Alright, let's see how far can randomness take this post.
Let's start with something I find particularly annoying these few days that keep appearing in the newspaper. You know health warning about formaldehyde? Yeah that annoying bugger. It kept appearing for quite some time in the newspapers (not exactly sure how long, but fairly sure it has been there at least for a week). At first it got my attention. Not because of the health hazard, but I was shocked because they just warn you, without any other information, or any mention of how it affects us, or any other freaking thing that would be counted as an info. Only mere mention of sore throat and itchy eyes, and really, let's face it, that could have meant any other freaking disease there is out there!
...Your sore throat and itchy eyes seems to imply that you have been a toy puppet along!
And then they finally reveal after hitting the bush for so long... They are introducing a new paint formula that will help keep you save from these harmful chemical. Mind you, formaldehyde poisoning is no laughing matter, and could be fatal.
No that's not my point. My point is, look at how the freaking advertisements are going to be played out in the future. Strategically, I must admit, that's a hell good piece of advertising. How else to better scare the folk to buy paint than to state that their house might be emitting poisonous gas at this very instance? And that the paint can help them solve this fatal problem of theirs?
What next? An action figure to protect your dear children form predators?
*WARNING: Batteries not included*
Ok maybe that's a little slippery right there, but you get my point. Such advertising should not be encouraged. Misleading have been a great part in advertising, yes, but isn't this taking it way too far? It's ok to just post an advertisement and just that. To actually post, what I take it as, fake hazard note is another thing all together.
Looks like my post isn't so random after all!
Haha! xD

It's been awhile since I last blogged, so I figured I'll just start anew and afresh! Hence the delete of the old post. That, and a few other personal reasons.
Anyway, I decided to restart the flare! I decided to give my blog another kick start. And my grey cells up there. I want to convey my thoughts through this blog again. It's been long since I really wrote a decent article.
So be sure to look out for more real soon! xD
