I’ve seen people get profoundly embarrassed if they have scrap of toilet paper stuck to the heel of their shoe. To me their embarrassment seems disproportional to the incident. Even in the cleaner mens’ rooms, there are at least half a dozen pieces of errant toilet paper on the floor. Benefit of the doubt: most of them weren’t used, they were just extra. Not a big deal.

What is, and should be, embarrassing is what I saw today… A guy left the mens’ room with toilet paper coming out of the top of his pants.

The Ad Generator is kinda addictive (for a couple of minutes).

The BS explanation:
“The ad generator is a generative artwork that explores how advertising uses and manipulates language. Words and semantic structures from real corporate slogans are remixed and randomized to generate invented slogans. These slogans are then paired with related images from Flickr, thereby generating fake advertisements on the fly. By remixing corporate slogans, I intend to show how the language of advertising is both deeply meaningful, in that it represents real cultural values and desires, and yet utterly meaningless in that these ideas have no relationship to the products being sold. In using the Flickr images, the piece explores the relationship between language and image, and how meaning is constructed by the juxtaposition of the two.”

Has anyone heard of him before? He reminds me of Dwight from The Office.
