Brilliant satirical advert series for fashion brand French Connection. Putting such texts on fashionable photos is just a great idea. It reminds me strongly of the Unhappy Hipsters. Created by Fallon.
Thanks Wout!

Quite nice: Letters to dead people
Quite nice idea by Celine Song, a blog where you can leave in letters to dead peoples.

“Flap’s on fire. Your flap’s on fire! Chili in the vagiiiiina. I’m a bad bad boy.”
“Oompa loompas don’t sing in heaven. They tidy up the clouds.”
“Elephant trunks should be used for elephant things only. Nothing else.”
“Avocados? You can shove them up your ass as well.”
[suddenly, upon waking] “Stop the panther!”
“Don’t eat the jelly! Don’t eat the jelly! I made it with frog wee. It’ll turn your teeth green… Like mini apples.”
“You can stop clapping now if you want. Really. You’ll need your energy for cheering me later. Shhhhhhhh. shhhhhhhh.”
[ yelled upon waking] “COCK HUNTER!”
These are some words spoken by a certain Adam while he sleeps. Adam speaks so much in his sleep that his wife started a blog about it. What Adam says can be called hilarious. Read for yourselves.
(Thanks Michiel!)

The 7 legged spider story. Read it.
As you can read above David Thorne is a guy with a sense of humor. Read the rest of this hilarious email conversation and more similar stories on his website. He bundled the adventures he had on internet in a book which I got from me misses today!

When I get a business card this size, I think that that person is a fag
That is one of the many hilarious quotes posted on the website ‘Clients from Hell‘, a website where designers can drop quotes from, yes, clients from hell. Really, really recognizable.

Laika, a dynamic typeface
Type normally was a static thing. Not anymore! You now easliy can glide from bold to thin and backwards.

Going Dutch
Great journalistic piece about our homeland Holland and its people appeared in the NY Times (I can’t link to the article itself, but click ‘Going Dutch - How I learned to..)
Quote:
“I spent my initial months in Amsterdam under the impression that I was living in a quasi-socialistic system, built upon ideas that originated in the brains of Marx and Engels. This was one of the puzzling features of the Netherlands. It is and has long been a highly capitalistic country — the Dutch pioneered the multinational corporation and advanced the concept of shares of stock, and last year the country was the third-largest investor in U.S. businesses — and yet it has what I had been led to believe was a vast, socialistic welfare state. How can these polar-opposite value systems coexist?”
(Thanks Wout!)

Fontshuffle
Every graphic designer sometimes wonders what kind of neat typeface it is they see on, for instance, a poster. Here’s the answer: Fontshuffle. An iPhone app that contains a whole font catalogue that solves the problem described above.

Obama’s signature
Looks good we think! And if you compare it to Jimmy Carter’s, Ronals Reagan’s or G.W.’s signature it’s a piece of fine art.

Thieves!
Very true and well put by film director Jim Jarmusch. Reminds us of Picasso saying: “Good artists copy, great artists steal”.
