Omens of the forthcoming apocalypse and other things...

[kittygoth]

I was at work the other week when I came across one of my co-workers on his laptop watching stuff on some youtube-type site (Kate, you can probably guess who this is).  He was watching an advert of a girl in a bikini eating a burger.  The burger was about as big as her head, and she was munching upon it quite lasciviously whilst making suggestive eyes at the camera.  I joked at the time that this must be his perfect erotic moment, what with his well-known love of all things meat.  And then I wandered away and pondered why it is that companies must resort to the lowest form of marketing to sell a product.  The same guy was also showing a student, a few weeks before,  a Japanese advertisement for some kind of chocolate snack which involved a tiny Japanese girl with grossly disproportionate breasts jumping up and down on a bed wearing only a bra.  Half way through the advert she "realises" what's happening, looks down at herself, shrugs, and carries on.  I also lamented the state of things with my male co-workers. The more time I spend working with these people, the more I grow to despise the male sex, or at least just the ones who end up in Japan.  And, I'm not the only one who thinks this, believe me.

This morning, I found this, which also supports what I've been thinking.  You may have noticed these adverts on LJ and wondered what the hell was going on.

Also, my friend Brooke and I have found evidence that the apocalypse is forthcoming, and that the omens are taking "musical" form.  I urge you to watch this twice, because it's even more hysteric-inducing the second time.   I refuse to embed on my journal, less people think I'm actually into "Crunkcore".  Please also pay attention to how often one of these "fucking hipsters" adjusts his hair during the "song".
