Comment on What’s bent? by snowflower

Here are the answers:
1. A - Bent image - a huge bee with swarming humans.
2. B - Straight image - just a picture of a car, with a headline that’s bent.
3. B - Straight image - just a plate of pasta, the headline is bent.
4. A - Bent image - a man trying to revive splattered groceries.
5. B - Bent headline - normally a motorcycle does NOT raise tank tops.
6. B or A - this one is difficult. Both are straight (image of nurse with needle, headline about a children’s 5K run) and play off of each other to be bent.
7. A - Bent image - the nail polish is disappearing as hit runs onto the ground.
8. A - Bent image - an architectural structure made out of books
9. B - Bent headline - the image is just a plain VW Van, the headline makes you think of it differently.
10. A - Bent image - pearls, that upon closer look, are bingo balls.
11. A - Bent image - an chalk outline of an ant - something that is usually not seen.
12. B - The headlines rule these ads - the image is completely straight.
13. A - This one is a bit tricky, and needs both to definitely make sense. The headline itself, “Bring out his Wild Side” is very straight, so I’m tempted to say that they image of a woman and lion in bed are bent.

@ Rashid - thanks so much for your participation! I think you mixed up the A’s and the B’s, because if you switch them around, you’re almost 100% right on. Let me know what you think!

Comment on Okay, okay… some are really bad. by snowflower

I agree this might be safer, unless, let’s say, you accidentally get something stuck and chopped off in the Bagel Guillotine. Safety is not the issue here, it’s functionality. Bagels are pretty easy to cut, don’t really need a gadget. That being said, glad someone from the Larien site decided to weigh in.

I’m not saying it’s USELESS and stupid, just saying that it’s not the smartest buy most people will make in a year. The Butler, though… I actually kind of like.

Thanks!

I feel you on this. I too am in the creative field and finding a job, let alone an interview, is damn impossible.

Bah… I hate interviews because you always have to lie. Every interview I have gone on prior to 2008 and have lied (even the slightest lie like “Yes, I love working with other people” or “I feel I have great customer service”) at I have gotten the job… every job interview I have gone to and told the truth about everything I was denied the job during the interview.

The last job interview I went on I showed up 4 hours early because I was unfamiliar with that part of the city and didn’t want to be even remotely late. I took my time at a nearby coffee house and went in about 20 minutes prior to the slated time. I met with my “interviewer” and was informed that the first meeting was not an interview but a test. If I passed the 1st test, I would then be allowed to take the 2nd test. If I passed that one I would be allowed an interview.

I took the first test, handed it in, and was told I had the best scores from the people they had tested and I “really knew [my] stuff.” I took the 2nd test and the interviewer was very impressed with my answers. I was told I would hear back in a week.

A week passed and I contacted him to ask how the search was going. He told me he’d write back later. I receive an email saying they went with someone else. I was livid. I didn’t get the fucking chance to show them my art, my resume, or my demo reel. I didn’t even get a step in the door after I “wowed” them with my tests. Bah…fuck it.

Livestrong has no idea as such - it’s just a yellow, rubber bracelet. The ingenuity seen here paired with the concept is bloody flawless.
Bravo.

First off, I have to confess to being a bit of a new media junkie, BUT the intimacy and individuality of this really moves me. It’s the right sort of thing to attach the technology to otherwise it’s just tech for tech’s sake if you know what I mean.
Wish I’d had this growing up…..

Maybe it’s because I’m an audio video tech nerd, but I think this is one of the coolest things I have seen in a LONG TIME. This is awesome. I’m so glad you brought this to my attention. I might be ordering something from here.

I saw the commercial as well and thought they had come up with a good idea and a relevant slogan that is definitely timely.

I bought the Mighty putty. While it seems great for sculpting and mask creation, I doubt it would hold anything that a truck can pull. I like the closet things, if the closet was big enough to accommodate the length.
