Ambalaje versus Realitate

Horea Gruita — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 16:31:22 +0000

Un site german, Pundo3000.com, a efectuat un studiu pe 100 de produse diferite prin compararea aspectul produselor, după cum arată ambalajul cu conţinutul real în interiorul cutii. Citând site-ul, care este în limba germană: “Toate produsele au fost achiziţionate, ambalaj, fotografiate şi conţinutul pregătite şi fotografiate de asemenea. Toate produsele au fost apoi mâncate. “, Şi, de asemenea:” Scopul proiectului nu este de a discredita mărcile sau produsele, ci de a compara critic publicitatea ambalaj comparativ cu conţinutul interior “.

DA! Asa cum spune si titlul acestui post din pozele de mai jos va veti convinge ca nu numai copiii fac lucruri trasnite.

Sunt ferm convins ca multi dintre protagonistii din imaginile de mai jos nu ar trebui sa traiasca liberi printre noi, dar din nefericire nu se intampla asa. Tot ceea ce putem sa facem este sa-i acceptam si pe ei. Astept comentariile voastre.

Ce ne invata filmele americane

Horea Gruita — Wed, 04 Mar 2009 10:07:47 +0000

Mai multi cineasti au decis sa faca o lista cu “lectiile” date de filmele americane, cele imprimate definitiv in mintea spectatorilor.

Despre ce este vorba? Sa vedem:
1. Apartamentele mari, etajate, din New York, au o chirie convenabila pentru oricine, fie el somer sau director.

2. Cel putin unul din doi gemeni identici este diabolic.

3. Daca trebuie sa dezamorsezi o bomba nu ai de ce sa-ti faci griji, intotdeauna vei alege corect firul care trebuie taiat.

4. Mai toate computerele laptop sunt suficient de puternice pentru a patrunde in sistemul de comunicatii al oricarei civilizatii extraterestre invadatoare.

5. Nu conteaza daca intr-o lupta martiala numarul adversarilor este foarte mare: inamicii tai vor astepta rabdatori sa te atace unul cate unul, dansand in jurul tau intr-o maniera amenintatoare, pana cand ii faci knock-out pe cei dinainte.

6. Cand stingi lumina pentru a te duce la culcare, tot ce se afla in dormitorul tau se vede perfect, numai ca intr-o usoara penumbra.

7. Daca esti blonda si draguta, este foarte probabil sa ajungi expert mondial in fisiune nucleara la varsta de 22 de ani.

8. Politistii cinstiti si muncitori sunt in mod traditional impuscati cu trei zile inainte de pensionare.

9. Decat sa risipeasca gloantele, megalomaniacii prefera sa-si ucida adversarii pe care-i prind folosind masinarii complicate, care cuprind rachete, sisteme electronice, gaze mortale, lasere sau rechini mancatori de oameni, ce le ofera prizonierilor cam 20 de minute pentru a evada.
10. Toate paturile au cearsafuri speciale, probabil in forma de L, care ajung pana la subratul femeii care doarme, dar depasesc numai cu putin coapsele barbatului de langa ea.

11. Toate pungile cu cumparaturi contin cel putin o paine-bagheta.

12. Este foarte usor pentru oricine sa piloteze un avion, pana la aterizare, urmand instructiunile cuiva din turnul de control.

13. O data pus pe buze, rujul nu mai dispare de acolo, orice ai face, inclusiv scufundari submarine.

14. Cel mai probabil vei supravietui unei batalii, dar numai daca nu faci greseala sa arati inainte cuiva fotografia iubitei care te asteapta acasa.

15. Daca vrei se te dai drept ofiter german sau rus, nu-i nevoie sa stii limbi straine, este suficient un accent potrivit.

16. Turnul Eiffel se vede pe orice fereastra din Paris.

17. Un barbat nu va arata nici un semn de durere in cursul celor mai feroce lupte, dar se va crispa cu totul cand o femeie incearca sa-i curete zgarieturile.

18. Daca undeva se vede un panou de sticla, mai devreme sau mai tarziu cineva va trece prin el.
19. Daca locuiesc intr-o casa bantuita, femeile vor iesi – dar numai icele mai transparente desuuri – sa vada ce este cu sunetele ciudate pe care le aud.

20. Un computer pe care trebuie sa deschizi un fisier text nu va avea cursor, dar va spune in-totdeauna: “Introdu parola”.

21. Cand conduci pe un drum perfect drept este intotdeauna necesar sa rotesti voiniceste de volan in stanga si in dreapta la fiecare cateva momente.

22. Toate bombele au un ceas electronic cu cifre mari si rosii, pentru a sti exact cat mai este pana la explozie.

23. Un detectiv poate rezolva un caz numai dupa ce a fost suspendat.

24. Daca te hotarasti sa dansezi pe strada, toti cei pe care ii vei intalni vor cunoaste perfect pasii.

25. Departamentele de politie dau ofiterilor teste de personalitate pentru a fi sigure ca ii vor face parteneri pe cei care se potrivesc mai putin.

26. Cand sunt singuri, toti ofiterii straini prefera sa vorbeasca unul cu altul in engleza.

CUM SA AGATZI O FATA

Horea Gruita — Wed, 04 Mar 2009 09:43:39 +0000

Daca n-o cunosti, abia ti-a fost prezentata de un prieten, cu conditia sa nu fie prietena lui, te duci la ea, o saruti frumos pe obraz, spui ceva acolo (de ex ca iti pare bine s-o cunosti, nu conteaza ce ; spui ceva din gura).

Asta doar daca e necunoscuta, pe urma incerci sa afli nr de telefon de la ea sau de la prieten (al tau NU al ei, btw: conditia principala s-o poti agata e sa n-aiba prieten sau sa nu fie moarta dupa unu’ sau sa nu-i fi total antipatic).

Intr-o zi dai un telefon si o inviti la un film (undeva in functie de imaginatia fiecaruia), eventual mai chemi niste cunostinte comune (perechi).

Daca zice NU si-ti place mult de ea, mai incerci peste cateva zile. Daca tot iti zice ca nu poate din diferite motive, ii dai papucii si treci la urmatoarea.

Daca zice DA mergeti si va-ntalniti intr-un loc. Te duci la ea, ii intinzi mana si ii zici hai sa mergem, o iei frumos de mana si plecati. Daca dupa cateva secunde isi ia mana dintr-a ta nu dispera, va urma o intersectie, va trebui sa traverseze o strada cat de curand si ii prinzi iar mana.

Ati ajuns la film sau la teatru (prima oara faci tu cinste ca tu ai invitat-o dupa aia n’are decat sa-si plateasca). Intrati la film, va asezati si te faci comod (mana din dreptul ei se aseaza frumos pe umarul ei iar cu cealalta mana o iei de mana) o tragi usor spre tine si ori te opresti aici ori o saruti (trebe sa va explic cum se saruta o fata?)).

A grija sa fie un film plicticos (nici ceva sa-nu-ti iei ochii de pe ecran, da’ nici un film indian cu el… si ea … ). Daca vezi ca nu vrea trebuie sa ai rabdare: cui pe cui se scoate, daca e incapatanata esti si tu incapatanat (poti sa-i si spui chestia asta).

Se termina filmu’, iesiti de la film strans legati unul de altul ,o duci acasa (daca nu sta in vreun cartier celebru) si o saruti inainte sa va despartiti. Ii spui ca o suni sau sa te sune a doua zi sau stabiliti din seara respectiva cand sa va mnai intalniti …

Sfaturi adiacente:
1) Nu fi bou sa dai bani pe flori, poate doar la o aniversare, odata pe an.
2) Cand mergi cu o fata pe strada spune bancuri, fa glume, fii vesel, fii baiat de gasca, nu fi moale (molau).
3) N-o suna numai tu, fa in asa fel incat sa te sune si ea.
4) Nu cheltui prea multi bani cu ea.
5) Complimentele i le faci dupa ce ai agatat-o (vrajit-o) nu inainte.
6) Daca e proasta n-o prezenta parintilor chiar daca e misto, mai bine le prezinti una mai uratica dar desteapta, va face o impresie mai buna.
7) Daca o agati la un bairam si n-ai chef sa o tii prea mult alege una misto indiferent ce are prin creieras. Daca vrei sa fii prieten mai mult timp cu ea nu te uita cum arata (nici ultima stramba sa nu fie) dar vezi sa aiba ceva prin creier.
9) Niciodata nu-i spune unei tipe care inca nu ti-e prietena ca-ti place de ea (gandeste-te cam ce i-ai face tu unei tipe care ti-ar spune ca-i placede tine).
10) NU te indragosti ca bou’ ca daca nu iese…
11) Ciorba reincalzita nu e buna (daca ati teminat-o nu o luati de la capat, fa asta doar daca vrei sa te razbuni pe ea.

(Regula_de_aur) Domina ca sa nu fi dominat.

(Ultima_regula) Dupa masini si dupa femei sa nu alergi, vor veni altele.

Daca metoda nu merge numai voi sunteti de vina … mai incercati o data!

cam atat…
