Tribute to Obama

Mustafa Topaloglu is a Turkish folk song singer. He did this song as a tribute to U.S. President Barack Obama. The song is both in Turkish and in English, if you wait 'til the end you'll see subtitles. Enjoy :

Hope - Obama - Tbox

After this ad from the Turkish bank Garanti, it's now the turn of the Turkish clothing brand T-Box to copy Shepard Fairey's poster "Hope".

The ad says : "Hope Dedik". in Turkish, "hop dedik" means "we said : enough !", but with a word play it says "we said : hope". "Our only hope is T-Box".





















By the way, concerning the Garanti ad, President Obama was in Istanbul last week and he must have been surprised to see his portrait like that all over the city.

Turkish Obama in Garanti Bank Ads

Istanbul, Turkey : U.S. President Barack Obama is all over the city, all over the country, in the streets, on the radio and on TV. This is of course a fake. This is a commercial for the Turkish Bank Garanti, promoting a loan interest support of 1.19 %. They shot the commercial as if the real U.S. president was himself promoting this bank. This is so cheap. I'm pretty sure most of the uneducated population here, in Turkey, believe it's the real one. Note the resemblance with Shepard Fairey's Obama.

Are You A Nonbeliever?

After Obama's mention of "Nonbelievers" in his inaugural address I posted a note online thanking him for the shout-out. I was pleasantly surprised by the level of positive feedback and my friend Charlie went so far as to say he thought, "the first person who makes an American Non-Believer shirt will make a lot of money". So I've decided to test out his theory!

My friend Mari, who has just started her own environmentally friendly T-shirt printing company, Native Land Promotion Co., was willing to give the design a chance.

So why not proclaim your apparent lack of belief to the world (and support a new small business in the process) by buying your very own "Nonbeliever" shirt for a mere $10 Short Sleeve/$12 Long Sleeve by using the PayPal buttons below...

They even have an appropriately modified "O" logo. The site features daily images as well as free stencils, contests, and more. This video shows a selection of the submissions...
