Just some quick snaps of some more or less funny stuff I’ve seen on my trip to B’ham:

Hazards

1.Choking Hazard- Actually bought these, they don’t fit me, ironically they’re too small, you might think they’d make the boxers that advertise male hugeness large but no. Actually it was the only size left (they were dirt cheap) which makes me think that either all the large ones had been bought by people who had the goods or that they make’em small on purpose.

Jaws is back

2. The loan shark. I find this actually offensive to sharks, besides, banks nowadays are just that, loan sharks, so I really fail to see what’s the warning about. Should read “No need to search for a loan shark to get screwed / We can help you get screwed just as well”.

Teh Minions

3. Jesus army. Such an unfortunate term combination when you think that Jesus had been crucified by roman soldiers. I think Jesus minions would be even better, also the slogan “People that love Jesus” is just wrong , it really doesn’t say anything about their intentions , if I recall right Jesus said to love thy neighbours and enemies. Saying you love Jesus doesn’t give me the confidence that you’re any better than say someone who loves pasta, Chuck Norris or Camus and it surely doesn’t portray any deep moral core either. Just stupid.

Here, here, the finest silk in Birmingham

4. On a lighter note: Fancy Silk. I thought silk was fancy by definition I mean I haven’t seen any construction workers wearing silk… Made me wonder  were the regular (or less fancy) silk store might be.

Trainspotting never gets old, no, wait, it does...

5. Another dumb ad. I mean really would you go to an insurance that insures people like Iggy Pop?? They surely count on you being to simple, drunk or stoned to understand their contract. These seem to be the kind of people with whom you should really read the fine print, you may never know where they squeezed a  “If you’re not Iggy Pop you don’t get jack” phrase in the contract. I’d go to somebody else for car insurance on that ad alone, Iggy Pop even.

Some childish humour as well

6. Humps. You either get this or you don’t actually it’s not even that funny.

They probably sold all the good spots on the Moon and Mars already

7. The bulgarian property consultants. Guess what, they were out of business which frankly doesn’t amaze me. What did amaze me though was their relative closeness to the city center. Must have missed the news announcing Bulgaria as the new Portugal or Spain.
