Weird…

Details:

At around 5:30am on June 27, an unoccupied building still under construction at Lianhuanan Road in the Minhang district of Shanghai City toppled over.  One worker was killed.  According to information, a 70 meter section of the flood prevention wall in nearby Dianpu River and that may have something to do with this building collapse.

An outdoor advertising for Axe deodorant by some agency in When Gee Seoul, South Korea.

According to the Korean agency:

As wrapping the female student’s dormitory in the shape of calendar and using Axe for a month throughout March, we aimed for the expression that a new female can be met on a daily basis, to promote the brand image and preference for Axe.

32-year-old Australian graphic designer Rhett Dashwood has spent 6 months searching Google Maps hoping to discover land formations or buildings resembling letter forms. He was able to gather and complete the geographical alphabet even if limited within the state of Victoria, Australia. The results are incredible!

This is part of a winter marketing campaign for Coca-Cola’s Georgia Coffee Max. They manage to decorate the toilets of ski resorts in Japan with a realistic view from the top of a ski jump.

The cubicles were fully decorated on all sides, so that the person caught short would have a ski jumper’s view when they are sitting on the throne. The person can look down at the skis (simply printed on the floor of the cubicle) and see the steep ski jump slope ahead of them.

Advertising messages are found on the toilet paper holder and on the wall behind the toilet with the message: “Seriously kick-ass intensely sweet for the real coffee super zinging unstoppable Max! Taste-explosion!”. Dammit, that was intense.

This has got to be the most creative bathroom I have ever seen.

How can you take a dump on this one? Since, it looks realistic enough to scare the shit out of you (literally).

Time for the ski dump!

[view large version]

Crap, what a sight! This one’s origin is still unknown. No one has any idea about the what, when, where and the origin of this mysterious cable massacre.

What will happen if one wire will go bad? I don’t know, my head is about to explode just thinking about it.

They need to get their shit together.
