This is a prototype of a project I’m thinking about doing. I want to take pictures of various homeless and socially outcasted people throughout Hawai’i, and then make postcards for tourists to send home so the illusion of paradise can be broken down…or something…I’m not really sure anymore. Anyway, here’s the example. It’s a picture I took on my walk home from work one night of a homeless person sleeping in the window of a fancy children’s bed store.
Aloha from Paradise
Ugh.

Attention! David and Goliath Tees is now making this offensive shirt. I find the shirt offensive because it’s implying it’s funny to be gay, and as one of my friends pointed out, it mirrors the “I’m with stupid” shirt. Note that the shirt does not say “He has brown hair” or something to that effect because it’s okay and normal to have brown hair. If you agree, please email questions@davidandgoliathtees.com to inform them of their error.
I walk past this every time I go to work.

I walk past this every time I go to work. It creeps the hell out of me.
Microsoft is so dumb.

As if I need another reason to not want to use Microsoft products, this comes along.
Dead serious. Microsoft acknowledged it and took down the ad.

OLD and tired news, I know, but I still found this interesting.
So, there’s construction going on at the University of Hawai`i at Manoa’s Biomedical Science building. As you walk through the building there are signs and tape everywhere saying “CAUTION MEN WORKING OVERHEAD.” I totally thought that kind of thing was phased out a long time ago? Here’s a picture I took with my phone this afternoon.
However, as I was walking home I passed more construction, this time it was window washers on a tall building near my apartment. This time the signs were quite different – they just said “Workers Above.” What’s so hard about making these things non-gender specific?
Everyone Loves a Seven Incher

BK Super Seven Incher Advertisement
You know what is HILARIOUS about this ad? I’m assuming they are marketing it to men, with the whole pretty blond looking like she’s giving head. However, think about it. The ad is saying that the BK Super Seven Incher is a penis. They are selling men a $6.25 meal that includes a drink, fries, and a “seven incher” for them to sink their teeth on.
