Did you miss me? Lol. On today's post I thought maybe we could do a little reading (judging/criticizing/making fun) of some posters and advertisements I've seen the past couple of months. This will be a very short post but as usual a lot of pictures.
First, let us look at a advertisement poster for J-Men. So what is J-Men, it is a fashion magazine that focuses on male fashion, so shortly and obviously it's about Style. As you can see, it says the Style issue... What? So were they fooling their readers the whole time? That they were not really a fashion magazine. Are they trying to make their readers/demographic to think they are a magazine about woodworking and automobiles? Then all of a sudden they decided to do an issue advising about styling. Seriously.
Now this artist I've never heard of not even the band they are trying to use to pull in an audience. One thing I have to say when your poster says you are a former member of a group; it means you bombed as a solo artist and you should have never done so in the first place. It's a huge cry for attention and its like the last resort. I would also like to point out; that is fucking expensive for an artist who didn't make it huge as a solo artist. Lets cut the shit, having that "Ex-" and "Former member of" in the poster, that ticket price should be two thirds less. It shameful, lets be honest.
Lets go Hollywood and take a look at a movie poster that has quite a few huge names. Only that, I'm quite sure the person in the picture is Halle Berry and not Richard Gere. Also I didn't know Jackass star Johnny Knoxville was also the male lead star of Pretty Woman. Yes, I know it was consistent on the whole poster that no name matched the pictures but seeing this in a non-English country. It causes confusion.
I know I'm being harsh on people who are weaker than me in the English language but in this age of copy/paste. When everybody has access to mobile data, everybody has a mobile phone and computer. Seriously, you can't use spell checker, have you ever heard of a website called Google? Then they would say "oh, but I don't know how to write or convey my ideas in English". Bitch, Please! There's translator in every website now and in almost all language.
It is really quite sad to see the new generation of advertisers, public figures or even the direction veterans and seasoned professionals has taken. It's like dumb is in, it doesn't matter how hard you work and how much dedication you put into your profession. It's all about who is the dumbest because it is just what counts. It's a sad to think about it that these are the role models the new younger generation is aspiring to. Actually not just public figures, it is everywhere. Even in offices or any work there are those assholes who act as if they know a lot and disappear when they are required to work. Bluffs, bull shits and just plain incompetent. These are very discouraging to people who really work hard because these assholes always gets their way. The only reason I can think of why that is. It is because they work for an asshole as well.
Anyways I think we have left the fun insult territory. So lets call it a night before I become the bitch that I am LOL.
