Hawaiian Surfer
Having dealt with the pesky issue of war Nobama issued an even-handed “restraint” statement then turned to the more pressing matter of his Hawaiian (Kailua) vacation.
“I’m going to get a plate lunch. I might go to Zippy’s. I might go to Rainbow Drive-In. I haven’t decided yet. I’m going to get some shave ice. I’m going to go body surfing at an undisclosed location…”
I know this is subjective, but his thing for old-school eats as a local grindz type guy looks bad and devoid of feeling for the Georgian situation. The Russians must have been inspired by that “body surfing” comment and ramped up their military offensive. With estimates of 2000 people killed and only 100,000 civilians fleeing their homes I guess they won’t be satisfied until Tskhinvali is in ruins or the oil market spikes (again!) as BP is shutting down the pipelines in the region.
Company Logo Smackdown
Meanwhile back here in the capital-focused world where it’s all about thinking up intriguing and fascinating ways to make money through brands we have a pointless and meaningless exercise to comprehend…sort of a WWE Tournament with logo’s.
Fortune Magazine conducted a logo competition among the most powerful Fortune 500 brands. Siegel+Gale identity experts Howard Belk and Sven Seger were called upon by Fortune to judge which of the many logos were deemed worthy of the #1 spot.
Harley beat out John Deere but lost the overall tournament. I call major foul!
It’s an upside down world as everyone knows there is only one corporate logo distinctive and cool enough to wear on your body and that would be Harley-Davidson.
Logos belong to their respective owners and used courtesy of Fortune magazine.
