Following the post just released on KiwiPulse.com showing the soon-to-be former president with many memorable face expressions during his presidency, I though it would be a good idea to compile a collection of Georgie in the advertising world. After all, George W. Bush is one of the most popular figures in our time with his familiar face being in numerous advertisements all over the world.

Below are some of the most interesting ads from the many creatives who tried to dissect Georgie’s character in order to sell an idea or a product.

Made for Milenio, A Mexican newspaper claiming  they solved the inner workings of Bush’s personality with a tagline translated to English reads: “Such a complex world needs a good explanation.”…Simpson + Texas cowboy = GWB.

November 4th 2008 got to be a historic day for all American because it mark the day when Barack Obama defeated John McCain and became the first African American to be elected President of the United States.

He will be sworn in as the 44th President of the United States on January 20, 2009.

I feel very lucky to be in a country where food are abundance and we are not suffering from hunger. I can’t imagine my whole day trying to find food to survive. For some people in the world it’s a daily challenge. The sensation of hunger typically begins after a couple of hours without eating and is generally quite uncomfortable. Can you believe that the average person suffering from hunger can survive weeks without food intake. For example the magician David Blaine survived 44 days without food, losing one quarter of his body weight, but keeping a healthy body mass index.

In 1976 obese people were put on an experimental starvation diet, with absolutely no food, for 40 days and none of them had any trouble surviving. The result was that people can last much longer without eating than without drinking. It also depends on the initial body condition: a weak elderly person or thin young person might not be able to go very long without food. Without water anyone will run into problems pretty quickly. Their blood volume will shrink and their water and electrolyte balance will be upset. Eventually the body will just go into shock. :roll:

My family situation look very much like the family in the third picture below with a lot of junk foods. Even the poor African family are eating more healthier than us. :|

Halloween (also known as All Saints’ Day) is celebrated across the world from the United States,Canada, Ireland, Puerto Rico, Japan, Australia, United Kingdom to parts of New Zealand on the last day of October. The most prominent symbol of Halloween has to be the carved orange pumpkin lit by a candle inside on every house’s doorstep.

The carved pumpkin is also called a jack-o-lantern, which got it’s origin from Europe. The European used to carve lanterns from turnips or rutabaga back in the days believing that the head was the most powerful part of the body with the spirit and the knowledge to frighten off any superstitions. The named jack-o-lantern traced back the Irish legend of Stingy Jack. The story of Jack, a greedy, gambler, hard-drinking old farmer has been summarized by Wikipedia as follows:

He tricked the devil into climbing a tree and trapped him by carving a cross into the tree trunk. In revenge, the devil placed a curse on Jack, condemning him to forever wander the earth at night with the only light he had: a candle inside of a hallowed turnip.

To celebrate Halloween with you all, I have compiled a number of creative pumpkin artworks for you to enjoy. Have a horrific Halloween!

Elephants are herbivorous (vegetarian). On a daily basis their diet consist of 150-250 pounds of hay along with additional grains, fruits, and vegetables. So of course they love to eat peanuts. With all that food they also drink 30-50 gallons of water per day.,

Orang Tua  Group, a group of manufacturing companies in Indonesia who specialize in producing food, beverages and consumer products such as tooth brushes, is promoting their KayaKing brand peanuts. The ad below showing the adult elephant performing a choking rescue procedure (also known as Heimlich manoevere) on the young elephant choking on a large peanut is quite cute.
