Comune di Nettuno: Fatigue

Comune di Nettuno: Fatigue

Why risk? Stay focused when you drive.In 2010 in Italy, 4.000 people died in road accidents. 25,5% of these is caused by distraction at driving. Be careful, it?s not worth risking.

The worst nightmares to get true can be: the police, surgery, or also a funeral. So we chose to represent these three moments of risk, to warn people as they get into their cars.

Tattoo an Ecko Logo and Get 20% Off For Life

Multiple tattoos does not entitle the consumer to more than one 20% discount. Not valid on bulk buys." -- found on one of deal aggregator sites

This Is Your Brain On Apple


A BBC Secrets of the Brands documentary looks into how one Apple fan's brain reacts to the brand's iconography. Turns out "the Apple products are triggering the same bits of [Brooks'] brain as religious imagery triggers in a person of faith."

Back in 2004, Douglas Atkin in his The Culting of Brands (aff link) drew similar parallels between religious cults and brands that enjoy very enthusiastic following, Apple in particular; I posted about the book here.
