Some impulse shopping at the grocery store

2

January 17, 2007 by Colin

 

Today,  I came across an animated gif used to illustrate a retail solution for an unnamed supplier. Even at first glance, there are some strange things going on in that shopping cart:

  1. Bread and eggs. Two different damn corners of the supermarket.
  2. Two big bottles of white wine. Are your friends coming over?
  3. Right beside the red peppers – is that a jar of Marshmallow Fluff?
  4. Two six-packs of Heineken. Are the significant others retreating to the home theatre?
  5. She has extremely stumpy legs, but
  6. A stylish A-line skirt and fitted t-shirt.
  7. And we finish with Karl Pilkington‘s head.

    She’s like a Stepford Wife made of Lego. Creepy, cool, and probably erotic for someone out there…

    Brilliant observations! I think I had 1,2 and 4 in my cart last week… and those moving legs with the non-moving upper body in the animation are downright creepy. It’s like FutureSex2088 or something.

    Liber generationis Jesu Christi

    “Lo, it is nearly 350 years that we and our fathers have inhabited this most lovely land, and never before has such terror appeared in Britain as we have now suffered from a pagan race, nor was it thought that such an inroad from the sea could be made. Behold, the church of St. Cuthbert spattered with the blood of the priests of God, despoiled of all its ornaments; a place more venerable than all in Britain is given as a prey to pagan peoples.”
