The Working Cute

I love the diaphramic lift I feel when I look at truly cute things, I enjoy advertising, and I'm delighted by the combination of the two!

In autumn, hedgehogs update their laptops. Budapest, Hungary

Almond-filled pastry pet. Vienna, Austria

It's nice when the puns you made as a child finally come true. Vienna, Austria

The Tele2 spokesheep, Frank, is also apparently a killing machine from the future. Stockholm, Sweden

Food, Hilarious Food

A wise and clever foodie once assured me she starts learning any new language with food and kitchen words. I love food, I enjoy advertising, and I love humor in translation, especially when I can't tell if it's intentional!

"Angry Korean Fried Chicken ... So, So Angry" in Berlin, Germany

"Kakastöke Pörkött ... Rooster Testicle Stew" in Budapest, Hungary

"Holy Monkey! ... Tea & Dumplings" in Stockholm, Sweden

"Lovely Toffee Muffin ... Lovely Strawberry Muffin" in Östersund, Sweden

"Daffy's Junkfood House" in Östersund, Sweden

"Godstransporter" Restaurant pager at Daffy's in Östersund -- OK, I know it translates to "freight,"
and that's perfectly reasonable for one of those vibratey alert pucks they give you at restaurants,
but wouldn't it be better if it was a kind of divine Trek-transporter device? Yes, it would.
