Making an Idiot Out of Yourself Can Change Your Life

I'm at a loss here.  This woman has a shoe that can change her life and what does she do?  She puts the shoe on her head, shrugs and makes a face like Renee Zellweger hearing voices.  Is this a life-changing event?

Protest at the Consolidated Plastics Catalog Shoot

The bottles in the back seem kinda proud to be on the cover.  The pill vial is feeling a little uncomfortable, but the baggie has the biggest problems.  Looks like the photographer had his hands full on this shoot.  I bet the next thing job he photographed was anything but plastic bottles.  He'd be glad to shoot cranky Eurotrash models rather than these prima donnas.

You're LOST Without The Salad Guide

Who ya gonna buy salad from?  Somebody who just throws it in a bag and calls it "romaine" or somebody who throws it in a bag, calls it "romaine" and gives you the definitive guide to salad by criteria of taste and texture.

I rest my case.

The Website Is Like Paper Which Is Like a Leaf Which is Like a Sticker

This little "green" notice may have gone unnoticed.  Were it not for the curator of the Museum, who deconstructs it for us.  Think about it for a moment.

Save paper...be green...like a leaf...which you are not...but it signifies that...sort of.

If You Like Hip-Hop, You're Gonna LOVE This KitchenAid Appliance!

The ad-bots or whatever algorithm programmed to serve up ads on this fan page for Drizzy Drake were reaching a little far here.  I can only guess if they figured "mixtape" why not "KitchenAid Mixer?!"

Then again, DJs love to mix their sound into a heady brew, sprinkled with beats that vacuum up the fans....

We Saved Water! And Destroyed Everything Else!

In a fancy bathroom, here's a super-cool, brushed steel, ultra-modern automatic flushing urinal panel with a tiny little message on a sticker in the bottom left.

That 3' x 3' heavy steel panel took a lotta carbon and iron, natural resources up the wazoo.  But hey you're saving water, so what the hell!

Why Maki? Because We Said Maki!

This was literally on the opening day of this brand spanking new sushi joint...and the "M" is missing off their walls!  Not a good start, not a good start at all.
