Ermine says Ferdinand.Is that Ferdinand II? Christopher Columbus?

John II of Portugal as portrayed in Civ4 (whom I paired with Isabella of Castile in my Civ4 story). For some reason, he's shown wearing a medal that's stamped with something closely resembling the coat of arms of Castile-Leon. Thus, I had the idea of having Isabella wear a pendant with the coat of arms of Portugal.Is that Ferdinand II? Christopher Columbus?
Where is this from ?Oh yay, I did stumble across one of my old avatars: View attachment 683905
Originally-ish my avatars were of Rommie the character (played by Lexa Doig) in the tv series Andromeda. Then I found this pic of her, cooler than the Rommie pics, and so I started using it instead. No idea where or what show it was from, though.Where is this from ?
So who is that guy?My avatar is from a documentary my buddy Ivan made about a startup I was a part of in New York in the early '80s. I thought it was okay, but it didn't do very well at the box office.
Me? Nope.You seriously don't remember the TV ads from back then? The no-ghosts agency? It had a catchy jingle and all: ‘Who you gonna call? The Ghostbusters!’.
Somebody posted the old tv ad on YouTube. My performance was a little wooden, looking back on it.You seriously don't remember the TV ads from back then? The no-ghosts agency? It had a catchy jingle and all: ‘Who you gonna call? The Ghostbusters!’.
It'd be a bit better if you hadn't been so obviously looking at the cue marks on the ground.My performance was a little wooden, looking back on it.
That makes me lol every time.Ah, that's the HQ version.

The more I think about that ad, the more I think Bonyduck got it right: this is an anti-advertisement. It will drive away the people it's designed to appeal to.
Anyone who does some art doesn't want to see the elements of their art crushed. A better ad would just be one artist after another placing the materials of their art into the ipad and it magically gobbles them all up.
I identify with that last doll, whose eyes pop out of its head in bewilderment and distress as he gets his head crushed.
I can't remember when I've so powerfully identified with a particular character.This absolutely bizarre iPad advertisement
Is there such a thing as the opposite of an advertisement?
