VW ad: If only the world did look like this :)

Anonymous Anonymous said...

It contains an ad for the first car I every owned:

http://farm1.static.flickr.com/150/329572088_27d0b0015f.jpg

Interestingly enough, they're advertising that car by:

1- Putting the car as far away as possible
2- On a mud track,
3- Put a pretty girl as close as possible (in the mud too.)

LOL!

Does anyone know what kind of car is the one in the italian-looking courtyard with the greco-roman statues, about halfway down the page?

Is it just me or does the girl in the Citroen look really pretty. And she looks like she is dresed in the modern day! Strange...

  • I'd love to see an illustration of Darth and ObiWan dueling (across the room, left) while Luke and Leia watch (foreground, right) but done as and in the style of a pulp magazine cover of the 1930s.

    (As if Amazing Stories printed Star Wars in the 1930s.)

  • If I'm not mistaken I think the crane "Svanen", the Swan, used for building the Öresund bridge was even bigger. And, it also moved the bridge segments into place with fantastic precision.

    You have a fantastic collection of cool pictures here. Great!

  • i love watching these things on discovery channel. i saw one where big pillars come out of the bottom of the barge and turn it from a floating crane into a crane resting on the floor of the ocean.

  • Great pics - love 'em.

    I went through a couple of situations like this in the Navy on a Spruance-class destroyer.

    Waves over 40 feet tall submerged the bow, ripped fire hoses off their fittings and flattened the life rails to the deck. The whole ship shuddered with every wave impact. We had to wear seatbelts at our watchstations. Although we were half afraid the bow would break off, it was kind of a fun experience.

    At one time, we were steaming with an older ship that had riveted hull plates, and we had to turn away from the waves because she was springing her rivets from the impact of running into the waves. Going parallel to those waves is much worse from a comfort standpoint. The worst though is quartering the waves, because you go up and down at the same time as you're rolling side-to-side - tough to eat or keep your food down when that's going on.

  • That is so very, very cool.

    Doesn't make me regret not following the family tradition of working at sea though!

  • His real name is not a secret. "Aleksey" is his official name, written in passport. His mother and wife call him "Alesha" with love in voice. His close friends can call him "Lesha" or "Leha". He calls himself "Letchik Leha" - that means "Pilot Aleksey". Rich and beautiful Russian language allows to transfer many subtle differences and senses just by changing words.

  • I can't find it anywhere, but I read a woman's first hand account of fleeing to South Korea to escape religious persecution. In that account she spoke about how hard it was to understand the Christian concept of the Trinity because of the way it's used on NK. Apparently there are three people in NK (Kim Jong Il being one of them) who are worshiped as a trinity of godlike men. That's why it seems appropriate for there to be so much imagery in those posters about threes... three missiles, three people, three prongs, etc... anyway, it really caught my eye that they use 3 so much.

  • Julia,

    I think the book you are talking about is Eye's of the Tailless monsters or something like that. I think we had that book. Let me see if it is still on my bookshelf.

    Ok, here it is: Eyes of the Tailless Animals: Prison Memoirs of a North Korean Woman

    these 2 are Chinese
    Try get a Chinese or Korean proof read your post next time
    Read more

  • hey can we get some one to translate these posters?!?!?!
    Read more

  • Please proofread your content. Two of the posters (not the army training pictures) are clearly Chinese, with Chinese characters, one poster actually saying "China" in it. The fact you lump them all together in one generic translation is definitely not true. The translation you provided does not apply to the Chinese posters, although because I cannot read Korean, I wouldn't be able to tell about the others. The fact that you cannot tell the difference is unacceptable, especially if you're going to group all of them together. Also, the Chinese posters don't even have "anti-US" sentiments in them. There's nothing that says "down with captialism" in them, and there's not even a picture of them crushing a capitol building, or beating the crap out of an American. And also, you can clearly see the South Korean symbol in the headbands of some of the army training pictures. Please take down or make a note of the pictures I've mentioned, as I'm assuming most of your readers will assume what you have when you posted these pictures. No hard feelings, just please be more accurate.

  • That is some serious hopping in the one picture. If I saw a bunch of crazed ice and snow loving guys hopping my way, I would be moving on.

    I don't really think that human beings are a good species to be running around the Universe though maybe we can survive and evolve into something worthwhile.

    If not, I'm down for the big asteroid strike.

    It would be bad if we figured out interstellar worm-hole type travel in our current state of being; the worst we have to offer is very very bad.

  • Regarding the photo with the man smoking a cigarette in the yellow car, the sticker on the windshield says "Vásárosdombó", which is a small village in Hungary. This means either that the photo is not from Russia or the Russian driver joined an offroad meeting in Hungary.

    in Canada... seem that these Russians are attempting to drive on winter roads in the summer!!!

    You built roads in the winter
    where heavy machinery dig out
    the frozen muck and replace it
    with gravel, which drain easy
    and is stable in the warm season.

    But all that take money and these
    Russians have spent all their resources
    making jet planes to give to
    terrorist states, built nuclear & useless submarines and non functioning nuke power stations.
