Hamburger.

What about a person from Frankfurt?

Frankfurter.

Hahahahaha.
My favorite joke in a while. Except, it’s not really a joke. It’s actually true.

This is also another one, but it’s not as funny, because I had no idea a berliner is a pancake:

What about a person from Berlin?

Berliner.

Hahaha.

1. Part “Israeli conspiracy theory to brain wash our youth into only caring for immoral strippers” courtesy of many of the so called “parties” who only have a say on such silly events, including leftist, socialist, Muslim Brotherhood, conservative, and so on.

2. Part “THEY’RE ENCOURAGING HOMOSEXUALITY!”, courtesy of a lot of the other parties, such as the Muslim Brotherhood, conservative, etc.

Around these two points, both teams have managed to rally a number of people around them. Because naturally, people never really bother thinking about anything.

You know, regardless of whether it matters at all if Publicis was the organizer or not (because after all, read the news), the actual organizer is called Les Visiteurs du Soir, and it’s a French company that you can read about here.

Dave sez, “Spotted this Google-themed sari in a fancy shopping mall in Gurgaon, India (the tech hub south of Delhi). I couldn’t get the backstory because (proving that India is nearing Western standards in every way!) a guard started rushing over to bust me for taking pictures.”

I thought, wow, that’s cool. Milano’s food isn’t all that bad and their backyard garden is very cute, so I reserved there for four.

We get there around 9:30 to find out that they had seated us at the very back of the garden with the tiniest, unclearest tv in the world hanging overhead. We thought, okay, it’s not a problem, we did book rather late after all. We ordered drinks and asked for the food menu, decided we’ll order pizza, a burger, and an appetizer.

The waiter comes to take our order, and informs us of their brilliant idea on how to capitalize on football. Except, it’s really much sneakier than that of any other outery in Amman, because at least everyone else is very clear on the extra charges.

“There are no pizzas today, sir, only main courses,” he says.

“Ok, fine, we’ll have a burger then.”

“There are no burgers today, sir, only main courses.”

We take a look at the menu and realize that they mean steaks, escallopes, and fillets, all of which of course cost over 10 JDs.

“Alright, if we order a main course, can we at least have a salad or an appetizer on the side?”

“We’re sorry, sir, we only have main courses today.”

Of course, we decide to get up and leave. On the way to the door, we notice that there are many tables that were served appetizers and salads.

We ended up watching the game at Chilli House next door, where we ordered a burger, a cheese coney, pasta, two cokes, and fries for under 7 JDs. Plus, they were super friendly and served us coffee on the house.

I don’t understand these retarded marketing ploys. They trick you in a message to think that they have no minimum charge, and they treat you, their customer, pretty badly. Plus, we would have surely spent a lot more money there if it weren’t for that “we only serve main dishes” marketing ploy. We would have happily had a burger, a pizza, an appetizer, and several drinks over the two-hour length of the game, and their total would have surely been higher than the 20 JDs of two main courses.

Well, whatever. Milano lost themselves some clients- and clients that were more than happy to recommend them to friends and family.

This is my Wednesday’s brand diary. Most of my days really include the same brands.
The only Arab brands: Mood, Fine, and toot.

(idea stolen from here, hattip: Phil)

What brands do you use every day?

Thanks!

One of the reasons I came to love design so much is because it manages to sort of portray a decade. The colors, the styles, the technologies, and the copy used in logos, advertisements, posters, etc. are all relevant to the pop-culture of the days they represent. It really is indeed very fascinating.
When it comes to soccer, I do enjoy watching the games, but I am not a sports fan in the sense that I would totally root for a team because their team logo is gorgeous.
The cross between design, pop culture, and sports is brilliant. Here are the various logos of the Fifa world cups:
