Truck Ads

These pictures of truck advertisements were submitted to the 2005 Rhino Rolling Advertising Award in Germany.
You can find these and more at their website, but good luck navigating cause its all in German.

Which do you think got first place? Comment with your opinion.
BUT… some of these pictures were disqualified for being photoshopped, can you guess which ones they are?

THANK YOU TO SHREYA for the idea of this post, and access to several photos.

Illusion of a train car inside.

PEPSI! vs….

COKE!  which do you choose?

YUMM, strawberry yogurt.. my favorite flavor.

Canvas tote bag.

Truck with the windshield and a driver painted onto the back to give the illusion that the guy is driving backwards.

Those are some BIG books.

Pringles “Hot & Spicy” ad makes it seem like the inside of the truck went through a fire.

What’s better than a hammock and a kit kat bar?

 

My Heart Will Go On

The video framing is absolutely terrible, but the music makes it worth it.
My Heart Will Go On on the ukulele; insanely good.

I have updated the Erik Johansson photo manipulation post, so be sure to check it out, his work is absolutely amazing. =]

Photo Manipulations

Erik Johansson is absolutely incredible. Thats it.
He’s a Swedish photographer and photo manipulator, and he has both captured and edited all the pictures below.

 I chose my favorites to post (which was insanely difficult), but you can find these pictures and more at his website, www.alltelleringet.com.

Or, if you prefer to laugh at me instead of yourself, here you go.

Crazy Laws

Here are some laws you probably never knew existed..

In Michigan adultery is technically illegal, and sexist.

“Punishment—Any person who shall commit adultery shall be guilty of a felony; and when the crime is committed between a married woman and a man who is unmarried, the man shall be guilty of adultery, and liable to the same punishment.”

New Jersey law requires that when you pass a car on the road, you have to “audibly” notify the person(s) in that car. So feel free to yell or curse. However, this is only true for vehicles headed in the same direction.

“The driver of an overtaking motor vehicle not within a business or residence district shall give audible warning with his horn or other warning device before passing or attempting to pass a vehicle proceeding in the same direction.”

In California, bath houses are illegal.

“Every building or place used as a bathhouse which as a primary activity encourages or permits conduct that according to the guidelines of the federal Centers for Disease Control can transmit AIDS, … is a nuisance which shall be enjoined, abated, and prevented, and for which damages may be recovered, whether it is a public or private nuisance.”

“For purposes of this subdivision, a “bathhouse” means a business which, as its primary purpose, provides facilities for a spa, whirlpool, communal bath, sauna, steam bath, mineral bath, mud bath, or facilities for swimming.”

In California, it is also illegal to toss your cigarette into a sandbox.

“It shall be unlawful for any person to dispose of cigarette butts, cigar butts, or any other tobacco-related waste within a playground or tot lot sandbox area.”

Pinball machines are also outlawed.

“Pin game” means any table, cabinet or mechanism equipped for the playing of any game whereby any marble, ball, pellet, or other moving object is propelled, released, rolled or shot along, over or above a surface set with pins, pegs or other obstructions or irregularities which deflect or impede the course of the moving object or which may divert or direct it beyond the control of the player.

A. No person shall use, keep, operate, maintain, place, or possess any of the following:1. Any pin game, any marble game or any game similar to a marble game, or any horse race machine the operation of which game or machine is controlled, permitted or made a variable by placing therein a coin, plug, disk, key, or token or which is let for use, operation or play upon the payment or delivery of anything of value therefor, or upon the making of any purchase.

 

 

So, how many laws have you broken lately?
