What's the difference between what people, or things created by people,say and what they mean? Why is that difference often so great? This blog about media,the psychology of consumer behaviour, visual communications,and the strange cultural history of advertising will investigate what things say and what they mean and what that says about the strange strange world that is us.

Camera hog Squirrel goes viral- Squirrel gets ad campaign
How long does it take for a camera hogging squirrel to get a whole ad campaign?
The week of August 10th we saw a photo transmitted around the world of an Alberta squirrel who played spoiler for an American couples photo.
In only days the Alberta squirrel popped into the Real Banff ad campaign.
From the youtube posting, "The famous Photobomber Squirrel of Banff National Park now on film, doing his photobomb routine throughout the Park. The Crasher Squirrel in the famous picture has been showing up all around the Park. He's nuts in front of the camera. The Banff Crasher Squirrel has appeared on TV and in newspapers around the world, including CBC and CNN and the Banff Crasher Squirrel has sparked a wave of photoshop photos and avatars making Banff Crasher Squirrel the latest internet celebrity."
