether we like it or not.

But could it be that sometimes they are too clever for their own good.  Can a company spend a butt-load of money on a logo and then realize that it is so clever and subtle that nobody gets it?  Yes.  The pics after the jump will prove it.  At least they did to me.

You try guessing what’s hidden in the logos.  And because I am such a nice guy, I’m gonna give you one to get started.  One that’s bugged me for a long time.  Not because I can’t see it, but because I never saw it before.  Federal Express has a very familiar logo.  You know, the blue Fed and the orange Ex.  Everyone knows it.  but can you see the arrow?  If you can, then you will probably do pretty well on the rest of them.  If you can’t, I’ll give you a hint:  You are as stupid as me and you should feel really badly about yourself.

So there you go.  The arrow is over there.  Is it pointing at you?  At me?  At the Moxie guy?  Who knows?  And the ones after the jump are even harder.  I was gonna give you hints but then I remembered that time when I asked you for a hint.  Remember?  We were playing: Don’t lick the knife with the poison on it?  You didn’t have anything to say then, Internet.  So I don’t have anything to say now.  Also, who invented that game?  Licking a knife that isn’t poisoned is only marginally better!

Now get guessing after the jump! Read the rest of this entry »

Why?

You know how bustedstr8 takes pictures of people he thinks are douches.  Well, he did it again.  And as usual he didn’t tell us why, so it’s on us to try to figure it out.  Here are the clues as I seem them.

• busted is a degenerate gambler so I have no doubt that he took this picture.
• You are no supposed to be taking pictures in casinos, let alone AT the tables so I am going to have to assume he was beaten soundly after taking it.  That must mean that one of the people in the picture was such a douche that it was worth some cracked ribs.
• He either doesn’t like that lady, they guy behind the lady or the elbow on the left.
• Since this is not called ‘elbows busted thinks are douches’, I’m gonna rule out elbow.
• The lady either already busted or already won, no?  She has no cards on the table.
• She looks like she is worried elbow is gonna steal her pocketbook.
• The guy standing behind her seems like he is up to something.  Standing there like Superman with his hands on his hips.  Suspicious if you ask me.
• What’s he got under that hat, something douchey?
• That lady doesn’t have shit for chips.  Maybe busted robbed her!

I don’t have any more ideas.  Someone ask bustedstr8.  Unless he’s too drunk.

bustedst8 thinks this guy is a douche. Why?

bustedstr8 has been around here for a long time.  And he travels a lot.  So it just seemed natural that eventually he would take pictures of people he thought were douche bags and send them to me to post here.

But he was too lazy to tell me WHY he thinks they are douches.  So I guess I’ll just put them up here and you can guess.  Or ask me.  Or ask him.  Or just get your feelings hurt cause the person happens to be you.

If this is you in the silver car, I think that probably you didn’t know that bustedstr8 was taking your picture and that it would end up on the internet.  You probably were thinking: “boy I can’t wait to get to my driveway so i can look at my car!  And I bet nobody is taking my picture right now for the purpose of making fun of me later!”  I’m sorry whoever you are.  You were wrong.

Discuss.

Officer turkey leg there seems to have things well in hand at the local fairgrounds (or wherever she is) so I’m going to take some time to find some good cop quotes to go with my cop post about cops!  Or at least have something to do with cops.

****Now Updated with a Sweet Pic of Cornmeal!  Or maybe it was “from” Cornmeal.  I dunno.

“A recent police study found that you’re much more likely to get shot by a fat cop if you run.” Dennis Miller

“As a child, I’ve always been in trouble with men and the police have always had to get involved, through no fault of my own.”  Katie Price

“I’m not against the police; I’m just afraid of them.” Alfred Hitchcock

“In West Virginia yesterday, a man was arrested for stealing several blow-up dolls. Reportedly, police didn’t have any trouble catching the man because he was completely out of breath.”  Conan O’Brien

“Marriage: A friendship recognized by the police.” – Robert Louis Stevenson

“Society questions the police and their methods, and the police say, Do you want the criminals off the street or not?” – Kurt Russell

“Scandal begins when the police put a stop to it.” – Karl Kraus

She changed her name from Laura Hollins (boring!) to Agyness Deyn which was probably really smart. Her new name makes her sound exotic and that’s always a bennie in the modeling world. The new name actually suits her looks better. Her album isn’t very large but it’s fairly comprehensive. If there are any Aggy fans out there (not Aggie fans, that’s waaay different!) feel free to send me new pix of her — especially tongue pix!!

Agyness Deyn

Have you heard about the twist for the next season of “Survivor”?  Three businessmen and three businesswomen will be dropped in an elementary school classroom for one school year.  Each business person will be provided with a copy of his/her school district’s curriculum and a class of 20-25 students.

Each class will have a minimum of five learning-disabled children, three with A.D.H.D., one gifted child, and two who speak limited English. Three students will be labeled with severe behavior problems.

Each business person must complete lesson plans at least three days in advance, with annotations for curriculum objectives and modify, organize, or create their materials accordingly. They will be required to teach students, handle misconduct, implement technology, document attendance, write referrals, correct homework, make bulletin boards, compute grades, complete report cards, document benchmarks, communicate with parents, and arrange parent conferences. They must also stand in their doorway between class changes to monitor the hallways.

In addition, they will complete fire drills, lock-down drills, and [Code Red] drills for shooting attacks each month.

They must attend workshops, faculty meetings, and attend curriculum development meetings. They must also tutor students who are behind and strive to get their two non-English speaking children proficient enough to take the SOLS tests.  If they are sick or having a bad day they must not let it show.

Each day they must incorporate reading, writing, math, science, and social studies into the program. They must maintain discipline and provide an educationally stimulating environment to motivate students at all times.  If all students do not wish to cooperate, work, or learn, the contestant will be held responsible.

The business people will only have access to the public golf course on the weekends, but with their new salary, they may not be able to afford it.  There will be no access to vendors who want to take them out to lunch, and lunch will be limited to thirty minutes, which is not counted as part of their work day.

The business people will be permitted to use a student restroom, as long as another survival contestant can supervise their class.

If the copier is operable, they may make copies of necessary materials before, or after, school. However, they cannot surpass their monthly limit of copies.  The business people must continually advance their education, at their expense, and on their own time.

The winner of this Season of Survivor will be allowed to return to their job.
