lying in electronic chalk

example: psa for crossing the road with headphones on

analysis:
yes, yet another psa. i think this will be the last psa i analyze, because all these important and serious issues, one right after the other, is starting to get me down. well, it's that, or this horrible SAD that i may potentially have.

to warn against the dangers of crossing the street with your headphones on, they directed a young man to lie down on the wet pavement, and then strategically laid out the white headphones from his ipod in what appears to be a mock chalk outline of his splayed body. this clever use of headphones is awesome, and really connects the concept of wearing headphones with the now-inaudible dangers of the road.

actually, i think they probably just photoshopped the electronic chalk outline, because the pictured headphone wires are unbelievably long.

and i quote the author of the wordpress blog 1%, the source of this example:
"death never looked so trendy."
