Cool ads for a Brazilian gym, the copy says:
1) Give your slender body a chance to get rid of you
2) Find your slender body hidden somewhere in your scale
3) Get rid of your weight off your shoulders
I think it is about time to bring Flat Eric back. It's been too long since we first saw this awesome yellow character in Mr Oizo's music video to "Flat Beat" (see below). He did make a short reappearance in Levis commercials around 1999 (also below), but it's been quiet around him ever since. What happened?
No one rocks as hard and as steady for so long as Flat Eric and he could continue to be an inspiration for us all. So, PLEASE, someone, bring Flat Eric back. Maybe he could help us out with Global Warming and the war in Iraq, who knows? Anyways, this is for Flat Eric, enjoy!
Supermarket chain Tesco in the UK (voted us Britain's favourite supermarket in 2006, Best Online Retailer at the 2006 Grocer Gold awards) gave out little guides to their "older" employees in order to better understand and communicate with their "younger" colleagues and customers. The guide is being tried in 1500 stores nationwide and is an incentive from Tesco's PR department that, if it goes well, will be implemented in all stores.
It's a lesson for all of us, and key phrases in the guide include:
Bad: Good (but this can also mean bad. When in doubt, just nod).
How’s it hanging’?: How are you today?
Laters: Cheerio, goodbye.
Minging: Ugly, unattractive.
Phat: Wicked (in the good sense), cool.
Slammin’: Pleasing to the eye.
Talk to the hand: I’m not listening.
Wack: Weak, boring.
Cheerio!
