Heros?
In 2009's Quentin Tarantino "Inglorious bastards" there's a story about Fredrick Zoller, a Nazi sniper. Apparently he was so successful that they made a movie based on his "accomplishments".
In the movie the entire Nazi party, including Hitler himself celebrated the sniper's story by attending his movie premier.
Now, in 2014 America is celebrating its famous sniper in a movie which is "also" based on a true story (I am not compering the two characters). And it seems like the entire country is going to this premier.
So it got me thinking, haven't we learned anything? Is it important in this day and age to glorify violence, (just or not)? And what message are we sending our kids?

Count me in
It's been a while since I wrote anything here. Not that there wasn't anything to write about, I was just trying to give you all separation anxiety.
Well, to be honest I just didn't feel like it. But now I have a reason to write, I AM GOING TO THE CARNIVAL. Yes in Brazil!!! I've decided that it's about time I'll visit this part of the world while I am still young enough to enjoy the things that should be enjoyed there.
It's true that I usually write about advertising and design but let's say I am going to learn about south American design (carnival trucks) and advertising (women in thongs, because they do advertise something). I am sure I will come back with many new fresh ideas and some I may even post here but for now let's just count the days.
25 days and counting...
