Exapolakatekls Stronghold of Evil

Some Sick Sh*t

2007-05-15T19:45:00.000+02:00

This thai student bakes bread resembling human body parts. Apparently it tastes just like normal bread, though it does look very realistic indeed. I wonder what kind of people would eat something like this. I find it disturbing...

Business Card Blasters

2007-05-15T19:40:00.000+02:00

If you´re trying to make that special impression on someone how about trying something creative as a business card? Check out this homepage which shows some examples of business cards that certainly will be remembered. I personally like the debt recovery agents x-ray of his last clients broken hand - it´s so sure to make an impression... :)

The definite gizmo for men´s households!

2007-04-29T14:53:00.000+02:00

This is a not a picture of some klingon disuptor or similar science-fiction weapon. It´s the newest handheld model of vacuum cleaner from Dyson, an electrical company dedicated to producing household applications that look like science fiction weapons. Their products are high quality with great suction, easy to handle and what´s more it´s so much more fun feeling like Luke Skywalker when doing household cleaning. It´s a real must-have-gizmo!:D

One more reason not to have pets...

2007-04-23T18:39:00.000+02:00

...is their sheer uncontrollable appetite for sex. I can´t think of any reason why I would wish a dim-witted hairy creature anywhere near me trying to f*** anything it can cling on to. Well, it seems that someone has actually developed a sex toy for dogs in an attempt to cater for those previously unfulfilled canine desires. It´s called "Hotdoll" and has all the openings, a nice and soft outside and even comes branded with female odour spray. Well I say underachivers! Don´t get rid of your dog´s problems, trash the whole witless critter! Oh, and I hope you enjoy cleaning that toy up afterwards!

Steaks and Blowjobs-Day

2007-04-22T12:40:00.000+02:00

This brand new festivity from the US called Steak-and-Blowjob-Day is meant as a counterpiece to the "hug-n-kiss"-valentines day the chocolate and gift-card industry invented. It´s celebrated on February the 14th and gives women the opportunity to display their love for their partner by giving him something he really wants, not that valentines day gift-card rubbish. The likewise counterpart for women is the cake-and-cunnilingus-day. That´s a lot of fun with celebrations if you ask me! :)
Anyway I think I´ll make up my own feast-day sometime, maybe I´ll name it "sex-and-beer-day". Until then I´ll just keep wasting time with this cute little online-stategy game and establish myself as "defender of the desktop". Now that´s some title...

Remote control for men

2007-04-04T19:23:00.000+02:00

The stud strap is the latest in sex-utility-innovations. It comes at 6,99 British Pounds and slips right around a man´s most vulernable body parts offering the woman (or man) control over his ejaculation. Now that´s modernization, I say! What gives me a bad feeling about this is the loss of spontaneity that goes with it and even more I don´t really feel comfortable with giving her that much power, just imagine what might happen if she pulls too hard, after all women don´t really have the best record in dealing with men´s genitals...
My suggestion is to just have Sex once and then again afterwards. That should prove an even better solution :)

Putting things into perspective

2007-04-04T11:59:00.000+02:00

This page puts things of all sorts on to one size scale. It´s really funny to see just how much smaller an amoeba in comparison to a T-Rex is or the milky way. There´s so much more to reality than we normally perceive from our perspective...

The emperor´s new clothes

2007-04-03T18:20:00.001+02:00

Check out this new gear collection. It flashes suits which make the wearer look pretty much naked from certain perspectives. It reminds me of that fairy tale the emperor´s new clothes because anybody actually buying and wearing this stuff must be in a likewise mental condition as that king...

Awww... give him another one with the taser!

2007-03-30T18:04:00.000+02:00

Police car chase driver John Spurnak (42) claimed that he was US vice president Dick Cheeney after having been pursued by police at speeds of 90mph, during which he hit a patrol car and eventually had to be shot with a taser. He also claimed he was Paris Hiltons sisters husband.
Well I say, I had so hoped ol´ Dick had gotten one with the taser... Well, maybe next time :)

The real Kwik-E-Mart

2007-03-30T16:39:00.000+02:00

Convenience store giant Seven Eleven announced plans to convert 11 stores across the US to resemble the well known Kwik-E-Mart from the cartoon series "The Simpsons".
Customers will be able to buy related products inspired by the cartoon, like Squishees and Crusty O´s. The move is to promote the upcoming cinema movie.
I´m looking forward to the chain to opening some stores in germany... :)

There´s only two kinds of money: yours & mine

2007-03-20T17:35:00.000+01:00

This is a quote from an interesting article I read in der Spiegel about this years budget of the european union, which is looking to reach the new record of 140 billion euros. Now what´s really sad about it isn´t the amount of money itself but that over 90% of it will - as usual- not be well accounted for. Dig this: for twelve years in a row the european court of auditors the institution monitoring the usage of the money has refused to refused its approval due to:

multiple booking of funds
false bills
obvious "irregularities" between agricultural subsidies and satellite pictures
as well as - you guessed it- criminal arrangements between authorities and fraudsters

It seems there´s quite a clean-up for Mrs. Merkel to do in her current leadership of the european union, after all: regardless of several uncovered scandals to date not a single EU-official has been fired. The worst they have to fear is a transfer to a different position, well that´s what I call incentive to plunder...

Anyway the funny part lies with another story of european parlaments use of tax-payers money. When not so long ago in the wake of the Asian Tsunami the european parlament was debatting on helping the affected countries one speaker after another stepped onto the podium demanding more and more millions for the region. It seemed that they were in some kind of euphoric race to demonstrate empathy by spendings billions of tax-payers money. However when one italian representative suggested to also donate the days attendance fees -the stately sum of 290 Euros which every representative receives additionally to their wages and allowances- tempers turned and became gloomy. The poor man was forced to resign his proposal albeit the parlament passed a bill for 1,5 billion euros of aid. It seems the italian representative was asking for too much.

As Milton Friedman would say: "There´s only two kinds of money - yours and mine". :)

Embarrassing ambassador

2007-03-17T23:10:00.000+01:00

"Israel has recalled its ambassador to El Salvador after he was found drunk and naked apart from bondage gear. Reports say he was able to identify himself to police only after a rubber ball had been removed from his mouth." Source: BBC. See this report in Haaretz for further details and reports on some other pretty "active" Israeli diplomats. Well I say, that´s quite a piece for taxpayers to swallow...

Abnormally amusing advertising

2007-03-17T18:45:00.000+01:00

Tokyo flashes some of the most creative and innovative forms of advertising. The public transportation systems are absolutely crammed with ads even on the smallest of surfaces as the elevator picture above clearly demonstrates. Check out this page about the top ten japanese ads. I just love that thought of someone running along your undergroundtrain in the tunnel...
Also please take a look on some of the new entries in this marketing blog I posted some months ago (or did I...). The pic with the giant lego accessory is from there! :)

See the 5545th star from bottom left corner? That´s where I come from!

2007-03-14T18:14:00.000+01:00

Wonderful pictures of our galaxy, check 'em out!

Really contemporary art

2007-03-14T17:56:00.000+01:00

Really elaborate chinese carvings in watermelons. It seems like they have too much time AND too many watermelons... Be quick to enjoy looking at it, by tomorrow it will no longer be a pretty sight to behold!

Instructive eye mask

2007-03-14T17:44:00.000+01:00

This onlineshop sells an eye mask that may prove handy for women that have partners that are very ugly and need clear written instructions. It also offers pillows and various other likewise utilities.

Stick returned

2007-03-06T22:31:00.000+01:00

Today I´d like to return the "stick" thrown to me by my good ol´ chump Theodor whom I enjoy bashing verbally now and then.
Some of the pecularities I pride myself of are:

I like Marmite (best pure from the spoon)
I like Brown Sauce (HP´s is best) and Vinegar on my Freedom fries
I´m a german social AND economic liberal (usually germans choose only one, too much freedom seems to confuse them)
That should be about enough sticky sticky for poor Theodor

Thank you and good night :)

Stuka-Tabs

2007-02-13T13:37:00.000+01:00

Originally invented in Japan the drug Methamphetamine, more commonly known as "meth" is currently on a rampage in the US. It found widescale use in the german Wehrmacht during WWII as an additional ingredient (Pervitin) in the popular "Fliegerschokolode" or as pills (Stuka-Tabs/ Hermann Göring-Pillen) and even Adolf Hitler is supposed to have used it as a therapy to his deppression. Some sources state mild versions of these drugs are currently in use in Iraq.
The drug has some nasty side-effects though, corroding teeth, destroying your skin and even worse your mind. As you probably guessed it´s also highly addictive.
The following link shows the faces of meth users as accounted by police fotos. Just in case you thought those cute little mice were somehow in support of drugs...

(For german readers view this article, subtopic "Leistungsmedizin" for some background info)

Ever wonder what drugs do to your brain? Why not try it out on some (virtual) labmice... :)

Model Porn

2007-02-07T01:27:00.000+01:00

Model trains used to be boring, a thing for nerds without a life. Now it´s also something for peeping-toms! Check out this brand new gear for your model dioramas. Brothels, hookers and people having sex fully supplied with electrical motors to keep up the motion. Beautiful and in line with current trends in society but I fear it´s still no adequate substitute for a REAL life!
To be fair, most of miniature company Preisers product portfolio (check out the "japanese people"- they seem to think japanese are neon yellow in skin colour) still consists of military models, so this may be a sign for the better... make love not war, people!

UK survey: 100% of Brits gay?

2007-02-06T10:40:00.000+01:00

This recent survey in UK claims that 0% of men would rather give up sex than their mobile phone for a month. Incredible to men of different nationality (or at least me), but maybe it has something to do with the 42,5% of british women that would answer their phone during sex. Or it´s either because they´re brits or because the study was conducted by a mobile phone retailer...

Bam! There goes the office fax machine!

2007-01-20T11:36:00.000+01:00

This lovely little curiosity here is an USB-Rocket launcher. Simply plug it in, install the software and start shooting at you office colleagues! It´s sure to make an impression.
Please check out the other playthings on the page, like inflateable boxing gloves, the orgasmatron and the like. Very nice as presents or for resolving office disputes...

Cool bus ads

2006-12-11T22:35:00.000+01:00

Check out these cool ads on buses. Some of them look like they may cause accidents though...

Google Earth Peeping Toms

2006-12-11T22:19:00.000+01:00

... find some good stuff on this page here. It covers some ten "naked people" pinkish spots on Google Earths maps. Somebody must have spent a lot of time searching...

Ted sayz...

2006-11-12T12:27:00.000+01:00

People you have to take a look at this! I love it, it´s called Technology Entertainment Design, short TED and features some clever holding lectures on topics you may not yet have heard so much about, like the income structur of drug gangs from an economists point of view, how to prolong your life so much that basicly you´ll live forever and of course Bono talking about Africa. (Geez he´s EVERYWHERE!)

I´m not claiming it´s educational but it sure is entertaining and beats looking at some badly painted wooden planks of a caravan that you photographed looking for magic mushrooms... :)

Boom - there go Sonys profits!

2006-11-09T00:48:00.000+01:00

I feel kind of sorry for them that this battery-blow-up happened at the Tokyo Game Show last month with the product scheduled for launch in Japan and America on Nov. 17.
Naw, not really I don´t, they should´ve sorted that out by now.

Peter, stop eating the carpet!

2006-11-09T00:22:00.000+01:00

Meat lovers behold! We now pack a full range of meat carpets, meat cushions and meat friends for you. Now that´s a lot of meat folks.
By the way, apparently it seems the often quoted "protein shock" is nothin more than a myth. The only time you can have a shock from eating too much protein is if you´re alergic. So tuck into carpet boys! :)

Sexmachine

2006-10-06T19:27:00.000+02:00

From now on women will leave their jobs in the office and elsewhere to get back to washing laundry and... washing laundry.
Check out the other great artwork of Dominic Wilcox. I especially like "the bed" and "the switch", though im not cool with exchanging my regular bed for it.

Yucky Yuck!

2006-10-06T19:12:00.000+02:00

Aww, come on everybody - let´s go to ROACH WORLD!!! The home of the popular god-knows-where-you-know-hom-from character Ralph Roach and his friend Wendell Worm.
It may be somewhat sticky, slimy and plain yucky, but it´s still not half as bad as abortioned baby-sicko-pictures world... (caution, contains disturbing pictures).

5,000 Years of bloodshed in 90 Seconds

2006-10-05T17:20:00.000+02:00

Sometimes I get the impression that history lessons could be summarized more in brief. Even very complex issues like 5,000 Years of bloody middle east history can be explained in just 90 seconds. Kind of me makes you think on what you wasted all the time in history lessons on...
Also please take notice of how Assi Toni proves himself as a teacher for lessons drawn from life (german speakers only, sorry).
Any intelligent life on this planet?

Did he really...?!?

2006-10-02T20:24:00.000+02:00

I found this page searching for the infamous japanese "natto", a rare arguable delicacy often used to mock europeans as the taste requires some getting used to... Why can´t japanese people simply eat corn flakes for breakfast?!?
Anyway, this guy Steve blogs about his experience eating various "delicacies" from around the world. Some crazy sh*t you´ve got to see!
The pic on the left shows a korean specialty, see if you can guess what it is. My hint for you: think silk ;)

Picture the wall

2006-10-02T19:09:00.000+02:00

Recently stumbled across this page, containing pictures of various walls across the world. I like the reckless attitude presented by some of them. The internet really has a way with making uninteresting things worthwhile...and somewhat artistic.

Beer Bot 2

2006-10-02T18:56:00.000+02:00

Remember the Asahi Beer Bot I posted about some time ago? Finally a video on Youtube that shows him in action. He´s beautiful, crazy and absolutely useless. He takes ages to pour a glass and still spills most of it...

Justice

2006-09-25T22:50:00.000+02:00

Indian village elders ordered a trial by throwing a ring into boiling oil and ordering the 150 men of the village to get it out with their bare hands! The ones who refused were considered guilty and punished. Well I guess India still has a long way to come...

An attempt to blend in with the locals gone wrong...

Mr. President your mic is still on...

2006-07-28T17:17:00.000+02:00

"Just tell 'em to stop that shit!" Gosh, he´s even worse when he´s not feeling watched...

Please also take notice of the report about Roger Shimomura. In his artwork he depicts a side of word war two largely unknown to the public: the american concentration camps for americans of japanese descend and the racism they had to endure.

Fresh, Sexy n Porky

2006-07-27T16:46:00.000+02:00

Check out this cool new russian PDF-magazine! It contains some graphic pics that are very humorous and fun to look at. They should cooperate with Ikea and make it available for everybody to hang up in their livingrooms. The picture on the lower right stands as a methapor for a lot of relationships. Contemplating it is like sitting in the audience of a horror movie, feeling the pressing need to shout directions to the actors...

Also humorous in a sense is this webpage flashing erotic photography. If you thought that the US only had bible groups and the like to offer, think again... And to think I didn´t event know the US had a swinger club, yet alone that "Swingstock"-thingy! Well no wonder, the "groper in command" must have set new moral standards in no time at all... ;)

Notice your nuts boys!

Surely one more step on the way to a better world...

Nudist trampolining

2006-07-15T12:16:00.000+02:00

One thing I´m sure you´ve all been waiting for: a nudist trampoling game promoting some sort of comedy film...
What kind of devious mockery is this?!

How to look naked...

2006-07-05T18:35:00.000+02:00

Channel Four has started a new TV-Series under the misleading name "How to look good naked". I do have to dissapoint you: actually it´s less about being naked, than getting dressed up properly. Fashion stylist Gok Wan advises women dissatisfied with their body how to dress up and -testing!- he also tries to convince her, that she looks good naked. Seeing the pic on the right you can guess he´s having a hard time.
I think he should consider a new style himself, he does look rather feminine...
Now this is some new idea. People really seem to be needing this. The funny thing about it is that first media take away your self confidence by selling an exaggerated and completely artificial beauty ideal to you and then tries to give it back to you afterwards, selling once again. Sounds like a win-lose-situation to me...

Let´s keep dreaming of that better world...

2006-06-26T21:04:00.000+02:00

...at least that´s what some people want us to do in order to boost the sales of their pulp magazines. Question is if the "women lane" is more or less safe than the other lanes...?! ;)

Seems to me that everbody that tries to come up with some version or idea of a world better than the current one has something very evil and selfish in mind...
No surprises however, we´ve seen the like. Watch your backs blogfans! Think I´ll rather stick with those kittens...

Hateable Kittens

2006-06-26T20:55:00.000+02:00

There really are good reasons to hate kittens. They kinda remind me of someone I think I´ve seen before...
Personally I prefer dogs seeing they are faithful, submissive and far more useful than cats. Now those arguments you just can´t beat!

Honey, let me do the housework today, pleeease!

2006-06-16T18:09:00.000+02:00

I never knew doing housework could be so much fun... :)

In Thailand they may cut off your d*** if you take too much time on the toilet

2006-06-15T17:50:00.000+02:00

After going to the office to try out the new beer dispenser, which every office quite clearly needs, you shouldn´t go to a thai toilet.
Thai toilets can be emotionally disruptive, as these pictures demonstrate. What the signs read I have no clue whatsoever, but the message of the pictures seems to be quite clear...

If you like this you think dirty

2006-06-09T14:19:00.000+02:00

Here goes, seeing I feel kinda obliged to post at least once per week I want to draw your attention to this beautiful site though I really ought to be spending more time on my final thesis...

The page contains all sorts of hillarious ads. These two pics are among my favourites. They exert a strong influence on me. I feel like I need to get a new mattress...

This other page really convinced me that I need to go to Paris more often. You bet I´m loving it!

Please stare at my tits!

2006-06-01T09:43:00.000+02:00

Do you feel like men don´t pay enough attention to your wonderful boobs? Now here´s your chance to get those ignorant swines to give your best parts the sort of advertency they truely deserve: Body Perks!

It´s the crazy new hype coming from america, that get´s you the sort of attention you´ve always been craving for.
These plastic beauties are made of body-colored silicone and are simply fitted over your real nipples. For the best effect you´re supposed toe wear a tight and light t-shirt. Men (and women) won´t be able to resist staring at your beautiful tits, at least that´s what the producer claims.

Now ladies, albeit I´m a true lover of innovation, I must say that I strongly object this sort of delusive marketing. Please keep in mind that many guys (me for one) would be very dissapointed upon unwrapping...

Neck-Stretchin' Beauty Products

Well, there´s help in sight. Here´s a score of revolutionary solutions for all your beauty problems. They´ve got one for every little one of them.
Those Japanese sure know how to get rid of the ugliness... :)

Unintended Reactions

2006-05-24T12:42:00.000+02:00

This is about the strongest pornolization of an ad that I´ve seen so far. And of course I love it!
It contains some pretty strong.... uhm, well, you´ll see.
The problem with this kind of advertisement is: what the hell did they actually want to sell? I´cant recall... ;)
Oh, by the way, they have a female-female and male-male version too...

Wanton Webart

2006-05-23T17:18:00.000+02:00

For some really crazy and beautiful artwork you should visit gild, the independent curating company. I like the babysuit on the right hand side. Hmm... wonder how I'm gonna get all the babies for my king size version, I´ll look truely evil with that!

Also interesting but with very different content is this page with nice underwater pics.
Very aesthetic, I like the idea with the black water.

Unignorable way of getting attention

2006-05-23T16:04:00.000+02:00

Didn´t you always phantasize about women really kicking your butt? Well you´ll have to wait no longer. These cute little ladies really have a way with getting themselves some attention.

But seriously, who would actually pay for this kind of treatment?

Kawaii Sushi

Cute bento (japanese lunchboxes), it´s almost a shame to eat it! :)

Asahi Beerbot

2006-05-21T16:01:00.000+02:00

Bow down and behold in awe the future of beer drinking: Asahi Breweries incredible Beerbot. It chills and opens up to six cans of beer for its too-lazy-to-open-a-can-of-beer-good-for-nothing owner. The beerbot is part of a promotion scheme, giving the contestants the chance of winning one out of 5.000 of these fully-stocked beauties if they collect 36 seals found on specially marked Asahi beers. As it seems they are not working on a robot, that also drinks the beer, so part of the work still has to be done by the owner himself. By the way I really love Asahis slogan "Creating new levels of satisfaction"... ;)

The japanese really are crazy about their robots, check out this page, to see some other weird inventions, including a snake like robot who's only purpose is to scare the shits out of little kids.
Now thats what I call putting a lot of effort into a practical joke...funny sort of humor too!

Fuckerware Party

2006-05-20T17:13:00.000+02:00

Everybody knows tupperware parties, the unique and extremely successful marketing scheme employed by Tupperware Brands Corporation for their megaselling kitchen products brand Tupperware.

Now an exciting new trend from switzerland is in town; the same marketing concept is being employed to something totally different, namely sex toys for women!

It´s called Fuckerware Party and has mainly female fans.
Think that sounds like a good idea? You´re not the only one: sex shop owner and party hostess MarenG has a growing number of satisfied customers from all over the country.
So next time you want to prevent your party from becoming a bore you know who to call... ;)

Pimpin' ain't easy

2006-05-19T19:44:00.000+02:00

Everbody loves Xzibits great show "Pimp my ride". But there´s a lot more things a real hustler can pimp than his car:

a hustlers phone
a hustlers mazda (doesn´t count as a real car)
a hustlers dumptruck
a hustlers limo
a hustlers cup
a hustlers shopping cart
a hustlers outfit
a hustlers bit... bride
a hustler bike
a hustlers snack
a hustlers grandmother
a hustlers gimp
and maybe best of all a hustlers name

If you really want to start off as a pimp it may also prove helpful to read the problem-oriented guide by the U.S. Department of Justice.
So long homies, yours sincerely Mack Master Stark Slither

Now tatooes really are THE thing to get this summer. If you don´t have one already, you may wish to check out this page for some inspirations.
There really are some unique artworks showing people, food, objects and even dragons you won't believe until you see.
I truely must say I am flabbergasted.

Preposterous Petronomics

2006-05-17T19:05:00.000+02:00

Bolivias strong man of the day Evo Morales seems to be the left-wings new idol. On may 1st, 2006 he signed a decree nationalizing all natural gas reserves.

Now as everybody knows, there is a long history of nationalizing ressources. The lovely thing for politicians about nationalizing a countries reserves of gas, oil or whatever is that foreign - in this case brazilian- multis have already invested in the infrastructure and a stable and reliable market exists. You only need to harvest other people´s work and spend the money. In addition it is also very popular with the broad public, seeing noone really likes multis anyway. This makes it a very attractive way for governments to raise funding for their spending. Talks about a reselling of the nationalized companies to the french multinational Total are already on the way, which in my eyes perverts the original argument for the nationaliziation which was to stop the plundering by foreign companies.

One of the more famous "presidents" nationalizing national ressources is Saddam Hussein. He used the petrodollars to finance his gargantuan bureucracy, manifold wars and massive army. Oh, and indeed, he used it also to finance additional social services, making him very popular. The same goes for Simbabwian "Prime Minister" Mr. Robert Mugabe, who disposessed white farmers, bringing his own people close to starvation as agricultural production collapsed. Mugabes argument was, that the land originally belonged to the black people, and whites can´t rightfully possess it, which is ridiculous because the white settlers have lived there for generations. Just imagine what would happen if it was attempted to correct every "unlawful" possession of land that ever happened, where would you stop going back in time to find the "lawful" owners? In the stone age? Would you evict the people currently known as Americans and give the land back to the indians?

Bolivia as a state is not exactly renowned for incorruptable civil servants. A 2005 Transparancy international survey shows that more than 50% of the bolivians feel that corruption has increased a lot since 2004. The country sports one of the most corrupt systems in the world. Assuming that Mr. Morales will hardly be able to run the whole state by himself, you can be sure that these are the sort of people that get the major share of the petrodollars now. Please don´t forget; the Bolivian government was already getting a share of the gas profits through the taxes they were imposing. I guess they never get enough.

The move has already inspired imitators; Ecuador is nationalizing US Oil-Corporation Occidental. Personally I don´t see how the one group of profit oriented people like south-american politicians is better suited to run a gas corporation than another, no matter how popular and charismatic single men of the group may be.

Besides I just don´t get it; these people are seriously deterring foreign investors by disrespecting property rights. They are damaging their own economy in a way that will last for centuries to come. Alas, I consider seizing private property to resell it about as morally correct as any other form of theft.

Putting on weight

Christina Aguilera does look a bit chubby recently, doesn´t she? Maybe she should go a bit easier on fast food. Anyway she always did seem a bit skinny to me so it may well be considered a change for the better.
For other great Adobe Photoshop works check out this page. There´s a lot of really hilarious pics and great artwork, hands down!

Catchy advertising

2006-05-12T15:08:00.000+02:00

This is the ad for a surgeon devised by creative studio DDB Canada. Don´t get this wrong, I´m not promoting plastic surgery, quite the opposite actually, but these guys have a pretty impressive Homepage and creative portfolio that´s worth checking out for the laugh of it. These pesky little men in funny suits are cool, but I favor the milk ad, maybe that´s because it designed to target kids... :)

Often marketing campaigns aim at male customers by using breasts, tits and boobs. There really is no need for such, as this south-african ad shows. Now I must say, that at first I felt a little bit offended by the guerilla marketing campaign in the left hand side picture, that´s currently being employed in internet cafes.

But then I found this campaign by a german sex shop, that targets female customers and now I know it could´ve come a lot worse.

The company purports that its campaign bases on the result of a comprehensive survey on female sexual needs and desires. It utilizes themes from the upcoming world soccer championship in germany, claiming that it reflects how women think and feel in terms of sex.

Well, maybe they need to get a new market researcher. I´m really not so confident that women want a dildo with "Oli K." written on it. But then again women do think a lot different than men and maybe those football-shaped orgams balls will do the trick... ;)

Anyway, advertising says a lot about what marketing CEOs think about their customers, which kinda makes me wonder...

Have you read the news today?

Damn those martians...!!!

San Precario - The Saint of the Modern Precariat

2006-05-09T12:59:00.000+02:00

San Precario is a new saint created by an activist group called Chainworkers lobbying against precarity.
Basicly these people are attempting to connect their "precarious" existence as short-contract, project-based workers of the creative community to other "precarious" workers such as migrants, retail workers and asylum seekers, for example.
Their homepage is quite flashy and I do feel a little exploited myself I must say though there's noone in specific to point the finger at. Maybe I should just join in line and blame rich people, the United States and Neocapitalism in general. Or wait, maybe I´ll just think again... ;)

Apologetic Labeling

Apology accepted, we didn´t vote for him either.

Dis the cons - participate in the Masturbate-a-thon?

2006-05-08T12:55:00.000+02:00

Devised as an outpost against the sexual conservatism of the american neo-cons, the annually held Masturbate-a-thon of San Francisco flashes a lot of people peacefully coming together to celebrate and well, you guessed...

The event is hosted by Good Vibrations, a sex shop owned by women, that wants to promote masturbation by ridding people of feelings of guilt. What better way to do so than hold an event that sports thousands of people from all over the world masturbating at the event and over livecam!

Participants need to provide a sponsor that pays for every minute of masturbation (single person record is at six and a half hours!). Winner is the one that masturbates the longest, but there´s also a runner´s up price for the one with the most orgasms. Oh, and by the way the money goes to charity as usual.

The rules are rather peculiar as you probably guessed...

Genitals must be showing
No touching other participants
Participants may continuously stimulate any part of their body as long as they are demonstrating true arousal to such stimulation
No drugs or alcohol. No smoking. (Aaawww, come on!)
NO FAKING ORGASM. Do not waste our time. If you have an orgasm we are happy for you but this is not our goal. The first detected faked orgasm shall be reason for a 15-minute penalty against accumulated time.The second detected fake orgasm shall be a thirty minute fine against accumulated time and the third will disqualify the offender from further competition at that event

The event is part of the "National masturbation month" that was introduced in 1995 as a reaction to the firing of Clinton administrations Surgeon-General Dr. Joycelyn Elders. She was sacked for her statement that masturbation "... is part of human sexuality, and perhaps it should be taught [to prevent the spread of AIDS]".

Now what beats me is: how do they differentiate between real and fake orgasms?!

On the importance of penile length and girth

2006-05-06T17:11:00.000+02:00

Just recently I came upon a study by Stulhofer (1999) in which he examines the importance of penis length and girth for women, interviewing 556 women between 19-49 years.
Findings show that -as expected- girth is considered more important than length and this effect increases with sexual experience (operationalized by the number sexpartners). Also 71.8% of women stated that the "esthetic quality" of their partner´s penis is somewhat to very important.

Unfortunately as Stulhofer points out "... the questions did not allow [him] to distinguish between the claims that relate penis size to pleasure and those who relate it primarily to discomfort or pain..."

It seems there is still a lot of research work to do...

Beam me up before the debt-collector gets me, Scotty!

Tony Alleyne from Hinckley, UK, transformed his apartment into Star Trek Voyager. His flat features moulded walls, touch-panel blue lightning, a command console and even a life-sized model of the shows tranporter room. Apparently he accumulated a respectable sum of 100.000 Pound in debt, wasting 14 credit cards. Also his wife left him when he replaced the refrigerator with a "warp coil".

Tony´s states that

"... I got hooked up with marketing and merchandise
people here and in America and it all got out of hand...".

Well you wouldn´t have guessed...

Traditional trends in interior design

Sedlec Ossuary is a Christian chapel, located beneath the Cemetery Church of All Saints in Sedlec, a suburb of Kutná Hora in the Czech Republic. It was built around 1400 AD.

Now dig this: "...the ossuary contains approximately 40,000 human skeletons which have been artistically arranged to form decorations and furnishings for the chapel..."!

Obviously they had so many corpes when the black plague came that due to lack of burial ground they decided to do something "useful" with them. A similar ossuary chapel is Santa Maria della Concezione dei Cappuccini in Rome.

These people really freak me out, I can tell you...

Welcome!

2006-05-05T18:10:00.000+02:00

Hi everybody,

welcome to my blog! Seeing everybody seems to have one nowadays I decided not to miss out and start my own.

Hope you enjoy it! :)
