My friend Doug sent me a link to this video this morning as he knows how much I love Broadway…and the Internet. It got me thinking about how strange it would be to try to explain the concepts of the World Wide Web and social media to people in the 1950’s. Where would we start?

I’m a sucker for European style. There’s something about the tradition that goes into so much of their artistry that just moves me and makes me feel connected to my ancestors—most of the time.
When I saw this ad I was first shocked, admittedly thinking to myself, “Is this what happens when Bavarian painters play practical jokes?“ But, as I explored the image a bit more it started to grow on me. I’m not sure if it is the fact that the Mom’s dress matches the paint in the kitchen, or that her red apron draws the viewers eye directly to the middle of the page (where the focus is the bright white refrigerator,) but I dig it. It makes me want to have jaeger schnitzel and twirl around on a country mountain top.
A thought to leave you with…why is it that so many refrigerator ads feature a full-size ham AND Jell-O molds in the image?

I’m 100% confident that this will be the topic of a serious musical in about 20-30 years.
