Blame it on Nebraska's ice or the snow, but it was a slow week for forwards. Nevertheless, my father managed to send a gem. The forward simply contained clever marketing illusions from around the world. Here are my favorites:
These two items are merchandise bags. The gun bag is for 'ASPE CRIME STORIES.' It is pretty cool how real it looks, however ironic in that the bag itself probably aids in creating more 'Crimes Stories.' The other bag has a gentleman's image, but the bag's drawstrings create a 'noose' around his neck. Apparently BTK opened a clothing store.
These are advertisements for the sides of buses. The first features two people's faces on either side door creating the illusion of a kiss whenever the doors open and close. The second is a European ad for to convince you to stop smoking (the man's mouth is directly over the exhaust pipe). The final image is for National Geographic Channel's "Shark Week," and it creates the illusion that an entering rider is being 'eaten' by the shark. Its actually kind of scary.
This last one is pretty clever. Someone finally figured out a way to make America's obsession with fast-food cute without being too pretentious.Thanks Dad.
