Blip: Ta-Da!

Image for article titled Blip: Ta-Da!

This picture from an old Opel Rekord brochure is unusual in that it’s a photo with what appears to be some sort of host? Usually, a host is only needed for time- and audio-enhanced media, since in a printed brochure the text itself tends to act as the sort of MC for the brochure, so I’m not sure what the hell that guy is doing there.

Maybe he’s Tranzluco, the dapper wizard that makes things transparent with a wave of his hand! He can see your junk! Run!

Turning Right on Red Pits Environmental Concerns Against Safe Street Advocates
“See this here? He’s turning right on a red. That is America’s only contribution to Western Civilization,” Jeremy Clarkson once said on an episode of Top Gear. Maybe he’s right. Turning on a red is a uniquely American style of driving with an interesting place in our push to...

We Will Finally Get to See the Next Need For Speed This Thursday
Need For Speed. It’s the racing genre’s equivalent of The Simpsons: beloved upon its inception and unbeatable in its prime, only to lose the magic long ago, to the point where there have been far more middling years than good ones. Inconsistency has been the one constant, though the...
