Ads that I like #41

Continuing with the alcohol, tobacco (and other drug) theme that is the background to my week , I have gone with an ad that I admire very much aesthetically. Although I do find the image itself mildly amusing, it is not a ‘funny ad’ per se . What I love most about this advertisement is the overall design and symmetry of it. The colours, the lines and even the typeface all work so well together. It does hark back to a time when poster ads like this one were well and truly ‘art’. Now, I think that it is advertising a brand or beer, but I am not 100 percent certain. Perhaps a reader may know more? [As an aside, is it just me or does this bloke resemble an older, more laid back Australian PM Kevin Rudd ?]

Food that is dying to be eaten

I came across this photograph of a sign while browsing through teh Internets today. I do love an image that can be terribly grusome, yet rather cute at the same time. It reminds me of an image in one of my all-time favourite ads that has been previously featured on this site. Regular commentator and all round good guy the Political Ump mentioned on the original post how the pig with the samurai spirit reminded him of the sickeningly pleasant bovine bred to willingly and happily suicide in order to feed the guests in Douglas Adams's Restaurant at the End of the Universe . He's right, and now there is a whole website dedicated to such animals, the aptly titled Suicide Food , for hundreds of grisly yet happy pictures, pop on over and have a look. [Tip of the hat to Boing Boing for alerting me to this one.]
