Browsed and Shot

Last week while waiting for a meeting, this tabloid headline caught my attention. I wondered what the story behind "I Love My Rapist" was. As I should have expected... There really was no psychoanalysis in the article, i.e. how a victim could have fallen in love with the abuser. However to my surprise, the lead was so graphic, more precisely, pornographic. Tighter shot of the lead after the jump.

The words!

Did your eyes just enlarge word after word?

On a definitely more wholesome note, a friend and I watched Hannah Montana: The Movie last night. I remembered I took a shot of a back-to-school ad featuring Hannah Montana shoes weeks ago. Here it is.

Step on Hannah!

I don’t get it why the character/ celebrity was printed on the insole. Is this pair for haters? Step on the Hannah? Let her smell your feet all day in school? :P

Tell me what you think of either newspaper shots.

Timing and Placement

Last Tuesday, Julian Carlo Miguel Alcantara, a 10-year-old Ateneo Grade School student, was killed in a shocking vehicular accident on the school ground's parking lot. The photo above shows a follow-up story in the Inquirer and a Hi-Ace ad on top. Coincidentally, the vehicle that hit the boy was a Hi-Ace.

Talk about timing and ad positioning.

On a more serious note, this statement from the boy's dad, Fernando, struck me: "I just wanted to see the face of the person who took away someone so precious.”

Adds to the depth of the whole tragedy.
