It’s not often that you are about to get on an elevator and admire the advertisements on it.  The coolest feature I’ve ever seen on an elevator is when they occasionally have TV’s inside that tell you the weather or have the latest news.  It’s funny because elevator ads didn’t even exist just a few short years ago.

Elevator advertising is one of those things - and it’s gaining momentum as one of the hottest marketing venues in the country.
One of the most attractive aspects of elevator advertising is the sheer number of people it reaches. The average number of riders in a high-rise building is 500 people per day. Over a six month period, that amounts to more than 90,000 views of your ad - a significant amount of attention for any small business.

I can’t wait until there’s a dual elevator in a building where the left elevator is a left breast and the right elevator is a right breast and it’s a “Got Milk?” campaign.

Until then we’ll have to deal with these 9 elevator ads.

Amazingly enough in all my years I have yet to eat at the famous Kentucky Fried Chicken.  In all honesty I have absolutely no clue why.  I really like fried chicken and I’ve been to Popeye’s and Roy Rogers back in the day.  Yet for some reason I just haven’t visited Mr. Sanders yet.

And now that I’m past 30 years old I feel like it’s kind of cool that I’ve never been there.  I think I’ll make it a point to never eat KFC, ever.

For whatever reason there must be some other KFC haters out there because there’s an entire site dedicated to forming ridiculous KFC signs that I happen to enjoy.

I’ve chosen 15 for your review.

I made a post about this funny phenomenon back in July.   It’s not that I invented to concept but I found it to be pretty interesting that a very popular commercial came out within the last month using this very topic (I believe it was for American Express).   You have to wonder if these large companies are turning to little itty bitty blogs like ours for information.  Who knows.

What I do know is that I love when you can see faces in just about anything.  It always tends to make the day a little bit brighter.

So here are more faces found in everyday objects.  Yay!

Irony comes in all shapes and sizes.  We see it everyday.  Personally I think it’s most hilarious when it’s a visual example rather than one you hear in passing.  You know, the kind where you say “hmm, that’s ironic.”  Those kind of suck.

I’m talking about ones that stare you right and the face and you think to yourself “how completely moronic are these people?”  It just makes you enjoy the human race that much more doesn’t it?

Here are 15 examples of such idiotic tendencies of our fellow man

When you’re married for long enough or are in a relationship for long enough things tend to get stale after a while.  It just happens.  It might be in the bedroom.  It might be the two of you sitting in front of the television with nothing to say.   Point is, you have to keep things fresh.  You have to be spontaneous.

You gotta keep surprising each other.  And honestly there’s only so much you can do in order to achieve that “newness” you once had.  Personally I think funny little notes keep me going.  While these notes aren’t from my wife, it’d be funny if she left some like this.

Sumo Wrestling is awesome, period.  Anyone who doesn’t think so probably doesn’t understand how great these guys are.  They may look like giant out of shape dudes but many of these guys are extremely muscular and athletic.   Oh and let’s not forget they are some of the biggest celebrities in Japan.

Translation?  They get ridiculously hot chicks.  But I digress.  One of my favorite things about sumo wrestlers is how they look in situations other than sumo wrestling.  Something is extremely funny about a guy that size anywhere outside the ring.

And with a little help from photoshop you can put a sumo wrestler into any situation  you want.   Here is a great collection of photoshopped sumo wrestlers

About the weirdest animal I’ve ever seen in someone’s house is probably an Iguana.  I mean those things are kind of strange looking right?  But at least you know they are “normal” pets.  Like there’s a tank, lighting, and you feed the thing bugs.  It’s a fairly common set up.  It’s not like you think the thing is going to come out of its cage and bite your head off.

But you’d be surprised at what animals are legal to have as pets.  In fact you might be a little frightened.

Check out some of these animals that probably shouldn’t be pets

I once made a profound statement in college about the circle of life.  “It’s amazing how we grow up as children only to eventually die like children.”  Let’s face it.  If you make it to old age there are more similarities physically to babies than with teenagers or adults under 50.  You can’t control your bowels.  You have a harder time talking.  You sleep all the time.  You need people taking care of you constantly.

I don’t mean to get all depressing on you because there are really cool things about being old.  In particular you don’t have to give a shit anymore.  Which means you can wear funny socks and curse people out whenever you want.  And instead of it being ridiculous, it’s funny as all hell.

Let us embrace old age.  Let us enjoy it.  And let these 15 old people moments entertain you for the 30 seconds you’ll skim over the pictures

Talk about getting it down to the basics.  You have to appreciate a minimalist approach to anything these days.  I mean think about how much space we as Americans waste every single day on crap that we don’t need and don’t care about.   We should learn something from the English.

The English village of Westbury-sub-Mendip is home to a rather unusual public library – an old red phone box. It was bought for just 1 pound and remodeled as possibly the smallest library in the world, if not the smallest it must win the prize for the most unusual.

This thing is awesome.  Turns out that it has a nifty system as well.  People from the town swap read books for new ones left by older patrons. Over 100 books and CD’s are available.  Now that’s using space wisely.
