sunday pic’r sixer

i’d love to say i’ve always wanted to do this…

…but that would be bullshit.

honestly, i’ve never really thought about doing this – but over the last couple weeks i’d snapped a couple pics i was gonna put the whore and never worked ’em into bits – an felt they weren’t worthy of a bit on their own…but COMBINING them all i think they’ll make for a nice one. hence, a sunday sixer that’s all pics and screen shots and such – was gonna use some filler off the web, but my life provided six in the last week or so all on it’s own, save for…

1. N.W.G. – Nigaz With Gas

when i got my degree (in broadcast journalism) i took an advertising course, and they teach you about blunders that show people just didn’t “get it” when it came to marketing. like the multi-million dollar ad campaign an american ad agency did for coke in brazil in spanish – not knowing that brazilians speak portugese rather than spanish. this would be another such fuck up – marketing the hybrid name of gazprom (russian) and a nigerian petroleum company as “Nigaz” – ’cause that’s a term africans LOVE to hear, i’d figure. gives ’em a warm feeling…like the warmth you feel of a whip on skin, maybe?

(shit, i almost took that too far for me!)

2. if only they’d have had this at my last job…

anyone who’s ever done sales, or customer care, or tech support, or for that matter ever quoted randall from clerks in their head (“i’d love this job if it wasn’t for the fucking customers”) gets this one.

3. i thought it was “white men”….

…which makes this ALL the more ironic:

…’cause a white man drives this truck. in fact, it’s the white man that came in on his day off (saturday) to finish my car since it wasn’t done friday like i was promised. more on that later – but take THAT shit more to love!!! they may need lovin’, too, but apparently they need their own ride!

4. consider it beaten like a [insert derogatory minority term here] at a klan rally!

this would be another marketing blunder on behalf of eFax – sending this to me, a guy who’s been job searching for over six months. hard to burn out whatcha ain’t got, huh?

5. oh, let it go…

i took this picture on the same morning as the next one, on the back of a brand new dodge truck that despite being so new it still had paper dealer plates already had the above decal on the metal of the tailgate and a giant “U.S.M.C.” on the back. very cool with the one i DIDN’T take a pic of (the “U.S.M.C.” one), but the other makes me think…

a. this person REALLY likes ted turner – in which case the divorce was almost a decade ago. let it go.

b. this person REALLY hates exercise videos – in which case you’re probably fat. eat less…and let it go.

c. this person is a vietnam vet and holding on to the whole “hanoi jane” thing – in which case you’re pissed about a mistake somebody made that is SO old the mistake is legally of age to run for the presidency (thirty-five years for the office, thirty-seven since the life magazine pics that sparked all this) in which case she’s apologized, regrets her statements, and it was THIRTY-SEVEN FUCKING YEARS AGO.

so, let it go.

and finally…

6. seriously…what the fuck?

okay, so lied about not using internet filler…sorta. the pic that was SUPPOSED to appear above had to be nixed for taste reasons (believe it or not) so we get this – and seriously, how many times did the designer of this kids slide watch the wall and pop ‘shrooms to decide this was a cool idea? and how did it get all the way to actually being MADE? if this can happen, i know my ideas should REALLY be made into reality…now, excuse me while i kiss the sky!
