Flip

Browsing through today's The Star, I came across an ad from AmIslamic Bank that I found extremely amusing (come on, who could miss one page of bright and beautiful garish?) which had this picture:
What is wrong with this picture?
Look again, notice anything wrong with the picture?
Now, despite the ITCHING temptation to be mean and nasty, I'm going to attempt to quell all (hah!) racist/sexist comments... and not blame the Malay lady or anything for the flop; it was probably the photographer/art director who needs to be shot, really... and who knows? Dude could be very well Chinese, right?
But then again, since this country is famous for her bias slants and racist favors, it could swing either way on who got the job :P
Anyway, if you haven't noticed already: the camera is backwards.
Yes, backwards.
Now, maybe I'm the stupid assflute but I am damn sure that the family in that ad aren't looking through the photo album. They are TAKING a picture, FFS! COME ON. Hubby is all smiles... mom is flashing her pearly whites like her life depends on it and the kids look like, well, how kids look like when they've been smiling for way too long waiting for their picture to be taken.
And who looks at pictures on a digicam five hundred fucking feet away? Do you??
Just because I am too, a woman (holding her head in her hands in shame at the stupidity of the picture, mind you) and attempting to NOT say something along the lines of oh, how laziness/ignorance/stupidity/unfounded sense of pride is deemed somewhat excusable in certain races by the "people up there" who were probably smoking too much crack, I'm just going to be a bitch and blame the photographer.
Also, who approves ads like these?
