• Define Beauty? OK. This Is Not It.
  on Nov 22, 2012 in Disturbing Mascots
  From a MTR subway ad. Our friends at Canon ask us to ‘define beauty’, apparently with the help of this bizarre counterexample. Yes thats a huge black disco ball ‘eye’ on her forehead, and yes her neck is surrounded by a ring o...
• Archie Meets Kiss - Zombie Edition?
  on Nov 17, 2012 in Disturbing Mascots
  An utterly bizarre comic book from a store in Mongkok. I’ve always wondered who actually reads Archie; I’ve never met anyone who confesses to doing so. Apparently its been around since World War 2, so somebody does. Anyway what makes this...

• Fuel Britannia
  on Nov 15, 2012 in Super English Force
  Just a quick post. The phrase ‘rule britannia’ doesn’t resonate with Americans of course, but I have to give the lads at Weetabix credit for a painful if effective pun. Now if they could just make their products edible...
• Apologies for the RSS storm
  on Nov 10, 2012 in None
  Apologies to any reader(s) who use the RSS feed and just got 99 updates. My blog software is not uploading properly and the ‘comments’ provider no longer supports it. Hope to have it solved soon.
• Fun TV Dongle
  on Nov 6, 2012 in Super English Force
  An admittedly poor shot of a bus-side ad, but in my defense it was moving away at the time. Apparently the dongle in question is an Android USB add-on (or something). Suffice it to say the name leaves a great deal to be desired - it sounds vaguely se...
• I Will Ascend to Poodle Heaven on Cyan Blue Wings
  on Nov 2, 2012 in Cookie Moon Doggie Spa
  As you may have surmised from my previous posts, I am no fan of poodles (or yippy little dogs in general). Honestly my time in HK has only solidified my disdain for them, even moreso their owners. After all these dogs didn’t ask to be bred into...
• Salmon-Chanted Evenings
  on Oct 27, 2012 in Super English Force Disturbing Mascots
  A poster for a Seattle based charity started by a famous local chef and his restaurant suppliers, in which they are prepare a high end picnic dinner of salmon and other local delicacies in a picturesque local park. All the proceeds go to help the Sea...
• Blue Hair - We Provide with Good English Services
  on Oct 19, 2012 in Super English Force
  A twofer in Wanchai. Not only a great name for a hair salon - assuming your clientele composed of aged matrons who go in for the ‘blue hair’ affect of course (and the occasional Katy Perry wannabe too I suppose). But its also a striking e...
• Blingo! Voting for Men, Women, & Whatever He's Supposed to be...
  on Oct 16, 2012 in Disturbing Mascots
  From a recent bus stop ad for a ‘get out the vote’ campaign here in HK. Actually it’s humbling to see voting being actively promoted and taken seriously. Unfortunately many Americans love to brag and lecture about their democracy, b...
