Truth in Packaging

 Graphic Artists may be the greatest illusionists in the world today. We lead you to believe that everything you see on TV and print is reality. Take food packaging for example, we get suckered every time by colorful exaggerated text and mouth-watering imagery expecting that the contents of said food product is exactly what we see on the package. Don't get me started on men's magazines and the magic of airbrushing.
When was the last time you stopped and took notice of what corporations promise us on packaging and what (crap) we actually get? (While you're at it, think of what politicians/government officials promise us and how large the d****os they use to screw us each time, but that's another post altogeher) Don't you feel dirty being tricked every single time? But like the stupid ass consumer schmucks that we are, we keep coming back for more.
I found this site that compiled 100 (german) products and compared what we see on the labels and what's actually inside the box. If it's not eye-opening, it's at least pretty funny.
Now if you'll excuse me, I have a routine maintenance on my standard issue Reality Distortion Field Generator. Labels: Around the Web |

Being the mindless drone of fashion that I am, I decided to jump on the Blogging bandwagon. This site contains all my rants and raves about current events, technology, video gaming, cinema and the occasional snippets of my own geek life. (Yeah, quite original, I know.)
