Ahead of the game
So I'm driving down the road on Wednesday, headed for this place:
When I see this:
And immediately I think to myself, That looks like the back of Michael Jordan's head on that truck!
And then I think to myself, How do I know that? And then, Am I right?
So I speed up and I see that I have indeed identified MJ's head from about ten car lengths.
And I think to myself, That is scary. Imagine being so famous that people can identify the BACK of your HEAD from a long way off.
The back of the man's head is an icon unto itself. So much so, they can use it as an advertisement.
I can't get my head around that. I'm not sure I'd recognize the back of my own head in a similar setting.
TG used to drag me to Chicago in the middle of winter to see Michael Jordan throw a basketball around with his (MJ's) black millionaire friends. He (MJ) appeared to be about an inch tall from where we sat ... in the cheap seats.
Now his HEAD is fifteen feet tall on the back of a truck in front of me.
That is just ... weird.

I'm with u!!! I wouldn't be able to identify my own head either!!
I would recognize the back of my own head but that's only because I have such fantastic hair. :P
Jordan would've been my first guess too but I just want to know who the heck came up with THAT as an ad campaign? I would've loved to have sit through that marketing meeting and say, "Really? The back of his head? What does that MEAN?". Maybe that's why I'm not in advertising. I would only make ads that make sense.
Hahahaaaaaa.....Only YOU!
hughugs
That is so funny!
Crystal ... see? I knew I was right about that!
Althing ... I have pretty good hair too, but still ... and you are so on point re: advertising. I still can't figure out what that means. Maybe they're trying to subliminally sell to men the idea that if you wear MJ cologne, you'll be as cool as him even from the back. Either way, it's lame.
Donna ... I must amuse myself on road trips! LOLOL
Mari ... it did strike me as humorous too! AHA! Says I. Next blog post in the can!~
That is weird.
