As I walked into Digital Media class this morning, I checked my e mail as I usually do, and then checked Miguel's blog or "blag" as he prefers. I digress.
I realized that I hadn't ranted for a while... I just needed a topic.
After considerable thinking, and some nice suggestions from classmates, I found my way to the old standby or irony.
One of my favorite examples of irony was in an unexpected venue: the silver screen.
I forget what show I was going to see, but in the previews there was your standard "the world is falling apart, and it's your fault" commercial.
It took a while, but I've learned to live with those commercials being thrown in from all directions, but this one just made me smile.
They went for the dramatic angle, flashing words like HEAT WAVES (I was watching this at the ass end of the coldest winter we've experienced in years.
DROUGHTS ( We've had flooding for a lonnnng time. I'm fairly sure that we've actually had weeks of pretty much solid rain.)
My favorite part was how the commercial neglected to mention the abnormal flooding and freezing thats been going on.
I suppose that doesn't fit to well with global warming.
Isn't Mother Nature a jerk?
