Skiing


 It's winter here in Australia, and I'm starting to feel the itch. That's right, skiers itch. No, I'm not talking about the itch you get from wearing snow pants for an extended period of time.. I'm talking about the need to hit the slopes - to feel the cold air smack your cheeks, to experience the sensation, exhilaration of rushing down a steep hill on nothing but two long pieces of plastic under your feet. I'm talking about skiing itself.  This all reminds me of being on my high school's skiing team - going out to the hill after school, practising race technique and then skiing for the rest of the night. That just doesn't exist in Aus... Skiing - the major benefit to a Canadian winter.

Coca-Cola

I posted the other day about the brilliance of Volkswagen's advertising throughout the 60's. Coca-Cola is in the exact same category of brilliant. Their ads are timeless and unique. They have changed pop-culture as we know it: Santa Claus would not be his stereotypical red and white suited, jolly old man with a beard if it weren't for Coke. Good Coke advertising continues to this day, but let's take a look at some of the more vintage Coca-Cola propaganda:

Classic Volkswagen

Few companies do advertising well. Volkswagen, however, set itself apart with these brilliant ads from the 60's & 70's. I love them.
