design24seven: The other side of Jon

This Blog will be a selection of things I like, things that are going through my head (they've gotta go somewhere!) and things that inspire me and... things?!? It may end up pointless, it might come in handy or it could end up entertaining, I couldn't tell you?

TED Ideas Worth Spreading



Hello :)

Right, sometimes I go on to TED (http://www.ted.com/) to check out some mental futuristic technology that I will never be able to afford to even see in real-life and to get some inspiration because I do that sometimes. So... Im on TED, click on Design, and see this for a title: 'How Pig parts make the world turn'. So I thought, this is either gonna be ridiculous, or genius, either way... im Blogging that mofo!

Heres the link to the video:
http://www.ted.com/talks/christien_meindertsma_on_pig_05049.html
But its not that good so dont watch it! Haha

Basically, it has a good point that pigs aren't just used for meat, there used in loads of things like toothpaste, bread, paint, BEER... But this woman (Christien Meindertsma... shes Dutch), followed a Pig for 3years to see like what happened to it and stuff, then made it into a book, and the book looks cool, she got the pigs ear tag on it and everything, so I like that.

But the point of me putting this in my blog is:
1. I already decided before I watched it
2. To point everybodys attention to ted.com
3. Because I love bacon and gammon
4. To ask the question:
If Pigs are part of this many things, other than bacon, isnt it a bit hypocritical for Vegetarians to not eat meat, but slap paint around containing part of a Pig, with a paintbrush which has Pig in. So there just... spreading dead Pig, with a Pig!?!

Think about it... or ignore... it makes no difference.

Thank you, Goodnight
