"RESTROOM NEEDS CLEANING"



Is this a warning or a reminder? I was standing in line at the Wal*Mart customer service desk when I happen to glance-up and read this unusual sign, RESTROOM NEEDS CLEANING. I understand why the sign exists, but why is located on the ceiling above the customers heads instead of behind the counter or inside the managers office? Is it there to warn customers of impending danger? Or was it subliminally suggesting I buy cleaning supplies? My restroom could use a cleaning.

"...this is going to change everything!"


I would imagine that anyone with a television has viewed the new iPhone commercials with the voice-over that states "and that's when you realize, this is going to change everything." I was born in 1966 and "survived" the days of corded phones, analog television and typewriters. For the past twenty years, I have wondered when the hell engineers were going to invent the Star Trek Communicator. You know...that gadget that pretty much did everything for the crew of the Enterprise. From what I understand, the Star Trek Communicator was the inspiration behind the iPod and the iPhone. Although hundreds of the iPhone/iPod applications are simply worthless, many are freaking out-of-this-world. The application SHAZAM has the ability to listen to a song, recognize the artist then download the music and the YouTube video onto your iPod or your iPhone in a matter of seconds. I use this application pretty much everyday. When I was 18 years old these gadgets weren't even perceived. Apple has tapped into a cultural phenomenon with the iPod and the iPhone and they along with TBWA/Chiat/Day are definitely "changing everything."
