Apparently I attract weird people.

I love you, Lina. :)

"What do you want to unbutton?"

The back of the salesperson t-shirt for the Levi’s Jeans vendor at Singapore’s Changi Airport reads “What do you want to unbutton?” in hard and bold letters.  Are they referring to their jeans? Do I want to unbutton their jeans? Do Levi’s consumers want to unbutton their jeans?

If the answer to the slogan question is “Levi’s jeans!”—because, you know, there is no way to answer that question other than the name of product itself—this would be very counterproductive. Shouldn’t the slogan be “What do you want to button?”?

Asking consumers “what do you want to unbutton?” with an answer of “Levi’s Jeans” as something I want to unbutton indicates:
1.    I am very uncomfortable when I am wearing Levi’s Jeans.
2.    They are so uncomfortable, I’d rather not buy them.

Is this reverse psychology?
Should I stop questioning and just punch them in their jeans?

Book #10/2009.
I’m going to be reading this on my flight back to a land that doesn’t exist in my head. I’m a bit sick, so if I get quarantined out of swine flu suspicion, at least I have a book that’s going to keep me laughing and laughing.

Alex bought a mouse. Displays it to the whole world.
(He did this for 3 minutes before I start filming, and kept on going for another 10.)
