Where dreams become heart attacks

You know the Nike Air Max Burger from a while ago but you don’t know something called “Schnitzels and things”, which consists of 1 veal, 1 pork and 2 chicken schnitzels, layered with 4 hash browns, 10 rashers of bacon and mozzarella, or a triple decker pizza “cake” (1 ham, 1 sausage, 1 pepperoni) layered with boneless buffalo chicken wings, topped with a ranch and buffalo sauce drizzle, and sprinkled with a confetti of real bacon bits. Or The Melt Challenge (you don’t want to know what this is, believe me.)
Seriously, check out Thisiswhyyourefat.com, a site truly dedicated to becoming obese in the most creative - and sometimes fatal - way possible.
What’s a Milky Way worth if it’s not deep fried, you ask?
Then this is your new home.
If other sites claim to feature “foodporn”, this is the one with midgets, cute little animals and red-haired Lumberjacks.

Politicians are hilarious

At least when Will Ferrell, Chevy Chase and Jim Carrey are involved.
Take notes, Bundestag.

Boros

Been to the Boros bunker last sunday. Haven’t been so impressed by art or architecure

in a long time. The bunker itself humbles you. And each room holds another surprise. It’s like a crazy-ass Disneyworld for art-lovers. Especially Olafur Eliasson’s work never ceases to amaze me. I’m not much of an art guy but this whole concept blew me away. Do yourself a favor and go there when in Berlin. Adman Boros managed to create a magical and inspiring place. Reservation is needed.

Now that’s kind of cheap, Kein & Aber, don’t you think?

I’m not saying it’s a total rip-off, but it is.

NOTE: We couldn’t be any further away from being journalists here, or not biased for that matter, and maybe walker Werbeagentur is the original author of both pieces of work, but if not, somebody deserves a punch to the mouth and not ADC silver for copywriting. It just bothered me because I really liked the ad.

Paul Gazzola’s Mirror Van

Says the australien artist: “A caravan covered with mirrors. A large reflective surface of its surroundings. The van as a metaphor for surveillance. Mirroring its environment and exposing the looks and gazes whilst the interior becomes an unknown and hidden core where the observations are held and considered. The surrounding space an awkward interplay where one never escapes being visible and monitored. The interior like a cave - totally blackened out and sparsely appointed. A very practical and functional sleeping zone inside a highly active exterior. A place of rest where one can hide from this heightened exposure.”

Pretty awesome stuff, I say. More at the artists blog.

Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning.

As a copywriter, I’m always amazed, what can be delivered with those 24, 26 or how many letters your native alphabet uses, variables. And because I was raised by computers, while mommy earned money to pay the electricity bills, I have to feature
this:

Kill ‘em all

Pretty interesting launch-campaign for the Playstation game Killzone 2. What’s interesting about this little case film is the browser app that turns “the whole internet into a warzone.” Also interesting how some copywriter was able to come up with the line: “Kill for points. Kill for glory. But most of all: kill for fun.” Not exactly the best timing to drop lines like these with school massacres in Germany and the US. Though the campaign is from January 2009 (I believe) it feels kind of odd (and a bit sad) today. Still the browser app is really interesting and looks badass.

Well, long time nothing happenin’ here? Seems we’re all in the economic-downturn-struggle-cha cha cha. So here’s a linkdump with all good ideas and thingies. Since I don’t have any time to format them or shit, you’ll have to check them blindsighted. But no worries, they’re all good or awesome!

Sara Palin is even more surreal than any of Dali’s paintings.

Again ONLY IN AMERICA: Sarah Palin as possible next Vice-President. Someone made an effort and simply cut together some of her worst moments. One of my eyes laughed and the other cried like a baby bathed in onions. Watch for yourself!
