Popular Funny X-ray Pin-Ups Calendar: Stripped to the Bone

*** Definitely this is a fit for the strange but true category and amusing too.
Views to date:  14, 158.  Thank you!





"Miss September" wears stiletto heels as she strikes a pose for the Eizo X-ray pinup calendar.


From Denny: It seems there is always someone thinking up new ways to shock us. This year's most provocative pin-up calendar features X-rayed not X-rated girls. Yes, you heard me right. Bizarre but true.

This 2010 pin-up calendar is the weird brain child of a German advertising agency called Butter. The idea was to promote Eizo's high-precision displays for medical imaging so they used X-rays to shoot the pin-up models.

The Butter Agency declares that "pin-ups are more often found in auto garages rather than in medical offices." I'll say. "Eizo breaks this taboo," Butter boasts. "This pinup calendar shows absolutely every detail."

Their ad promotion made quite a splash on the Coloribus ad archive recently. Ever since these bizarre pin-up photos have been making their rounds on the Internet like the bizarre version of a Playboy centerfold.

Apparently, this calendar is a promotion only kind of thing and is not available as an actual calendar though certainly plenty of guys have tried to procure one. When several emailed the company: "Sorry, you can't get it here. However, we appreciate the impact it has had on Eizo's U.S. brand recognition," the company wrote back.

What's next? First we have skeletal thin fashion models because of eating disorders and the beauty world's pressure to be too thin. Now we are gonna X-ray them too for display as pin-ups? Human sexuality has reached a new low for sure. :)



Here is the entire weird but funny calendar. Maybe they should have put out this ad calendar during the Halloween season:


Miss January






Miss February







Miss March






Miss April






Miss May






Miss June






Miss July






Miss August






Miss September






Miss October






Miss November






Miss December







Coloribus ad archive

x-ray exposure - Frequently used CT scans may raise cancer risk

skeletal fashion models - Why so skinny? Many models are not yet 16
Fashion insiders fret over eating disorders, discuss promoting fuller figures

*** When times are tough what do you do? Laughter is the best stress reliever! Here are 8 posts from this week's posts at Denny's blogs for you to enjoy.

From Denny: Between Colbert and Stewart, well, let's just say they have BP's shenanigans covered. Nothing gets past them!

In my ongoing effort to provide stress relief when the national conversation is so depressing - because of the BP Gulf Coast oil spill, a fragile economy and politicians who continually refuse to do right by the American people - we all need to keep laughing our way through these times until they get better. Trust that times will get better and they will. Until then, while we are in transition, we must develop coping skills for managing daily stress like making sure we are laughing often.

This is one of those times when it is true that "the pen is mightier than the sword" for the right kind of writing can bring relief to thousands in one moment over the internet. Pretty cool when you think about it. How many people can accomplish so much out of thin air? :)

The Funny Side of Allergy Season - Ahh, Choo!




I love pollen by brookenovak @ flickr


From Denny: Check out these just wonderful science facts about pollen from Science Daily:


* Under human-induced climate change we expect higher wind speeds and more frequent storms will move pollen and seeds even farther from the source.

* The older a tree gets, the more pollen it produces each year.

* Long-distance dispersal of transgenic pine pollen is a potential problem only if that pollen is viable.

* Until then, the highest pine pollen had ever been found in the atmosphere was 1000 feet

* The odd thing is that pollen germination did not decline as distance increased ... You would expect germination to gradually drop off as pollen floats further away, but that's not the case.

* Pine pollen can travel up to 1800 miles in a short amount of time.


OK, everyone, do you get the idea that the plant world just might be mad at humanity and this is their revenge? As it was I ran across a study of growing hay fever plants in a carbon dioxide rich environment that caused the plants to produce 61% more pollen. Supposedly, we cannot blame the sooty air all on car emissions as apparently plants and trees make up 80% of the pollution.

So, this is what humanity can expect, just in time for the 2012 predictions of the end of the world as we know it: Climate change is causing faster winds and more storms to blow pollen our way from the ends of the earth that we have never experienced. Trees on this planet are arriving in old age so they are having a last fling at reproducing themselves with the ladies so they are sending out Viagra moments at an alarming rate. Pine pollen is like a blood hound; it likes to travel ridiculously long distances and arrive on your doorstep.


Quote

* I used to wake up at 4 A.M. and start sneezing, sometimes for five hours. I tried to find out what sort of allergy I had but finally came to the conclusion that it must be an allergy to consciousness. - James Thurber

Funny Illusion Photo: The Art of Hiding Well



From Denny: This funny photo showed up on Digg yesterday so I'm passing it forward for the rest of the world to enjoy! This is truly the art of hiding well. Look closely... Don't you just love the art of illusion? In this case, it isn't mathematical or a visual illusion on paper but demonstrated in real life right before our eyes! :)

Quote: "This demonstrates the value of not being seen." - British comedian John Cleese
