From Wikipedia:

A Friday occurring on the 13th day of any month is considered to be a day of bad luck in English, German, Polish and Portuguese-speaking cultures around the globe…
…The fear of Friday the 13th is called paraskavedekatriaphobia (a word that is derived from the concatenation of the Greek words Παρασκευή, δεκατρείς, and φοβία, meaning Friday, thirteen, and phobia respectively; alternate spellings include paraskevodekatriaphobia or paraskevidekatriaphobia) or friggatriskaidekaphobia, and is a specialized form of triskaidekaphobia, a phobia (fear) of the number thirteen.

I think friggatriskaidekaphobia might be the best word ever.

I am just utterly amused that this is what TV advertising has come to.

The quotation that sums it up best is one of my favorite regarding business and marketing:

“No one ever got rich overestimating the intelligence of the American public.”
- P. T. Barnum.

Is getting it into the heads of your customers the most important thing no matter what the impression you leave?
That’s all for now. I gotta go buy some Berries and Cream Starburst.

This idea has been stewing in my head for a while.

It is the perfect mix of fun kids movie and creepy-as-all-get-out horror.

I can see it now…

A young girl on a long journey learns the value of true friendship and the importance of a place to call home. From the creator of Charlie and The Chocolate Factory comes an adventure over the rainbow:

-OR-

From the mind that brought us Edward Scissorhands, A Nightmare Before Christmas, Sleepy Hollow and Big Fish comes a tale so terrifying, it’ll leave you wanting to be no place but home:

Is it vandalism if no one will ever see it?

     

I found this video linked-up over on Kaliber 10,000, a design portal that I frequent. Great work!
