Fashion Police

Shawn of the Dead – great flick. Real good piss take of British society. I couldn’t help but draw the analogy with ‘The Office’ and its too-close-to-home humour (it's really true isn't it?).

In the UK everybody that comes to the office are clones, same brick houses, same ties and shirts (always purple – how gay is that?). What happened to individuality?

Speaking of which, apparently there are real fashion police on the border of France that are regularly checking for ‘fakes’ – fake Gucci, Prada etc…and they know! People are getting pinged for buying fake goods.

Now all I can imagine is that anyone that’s been to Thailand would have to walk that border control virtually naked…no more Playboy shirt, genuine imitation Rolex, fake Levis…tragedy.

If all minds thought alike, would we still get innovation? Genius can also be defined as: = intuis (wisdom) = cognis (knowledge) = technis (practical ability) and in addition, those people are often in possession of a 'special vision'. How valid is an IQ test? IQ? Is it just a social construct? What does it measure exactly - capability/cognitive ability? What about emo...
