Walked by a store that sells Lingerie. Sign said “85% of all women have the wrong braw size - are you one of them?”.

I guess they want women to go “wow, must find out”. But I think they’re wrong, because I think what they’ve found out is that 85% of all women are firm believers of psychosomatic effects (Hey, I didn’t say in which direction of the alphabet), and that’s way bigger then their braw business.

Stolen image that I never thought I’d have on this blog, but here it is.

Apparently our Amsterdam CD woke up one morning after having walked around the city, reacting to all the garbage everywhere and thought they should do something to get others to reflect. Super simple, but why not?

Don’t watch the whole thing though… you get the point after 10 sec.

I also like messages/thoughts that are actually questions rather than messages you tell people. I mean who the hell knows exactly where all the garbage go, but thinking about it is probably going to have you go “yeah, we do through away shit loads”. That’s a reflection people need to make every now and then regarding lots of things (energy consumption, garbage disposing, water usage etc) in many different contexts. All of a sudden, it’s going to hit people for real.

These are my links for June 29th through July 1st:

As psychiatrist Milton Erickson put it, “Change will lead to insight far more often than insight will lead to change.”

Quite like and agree with that quote. But we’re pretty quick to forget and not do, aren’t we?
