Abuse In A Relationship
I'm more furious than confused.
In the Netherlands there's this commercial on tv and radio. You here a female voice who says that's enough, 'we can both work this out' and a telephone number you can dial for help.
The part that makes me furious is the sentence 'we can both work this out'. In the case of this commercial it's HIS problem, not hers. That brings me to the other thing, why is it a female voice. Men get mentally and physically abused in a relationship too.
There's this campaign in the Netherlands for teenagers. They did some research and have found out that a lot of female teenagers (yes again), are in an abusive relationship. Physically or mentally. The campaign says: Get out of that relationship. Healthy advice I think.
Do you see my problem? Two campaigns, about the same time:
- in both the victims are female
- in the 'grown up' version, the female says she wants to work it out together
- in the teenage version, the female needs to get out of the relationship
'Work it out together' ... it sounds to me as taking a junkie in the house and tell him / her not to steal.
A very chaotic blog this time ... because I'm annoyed and furious. How is this possible.
Look at all the banned commercials, the suggestion of a camera in a vagina, nudity and it's banned. And this is possible??????
So no my advice. Whoever you are, if you are in a abusive relationship: GET THE FUCK OUT OF IT!!!!!!!

"We wanted to confront people with the impact that short-haul flights have on the climate. We used Polar Bears because they’re a well understood symbol of the effect that climate change is having on the natural world."

The Dualism
The time has come ... The Dualism Online Exhibition is there ... you will have to check this out
I am following The Dualism for quite a time now on Facebook.
To write a review is difficult for me, because it touches me. It makes me feel uncomfortable. I feel like I'm looking into somebody elses life, but I am not. I see similarities. It's confusing.
Sometimes I got reactions on my re-posts ... 'creepy'. I can understand it, but on the other hand I can't. It's so beautiful. 'Creepy' probably because it's not what you expect. It makes you think. And everybody knows that's not what most people want on Facebook, there everything needs to be flowery, glittery, beary, happy ... :(
What is reality? I think The Dualism catches reality, at least my reality.

Getty Mishmash Competition ... And The Winners Are
"We were blown away by the fantastic effort from all the entrants to this year’s Mishmash competition. We’ve had a hard time judging, but two pieces of work really stood out for us. And so, without further ado, we’d like to announce the winners:
David Hopkinson won the UK prize with “Flash Forward (And Back)” – a video which merges a series of old-school images and footage, with a classic speech from Grand Master Flash on the art of mixing. Tommi Lius won the Northern Europe category with “Glitchmindly” – a fast-paced, high octane video montage set to electronic music.
Each of these winning videos has carefully blurred the lines between imagery and footage, from archival to contemporary, to create music videos which amazed the judges with their innovative editing techniques.
The judging panel comprised of a who’s who in music and film production, including representatives from advertising agency Saatchi and Saatchi, production company Cobblestone Hamburg Filmproducktion and UK music duo, “Hexstatic.” The judges looked at each music video as soon as it was uploaded and gave their verdict by leaving comments and rating each entry, ensuring each video received real time feedback.
One of the judges, Dan Waite, Label Director of MTV Talent & Music International said: “It was a delight to be a judge on this panel. The creativity that the entrants showed using Getty Images’ stock footage and Pump Audio music tracks was of a very high quality. As I watched some of the videos, I thought that a few were good enough and compelling enough to be on a music channel in their own right. It highlighted to me the breadth of the Getty Images film archive and the outstanding abilities of tomorrows’ music video and film producers.”
Congratulations to our two winners. They’ll soon be receiving their brand new 17″ MacBook Pro with Final Cut Pro.
If you weren’t lucky this time, don’t worry, as we’ll be running Mishmash 2010 next year. So, get your thinking caps on — we’re sure it’ll be an amazing competition.
