Advertising is a monkey smiling at us

During the last days I discovered a fascinating advertising campaign on youtube. CareerBuilder seems to understand my daily grind in Jena ;-)

As a student of Communication Research I’m totally interested in advertising. Even in the hard times of studying in the end of this semester (5 exams in two weeks + a “mini” thesis) there’s still some time left for applied research:

The title of this entry goes back to Oliviero Toscani’s great book “Advertising is a carrion smiling at us”, which is unfortunately not available in English. To be true, I’m really wondering why.

Addition: one to bind them all (one video with  all ads)…here

Now back studying….

Having a boring lecture at university, I recognized that Indrė’s (Bass) band (SheeZzanova) has a professional live performance video on youtube. Unfortunately, I haven’t had the chance to see them live yet…

World Press Photo Awards for this year…

Just a few weeks ago, we had the ability to watch an exhibition in Jena of photos that were chosen to win the “World Press Photo Award” last year.

Reading Spiegel-Online, I just discovered that the winners of this year were nominated…fascinating shots!
