Olympus Aids Breast-Obsessed Men

With Super Bowl XLII behind us, we can now turn our attention to more pressing matters in the advertising business: the use of female cleavage and breast-obsessed men to sell stuff. Yea, yea, yea, who wants to read another story about some stupid ad that uses boobs to sell stuff? Oh, you do? OK, let’s continue then.

Where were we? Oh, staring at boobs…uh…rather writing about boobs. Sorry. We are easily distracted…sort of like the four guys in this Olympus E-3 ad who can’t help themselves from staring at this woman’s breasts which spill forth as she leans over to adjust her shoe. Come on guys, you know you do it all the time. Your eyes immediately dart downward while at the same time you try to maintain some sort of respectful, non-gawker-like look on your face. And you wish you had a camera at that exact second to take a perfect pictures of that perfect…uh…pair.

Well, thanks to the Olympus E-3, which claims to have the fastest auto focus, now you can. Although you’re still going to look like a pervert with a camera aimed directly down the woman’s shirt. When Olympus can give us glasses or contact lenses with an embedded camera, you’ll at least look less like a perv and you’ll help Flickr become an even more interesting place.

I’m in my 50s and I recently apologized to my adult child for something I did when they were twelve. They said they didn’t remember it. The thing that broke me wasn’t their forgiveness — it was learning I’d carried guilt for decades over a wound that only existed in my body.

Research suggests people over 60 who keep an immaculate home but feel chaotic inside aren’t contradicting themselves, they’re compensating — the external order is a containment strategy for internal disorder, and the cleaner the surfaces the more likely it is that something underneath is being managed through control because it can’t be managed through expression

Nobody talks about why turning 60 feels more significant for women than men – it’s the age when culture stops pretending you’re sexually viable and you have to rebuild your entire sense of worth from scratch

I’m 65 and I’ve started just admitting immediately when I forget someone’s name instead of pretending I remember — and what shocked me is how many people say they forgot mine too, and how much lighter the conversation feels when we stop performing perfect recall

I have a perfectly good smartphone with a notes app I know how to use, but every Sunday I still write my weekly tasks on a piece of paper that sits on my kitchen counter — because at 65, I’ve learned that seeing something in my own handwriting makes me accountable to myself in a way a screen notification never could

Research suggests the retirees who report the highest life satisfaction aren’t the ones who finally relax — they’re the ones who found a purpose that exists independent of achievement, recognition, or being needed
