Changing Times


Changing Colours

Tonight I went to James Bond for a second time Such a great film. Anyway, a couple o the adverts before the film really made me think.

The first was an advert for a Remmington shaver and the end line was 'it's what' on the outside that matters'. It made me think where have we got to as a race? It seems that we are completely tied up in this idea that what we have, what we own and what we look like is all that life is about. What ever happened to what is on the inside? I am really only worth as much as my clothes?

The second advert was along the same lines but right now I am strugling to remember what they were forcing upon me. If anyone has seen tha James Bond film recently then let me know what the ad was.

I am just struggling with the fact that we seem to no longer care what people are like but just what they look like. I want to know people, to get to understand them and why they think what they do. I want to learn from them and have my life enriched because I have spent time getting to know them Of cours I will only do this if they wear designer clothes, have the latest phone and ipod and all the melarky!

Yes, if I may, I feel like we've always had this problem as a race, it seems kinda innate. But yeah with all the media bombardment maybe it is more intense nowadays.

Seems that way to me.

And if we are only worth the price of our clothes where does it leave us? Prob about £2.50 for yourself, eh...? ;-) Sound
