though I'm enjoying the debate/banter, the desire that seems to manifest itself on this forum and I'm finding in general internet life, for everything to be perfect, and the pointing out of all mistakes, however small/slight/insignificant, seems like a really cheap way of saying I'm smarter/better than you, because I saw this and pointed it out and whoever made it was a hack, an inexpert, unskilled photsoshop monkey.
Or even just being plain old cynical and universally saying everything that isn't produced by my excellent self or the really smart people I know is shit.
Does it take away from the idea, does it piss you off to the extent that you want to boycott all adidas products, or find out who the designer/photographer was and email them to let them know of your displeasure.
Its an ad! One which I think tells a very cool bike related tale, and it seems that posting that tale up on the forum just makes it fodder for anal nitpicking. Do you like it, yes or no? Does it make you want to get down to herne hill and draft like a motherfucker? does it get you excited about the olympics and the GB teams chances? Or is it all about the mistakes.
Lots of bods on the forum are designer types, and that informs everything you do and to question and critique other design work is expected, but when thats all you do, whenever an image comes up doesn't that drain the enjoyment out of looking at anything? When do you switch the critiquing off? Can you ever?
I posted said ad to generate debate about the track competition at the olympics, about how the sport is gaining a higher profile, more track success leading to a possible GB team in the TdF, a greater awareness of track bikes, and hopefully a more balanced view of the history and culture around them, but I just get a reaction like this.
Cornelius, don't worry about it, it is just an aside, nothing to worry about, I bet Gabes made his 'clone fail' post and thought nothing of it, just a passing comment, I can same the same for most of my posts.
Calm down, have a fag (if you don't smoke start today on the patches) and a cup of coffee. :P
