The Art of "Made You Look!"

Since like most other drivers in Metro Manila, I feel like my life literally wastes away behind the wheel on EDSA, I am only too thankful for the entertainment that advertising billboards provide. The latest attention grabbing ones for me would have to be those of Folded & Hung featuring the lovely Maja Salvador in the clothing line's summer wear. No doubt, quite a few fender-benders will be caused by mesmerized drivers gawking at these ads. At least these will help reawaken commuters who end up in a hypnotized glazed daze produced by mind-numbing traffic jams. Of course it's either you gawk at the ladies, or some guy in his underwear suffering from performance anxiety, or shrinkage from the cold, maybe?

But seriously, kudos to my high school classmate and F&H CEO, Ronald Pineda, and all those behind the clothing line, for not settling for mediocre ad layouts.

What Nightmares Are Made Of
Michael Warner, 58, consumed so much alcohol over the years that he couldn’t drink any more due to acid reflux and stomach ulcers. “He was told that he could not drink alcohol or that he would die,” said a Lake Jackson, Texas, police spokesman. In order for him to still consume it, police say, his wife Tammy Jean Warner, 42, gave him a wine enema. She went overboard, they say, when she anally administered two bottles of fortified sherry, pushing his blood alcohol level to .47 percent, killing him. She has been charged with criminally negligent homicide, and with destroying Michael’s will for his $317,000 estate, which she has been fighting his daughter for since his death. She has already received $248,276 in life insurance. (Clute Facts) ...“I’ll drink to that,” Tammy said. “Bottoms up!”
