Advertising


Advertising in business is a form of marketing communication used to encourage, persuade, or manipulate an audience (viewers, readers or listeners; sometimes a specific group) to take or continue to take some action. Most commonly, the desired result is to drive consumer behaviour with respect to a commercial offering, although political and ideological advertising is also common. This type of work belongs to a category called affective labour.

Man lives in woods for 27 years and steals Pokémon games



 


It's hard to imagine a single person living undetected in the United States while having no contact with another human being for years, yet that's precisely what happened over the last three decades. GQ has published a lengthy new story about Christopher Knight, a hermit who has lived in the woods of Maine, surviving by stealing food, clothing, and entertainment from nearby houses. Among the things he stole? A child's Halloween candy and various handheld video games, including Pokemon.

Knight, now 48 years old, was finally discovered and arrested last year after years of his thefts had turned him into something of a myth. After being arrested, he eventually opened up to police (and later a GQ reporter) about his time in the wilderness. Unable to say how long he had been living by himself, he could confirm it began in the same year as the Chernobyl disaster, meaning he had been doing this since 1986.

He explains that he broke into houses about 40 times a year, an estimate that would total more than 1,000 total robberies. Owners of these houses became aware that someone was breaking in, but found themselves unable to stop them. He went undetected by only moving at night and never lighting any fires--an amazing feat, considering he was living in the woods of Maine during winter.

To keep himself occupied--27 years or so is a long time to go without human contact--he stole things like books and games, including handheld Pokémon, Dig Dug, and Tetris games. There's no word on what system these games were for or if he ever managed to catch them all. (The story also makes no mention of what he thinks of sub-1080p games. He thinks they're totally lame, I bet.)

Asked why he disappeared in '86, when he was 20 years old, Knight never had a real answer, saying things like, "I can't explain why," and "It's a mystery to me, too."

GQ's full story is fascinating and well worth a look if you're curious about how Knight committed the robberies and spent his time.

Russian Documentary uses fan made team fortress 2 poster


http://static2.gamespot.com/uploads/scale_super/1535/15354745/2646667-team-fortress-poster1.jpgA Russian television channel, Channel One, aired a documentary about World War I that used the above Team Fortress 2 poster as an example of United States military propaganda.
As any Team Fortress 2 player could tell you, that's not a German soldier, it's the Soldier class from the game. The documentary showed the Team Fortress 2 poster alongside other, real posters from the era calling Americans to enlist and support the war effort, and, according to International Buisness Times, said it depicted Germans as monsters "regardless of any logic or common sense."
You'd think that the poster claiming that soldiers eat babies as a fact, or better yet, that it calls people to join Team Demoman (another class in the game), would make it obvious it's not real, but if you weren't able to read English, visually it's not that far from the real thing. If nothing else, it's a compliment to the Deaviantart user TankTaur who created this great parody as part of a Team Fortress 2 propaganda contest in 2009.
It's unclear how the poster ended up in the documentary, but I think it's safe to assume it involved a Google image search. You can see the part of the documentary that features the poster in this YouTube video (via PC Gamer), around the 9:50 mark.


Student arrested for saying he shot a dinosaur

Alex Stone, a 16yr old student of Summervile high school, was arrested on the 21st of August 2014 for saying he shot his neighbours pet dinosaur. He said they were to write a few sentences about themselves and to list a 'status' as if they were filling in thier FaceBook profile.

Police called in and arrested ... High school student Alex Stone, 16, wrote that he shot The boy wrote 'I bought a gun to take of buisness'. That then made the school to have suspicions and lead them to call the Police. Alex was then arrested and charged for disordely conduct after he argued with Police. They searched through his bag and locker for any weapons, but found nothing. The boy was also suspended from school.


Alex's mother, Karen Gray, is angry that the school didn't call her first. "I could understand if they made him re-write it because it had the word 'gun'." Karen said. "I mean first of all, we don't have dinosaurs any more, and secondly, hes not old enough to buy a gun".

Alex says he meant no harm and didn't realise that his words could be interprited that way. "I regret it because they put it on my record, but i don't see any harm in it". He said. "I think there might have been a better way to put it, but me writting like that, it shouldn't matter unless i put it towards someone.
