Confusing or Ingenious?





How Do You Know?


Baby, I gotta go watch Lebron do a triple double.

Boy, I don't even know what you just said.

Dial Down Your Drama

This advertisement in the mall is just weird.

Take a good look at it before proceeding, reader. It's such a strange and hilarious ad.

Such a nonsensical billboard must have had a higher purpose. So I visited www.bom411.com. It's actually a pretty ambitious site to help youth couples through their troubles (or "drama") by offering advice from specialists and other teens. The site is geared towards preventing emotional and physical abuse and promoting strong relationships.

"BOM" is an acronym for "Boss of Me," implying a sense of self-confidence and choice while still maintaining that youthful rhetorical edge.

I felt kinda bad for laughing at an ad for a worthy cause.

And that got me thinking. Maybe the ad was designed to be crazy. Though it was confusing, perhaps it was ingenious in its insanity as it would attract people, like me, to visit their website.

Hmm.

I'm too tired to think about this now. I'm going to go watch Lebron do a triple double.
