Random Pattern

Apparently, the divine powers somehow decided that the going rate for Indonesian air travel accidents (as mentioned in Step 5) should also be applicable for the national airline (so much for their on-going “double-checked safety” campaign on TV), not just low cost carriers. Hence the unfortunate crash landing in Yogyakarta's airport on a pristine Wednesday morning which inexplicably stretches this strange convention well into the third month of 2007. Deepest condolences all around, here’s wishing the streak to end immediately.

Anyhow, someone pointed out this pattern in the randomness of local incidents so far this year. Something about the numbers. Eerie, huh.

01.01 AdamAir disappearance into thin air.
02.02 Jakarta’s worst flood ever recorded.
02.22 Levina ferry burned at sea.
03.03 Nusa Tenggara Timur’s landslide.

07.03.07 Garuda’s Boeing 737 crashed and burned.

Any idea what’s in store for April 4th?

Animate This!

This is getting too much, all this semi-User Generated Any-crap. First, Nike wanted us to play Offline Editor. Then Tiger Beer seduced us to play Sound Engineer.

Now it's Instant Kiwi's turn, and how could one resist the lure of being an Animator.

Well, 2015 is not that far away now.

27,000 signatures and counting on www.petitiononline.com/future2, who wouldn't want one?

Reverse Evolution

Agency: CP+B.

















George Parker pointed out this sad fact after comparing these Volkswagen ads which are 40 years apart, somehow every element in the newer one has been supersized. So much in trying to evolve our right brain.

Agency: DDB.

A New Hope?

Eventually we will see this as an entry in some award shows, you can wipe that surprised look on your face now. At least, now it's much much better than these. (Agency: DraftFCB Indonesia)
