Camel Plan, anyone?

This falls under one of those things that might raise your virtual eyebrows.

In an advertising effort for their new animal plans (?), orange are launching the world's first internet ballon race.
Why? Because it's kinda cool. And I suppose the balloons you can blow up represent their plan structure.

Every Site that signs up to it gets a sweet little orange balloon icon at the bottom right corner, signaling that they are taking part in the race.

I wonder how the hell they intend to choose the winner? Cyberwind? You have to sit in front of a Nintendo DS all day, blowing at the mike? Spinning cooler fans on their servers? Hmmm. Mysteries and mystifications.



Somehow, the image that presents itself reminds me of the parade of dreams in Satoshi Kons Paprika. But then again, so many things do these days.

IGAF: An ahistoric crisis?

One of the many reasons I have grown to appreciate interviews with Arundhati Roy over the last year of what I'm calling her book tour is that, in contrast with many speakers at conferences and interviewees, I never have the feeling she is trying to sell me something. She speaks in a calm, collected voice, full of knowledge, experience and occasional wisdom, without being desperately full of herself. One of my favourite sayings is, so far, goes something like "The most successful revolution was the secession of the rich onto a global planet, wherefrom they cannot see the poor. There is no more India, no more USA, no more Europe- there is planet Rich, then there is planet Poor, and both are global."* Carers at their limits- now more than ever. For €2400 and some chocolates?  A month or so into what may be a new normal, my life is still pleasant- with some adjustment, I am, so far, privileged in this absence of change and an ability to follow the crisis as I would fol...

The Books of Faragh Vol. 3: Of March 2020

The May Issue is available at  Modern Graphics in Oranienstr., Berlin.  It's all about lines.  Below: The April Issue of the Book of Faragh.  The comic I chose for this month was "L'Arabe du Futur 2 (1984—1985)" by Riad Sattouf. If the first volume is anything to go by, the second one (in French this time) should continue to be a thought-provoking journey through a youth in Syria and France.
