I was being the news-conscious individual that I normally was the other day when I was reading scamp's blog. Just being the good student, keeping up with news from a trustworthy anonymous source on the interwebs, when I saw this ad.
It's an ad for Sony.
If you read scamp's blog then you'd know he thinks it's shit, and so do many anonymous comments on the blog. (btw read the tip posted on scamp's blog today. It's great.)
Besides being a more expensive "balls" knock-off, I find most of the comments retarded and the ad a stunning piece of work.
The idea of the ad is that it encourages people to record it, document it from their own point of view. The bubbles are just a vessel. Of course, the fact that huge amounts of bubbles and foam running wild on a warm, sunny day is the very definition of bliss helps out quite abit.
It's an excellent of example of advertising/design/art evoking happiness in people.
Bringing people together.
After watching the ad a few more times I told myself, "I wanna do this."
More so than awards, raising sales, being a CD and whatnot.
I want to unite people, inspire bliss and bring out the joy in people that their egos have hidden for so long.

The Singapore/China thing
In short, would you rather live with free will and bear the insecurities that comes along with it?
or the illusion of free will and be safe?

adsoftheworld
It's sickening sometimes. How far people will go just to promote their own work.
Every time I and go on to ads of the world and I see an ad with the first comment is "great!" "love it" or anything of the sort the first thing I do is see the bugger is from. If the comment came from the same country the ad came from, I raise my suspicions.
People who do this are priming people to elicit a good response from them, for egoistical purposes mostly.
I'm losing faith in many things lately.

I'm tired of playing win win.
Dear Janet,
I'm sorry but it's true.
I'm tired, so tired of playing win win.
Every time I try it it ends up as me losing.
It's especially easy to lose when you're outnumbered.
While in the past I would have been ok with that, things have somewhat changed.
I still try to do my best, but I'm beginning to despair.
I think I know why.
I'm doing it wrong.
But it's tiring, and it's hard.
So hard.
That's not to say I'll give up.
But it's so hard.
I need someone to tell me and convince me that there's a win win solution to every problem in the world.
Because I'm beginning to lose sight of that.
How do you do it everyday? Not despair even when it seems like some God is toying with you. How do you do it?
It's something I need learn, and apply.
cheers.

Not about astronomy, science, art, politics or anything trivial in particular, but still pretty important.
I'm 21. I'm young, almost criminally so. I don't feel I'm qualified to talk about alot of the things going on in the world right now. I feel like I haven't been through enough. Expressing your views and thoughts when you don't know enough is only okay when the audience you're speaking feels like you've known enough. Even so, I still feel this constant sense of inferiority.
With that understood, I'm not going to say anything today.
But I'm going to let someone else say what I wanted to say.
I'll have my say in due time.
But society doesn't often allow you the context in which you can freely express yourself and be taken seriously.
So I give you what is positively the most entertaining presentation I have seen, perhaps ever.
Clifford Stoll is an astronomer (though his astronomy career took a turn when he noticed a bookkeeping error that ultimately led him to track down a notorious hacker), researcher and internationally recognized computer security expert -- who happens to be a vocal critic of technology -- Stoll makes a sharp, witty case for keeping computers out of the classroom. Currently teaching college-level physics to eighth graders at a local school, he stays busy in his spare time building Klein bottles.
