With every single day that passes I become more thankful that I escaped from the village of the damned when I did. Case in point, I snagged the following graphic from the recently reskinned and semi-portalized gettyimages.com home page. I realize that this example is but one of several messages that cycle on the page, but could someone possibly explain what slice of the market they are targeting with this? Is it the consumers of baked goods? The after-school birthday party demographic? The Russian constructivist-inspired creative director with a certain gastronomic craving?I want chocolate cake. Huh?If you want chocolate cake, you need a Vachon Jos. Louie, not some lame-ass digital content provider. Please tell me that I’m not the only person who finds this particular concept and execution beyond the realm of stupid. Please.
