I’ve installed a lightbox just because it’s cool and it lets me post bigger pictures with style. The first post that benefited from this is the previous Evangeline Lilly post. You can navigate the lightbox by clicking on the image itself or using the left-arrow, right-arrow and the escape key on the keyboard. I might go back and implement it on some of the old galleries.

I could not believe it when I saw these ads during the Super Bowl. How these commercials were ever approved is beyond me. The first one depicts these bamboo selling pandas with horribly stereotypical Chinese accent. And the other one shows an Indian man in a lowly sales job trying to make enough money to feed his seven kids. You be the judge.

Upon further investigation, it turns out that the proceed will go towards hygiene products in addition to sex ed programs, schools, dorms, clean water and the likes. So maybe it’s not so bad. But I didn’t get that from the 30 second TV spot. I thought when you buy tampons they’ll give African girls tampons. Which is good, to be sure, but let’s not compare Tampax with food, water, and life saving medicine. Tampax: good intention, conceited ad. Although, it still seems like a half-assed attempt at using the image of poor African girls to sell Tampons.

To support World AIDS Day (and to advertise), they also made this Beautiful Agony style video of one of the most beautiful things in the world—it’s up there with babies and love, though not entirely unrelated. Oh, and of course it’s NSFW. You gotta love the French.
