Random Advertisement(Really Bad)

Okay. I was just going to upload a photo to PHOTOBUCKET. However, I absentmindedly entered in PHOTOBOOTH, and got this site: http://photobooth.com/PhotoBooth.com...20Gasking.html

So, what do you think of the image? I am going to photobucket now, so maybe I can upload it there and give u a gif in a minute.




Isn't sexy how she's going to get run over by a train in the Exxon Jacket?

Seriously wtf? It must've been some graphic-designers homework assignment to make that image as a fake Gasoline commercial or something.

Either this thread makes little sense, or those mushrooms I ordered with my pizza weren't the edible kind.

Edit: ^It looks like its mimicking trends in fashion magazines, but doing it wrong.

Yes, I wanted to see if anyone would notice, or care. All anyone wants to do is find a pun anyways. It's something to talk about. Thought I'd give it a try.

I wasn't making a pun though; I'm being serious - these *****es are two-a-penny in marketing. What the hell does a dumb slut have to do with photobooth? Doesn't tell me much about the product.

Oh look! It's the daily off-topic thoughts thread. You remember, that thread for people who are unable to keep largely irrevelant and unimportant things to themselves and just HAVE to share it? It keeps it all nice and contained. We have a few, actaully.

But the slut is tied to a railroad track and is going to be killed by the train. This is loosely tying into some kind of concept relating to gasoline or something? She reminds of the chick from the controversially sexist Checker's ads, which were animated.

Now, now, just because no one will tie you to train tracks and photograph your nude body there is not reason to be mean.

No, why must there be some relation between random elements in a photo?

Then it becomes absurdist, if there is no concept to purvey. It could just be putting forth a mood or milieu.Why not put a dinosaur in the background, or owls then? Change the feel?

Then it would be silly like those old-spice commercials. I know absurdist illustrators. They're annoying. That idealogy from photographers is less common, and usually less desirable, unless bat-**** insane will be fashionable soon. Generally images with unrelated content would not be considered sane or marketable.

What other photographs are in the portfolio? Women with a foot in a bear-trap with wolves encroaching at the boarders? She'll be wearing designer hiking-boots and outdoorsy-wear. Kate moss perhaps. The Moth Man will glare hypnotically from the top right of the image, for the sake of the composition.
