Dubai Daily Photo: Something Wicked This Way Comes

February 16, 2007

I quit almost a year ago and 100% think it's great not smoking - so why does this look so cool? Damn those clever marketing people...

You see this pristine looking guy - white shining clothes, immaculate beard, clear skin. And you see this clear(ish - probably dusty!) sky and empty, pristine sand.

Then there's this thing hanging out of his mouth that you know is going to end up on the sand and foul it.

And it reduces him from this image of Bedouin nobility and dignity to something kind of trailer trash. Suddenly, he's not noble, he's just dirty and low-grade looking. Sad.; 10:36 pm, February 16, 2007
