A new cover for The New Yorker by cartoonist Daniel Clowes.

This cover makes me want to stab someone. If I never see another Clowes/Seth/Tomine piece of retro-hipster work again, it’ll be too soon.
(yes, I’d be foolish to expect different from The New Yorker.)

zoya:
The thing I don’t understand about that hot new pop song is:
When you just meet someone and would like to see them again, aren’t you supposed to give them your number? That’s not crazy. That’s standard procedure. Being like, “Hey, I just met you, and this is crazy, but let’s surgically remove our faces and assume each other’s identities”—that, to me, would be crazy. Phone number seems pretty tame.
I think the “crazy” bit is supposed to be the anachronistic idea of giving someone a number to call you on a telephone.
Like, “Hey, I just met you, and this is crazy, but instead of tweeting or facebooking me, here’s my phone number.”

Invisible advertising? Sounds perfect! Except that the idea is that it’s invisible advertising that’s (supposedly) so amazing you will go out of your way to get special glasses to see it.
BTW: I’m pretty sure LYNX is the same thing as Axe in the US market.
To introduce its new range of deodorant, LYNX created the world’s first invisible ad in Sydney, Australia.
The concept used an abandoned terrace house where the windows were replaced with special LED screens. For the usual passers-by, the screens would appear blank. However, for those who are wearing sunglasses, they were able to see the raunchy videos of couples making out.
LYNX gave out polarized sunglasses to people who walked by, who were mainly its target market of young party-goers.
