PICS VIII: 10% LARGER THAN PICS VII

[Don Coyote]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wabi-sabi

Wabi-sabi (侘寂?) represents a comprehensive Japanese world view or aesthetic centered on the acceptance of transience and imperfection. The aesthetic is sometimes described as one of beauty that is "imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete".[1] It is a concept derived from the Buddhist teaching of the three marks of existence (三法印 sanbōin?), specifically impermanence (無常 mujō?), the other two being suffering (苦 ku?) and emptiness or absence of self-nature (空 kū?).

Interesting.
Thanks for introducing me to this concept, six.

You're welcome, but call me Coyote.

This meme is hilarious.

That imageset bothers me in ways I find hard to describe.

First off, it's perfectly transparent about advertising snickers. But, it doesn't even get their ad right.

Second, it implies that (1) God speaks english, (2) he's unreasonable in his desire to kill everyone, (3) he's only trying to kill everyone because he's hungry, and (4) a candy bar will make him feel better.

In other words, the person who initially made it completely failed (on many levels) to comprehend the basic ideas of both The Bible and candy bar commercials, and yet decided to combine them anyway. Probably, if I posted this rant to him directly, he'd have a hissy fit and complain about how I'm ruining his fun.

I guess what really bothers me is that the world contains people like the one who made that photoset and posted it initially without realizing anything was wrong with it.

I'm fucking dying.

That phrase bothers me in ways I find hard to describe.

First off, it's perfectly transparent about advertising sex and dying. But, it doesn't even get their ad right.

Second, it implies that (1) Phrases on the internet and elsewhere can kill people, (2) that it kills you in such a way that you still have time to tell us about it, (3) that you have nothing better to do with your final moments on this earth, and (4) the Welsh have learnt to type in English.

In other words, the person who makes such a comment completely fails (on many levels) to comprehend the basic ideas of both fucking and dying, and yet decided to combine them anyway. Probably, if I posted this rant to him directly, he'd have a hissy fit and complain about how I'm ruining his fun.

OMG i created a monster 

That phrase bothers me in ways I find hard to describe.

First off, it's perfectly transparent about advertising military-industrial complex producing genetic horrors for war. But, it doesn't even get their ad right.

Second, it implies that (1) Phrases on the internet and elsewhere can create monster, (2) that it creates monsters of such direness that common people should worry but there is no news coverage, (3) that you find the creation of eldritch abominations humorous, and (4) Mexico is a real place.

In other words, the person who makes such a comment completely fails (on many levels) to comprehend the basic ideas of both monsters and humor, and yet decided to combine them anyway. Probably, if I posted this rant to him directly, he'd have a hissy fit and complain about how I'm ruining his fun.

I guess what really bothers me is that the world contains people like the one who made that kind of comment and posted it initially without realizing anything was wrong with it.

This is the best thing I've seen all day.

The wabi-sabi concept is the second best.

Steve Mann & cohort. From the model, I'd guess early 90s -- that's the 80s rig Mann's sporting, and one of the other guys has a twiddler, so I'd estimate around 1993.
