Pantone Craze

Designer’s items are like a big private joke to the world.

 

Everybody is talking about the latest Rubitone (Pantone Rubik’s cube). But what about a nice Panton Mug? Much more useful, since you drink at least a dozen coffee per day.

All of this feels like we’re some kind of secret army, waiting in the dark to tell un-understandable jokes such as “Go to Hell, vetica!” or “Ah! You’re badly kerned this morning”. If by chance, you’re also part geek, biker, cheerleader, or any other human group (yeah, shit happens.) you’re probably surrounded by those subtles yet incredibly oppressive private jokes. It makes us feel special, huh.

    I know right. People are so crazy about the Pantone’s Rubik cube, it’s all over the blogsphere.
    Hehe, you’re so sarcastic and cynical I love it! :)

    ^^ Yeah, “blogosphere” as we say in french, is a quite strange microcosm where everything goes faster than fire on gunpowder. In a week or so, we’re all going to talk about another incredible trend and we’ll all have forgotten this one. I call this trends consumerism :)

    And about “sarcastic and cynical”, yeah, that’s the mood of the moment… It seems that so much things are going the wrong way today. Blogging is a good way to express yourself and shout at the world. But I’d much prefer to be slightly nicer !! That would be a good sign for my inner peace, ahah.
