This made me laugh so much, and also doesn't this little word being crossed out by another tube commuter possibly youngish, shows a whole new dimension of things? I particularly the modern-mispelled looking way of spelling Mik. It's just fantastic. Doesn't it look odd if Jesus was replaced by "Mik, the bloke down the road who goes out with Sharon, said I am the Way, the truth and the Life. No man comes to the Father unless he comes through me..." Isn't it a bit patronising, or presumptuous? And for that religious group to spread the word of "someone holy" like that is definitely not a good catch as far as I am concerned. I find it most peculiar. The name of the website is also rather off putting.
I was so taken by this modified advert (rare these days; where are all the people with their wide pens?) that I went off my way, waiting patiently and not very discretely for the people who were sitting underneath to get off, so I could photograph it quietly, without making them think I was after them! And of course, they got off ages after I was supposed to get off. A precious day! By the way, for all the religious freaks out there, I didnt know that when we made the "holy communion" (ie, sex) with our lover who should be husband at least, we were supposed to be 3 and invite the holy spirit with us! Bloody hell, I don't want a third person watching all the time! Holy spirit, you stay where you are! Up, up in the skies... I will do my communion selfishly![Note: this is NOT photoshopped. You can tell with the pen tone on the Mik. Well, I can. I am not that clever with photoshop!]

I thought of Robert as I saw that; and even though this is about this recruitment agency who does secretarial and clerical work (I thought clerical was to do with the Church?) well, I just loved this advert. Woudln't it be nice if we all looked forward to working and the week end was a bore because we loved our jobs so much? I doubt this agency can provide that kind of work though. Maybe the "Oh damn, it is the week end, I have no biscuits nor coffee at home, may monday come back soon"

It was the elections in England yesterday, and I was able to witness several adverts put up all over the place by the council. I particularly liked that one, because there are many mice in the underground, running along the platforms, and this is posted on the wall opposite where the train comes... There was also this advert I really liked, whilst waiting nervously at Kings Cross station eating a fatty pasty, a big tv screen with "BBC latest news" or whatever. And the same Council-election people put adverts, there was that one with "don't get distracted and forget about the elections" and it had a little white dog running after its tail in circles, in a darkish poor looking room. I thought watching such dog was so entertaining, that surely the owners wouldn't want to leave the show to go voting!

THis is the advert for some film I probably won't go and see, since I don't "do" films or tv stuff (except LIttle Britain and cartoons on Youtube) but the facial expression of the bloke really stroke me. I kept looking at it, and eventually had to take a photo. It is disturbing. Those kinds of expressions are widely used by women models in photography, particularly when they are trying to look attractive and glamourous, not very dressed, or "hot". It is a known trick in men's magazines (posh ones) to look "desirable". So yeah, I was observing it on this man, it is obviously done on purpose, but I think it looks mainly dim and unattractive on a bloke. He is probably supposed to look sultry and Dangerouse, women magnet character ( I won't know since I wont see the film).
This expression, on women, as well as being object like, does give out a certain power, and a certain message of "You can't have me" since it is what glamour is about, you can't have them but you can dream and wank about them forever. In the case of the man, it just portrays some sort of lack of manliness! Someone who would try to appear slightly porn star like and in fact looks very silly! Not arousing at all. It reminds me of teenage boys who keep opening their mouths all the time and have their jaws hanging! With this strange teenage expression which betrays their age!

The full poster. I don't think I will go and see that film at all. Even if someone pays me. The worst thing would be if that film was actually really good. But how can it? With such weird poster!
Rant rant rant.
I can judge all I want, I won't know till someone has paid me to go and watch that film.
I don't even know the name of it, it was carefully cropped!

Which I didn't want to post. But why not, since it shakes that mind of its comfortable bite.

Great set - fun and interesting! Love the bit about clerical!
Funny. BTW The man in the last poster is Russell Brand a comedian and the film is supposed to be funny so I think he was taking the p' out of himself probably.
