Inspired by the the work of Alex Noriega (http://www.snotm.com/) and Banksy's take on advertising (http://banksy.co.uk/) some random thoughts about brands and facebook. Images are from all over the Internet. If you see one that is yours and you want me to take it down let me know :-) http://thecuriousbrain.com/ if you want a copy pls sent me an email at thecuriousbrain (at)gmail.com http://www.paywithapost.de/pay?id=e773e772-db3a-4677-8d99-ed0f53769cd6

2. A brand will never
wipe your tears
or even care
if you are sad!

3. A brand will never buy you dinner

4. A brand will never take you out dancing

5. A brand will never keep you
company when you feel lonely

6. A brand will never be
as loyal as your dog

7. or playful
and funny
like your
cat!

8. A brand will never be there to catch you if you fall!

9. A brand will
never marry you

10. A brand will never visit you at the hospital
when you are really sick

11. The ugly truth is that a brand
A brand will
never attend
your funeral

12. You can’t really form any real
relationship with a brand

13. Thus it is safe to say
that a brand
will never
support you
and it will never
care for you,
as a real friend does!

14. However what a brand does best
is to follow you around everywhere
and all the time
just like your shadow

15. Brands are
with you
even in your
most private
moments!

16. They touch
you in your
most private
places

17. You use them
on your skin

18. On your loved one’s

19. You consume
them daily
and you
put them
inside your
body

20. You wear them
all the time in fact
you are wearing
one now !

21. Brands know
your every move
and collect your personal
and private data from here ..

22. and here

23. They know almost
everything about you
!

24. In fact they know you better
than you actually know your self

25. They know
every little secret
that you have

26. They know
your deepest fears

27. and they know how to dictate
and invade your dreams!

28. !
It extremely
easy for them
today
to manipulate
your image

29. and your self worth

30. since you gave them
access to everything!

31. They now have all the power!

32. !
“ You see them make flippant comments
from buses that imply you’re not sexy enough
and that all the fun is happening somewhere else”
*Banksy

33. “They leer at you from tall buildings
and make you feel small”
*Banksy

34. “They are on TV making
you and your girlfriend
feel inadequate”
*Banksy

35. Sometimes
they disguise
as caring

36. and sometimes as green

37. But the truth is
that the most
of them show

38. the majority still care
only for their profits!

39. With friends
like these
who needs
enemies?

40. & brands

41. “You owe these brands
nothing. Less than
nothing, you especially
don’t owe them any
courtesy. They owe you”.
*Banksy

42. Your like matters
and it is the ultimate
defense mechanism
you have against them!

43. Like the brands that
treat you better !

44. Like the
brands
that are
cheaper &
affordable!

45. Like the brands that
entertain you more

46. Like the
brands that
offer back
something
of real value
to you!

47. Like the
brands that
work harder
and more
ethically
for your
attention!

48. It should be
the people
controlling
the brands
not the
other way
around.
It is time
to use their
“friendship”
to your
advantage
