Flog It Blog It, Snapping Happy On Freaky Friday!


This National Geographic advertisement is probably the scariest thing we have seen in a long while. The graphic appears at the foot of an escalator in Brazil, advertising a programme called Mundo Salvagem de Richard Rasmussen and featuring the tagline  'ready for an adventure through the Brazilian forests?’ The optical illusion consists of a 3D drawing of a crocodile jumping out of water at the bottom of the escalator creating a somewhat unnerving image for those about to disembark. We think it is very clever but would sure put us off going to the forests of Brazil in a heartbeat. Would you go down the escalator with that at the bottom?


Have a fabulous freaky Friday all.

We just like to say a big thank you to Austin for this award and we will pop it onto our awards page with pride.

  1. If that had been a cockroach instead of the crocodile, we're pretty sure Mommy would have turned around and run back up and taken the stairs.

  2. Of course, dear Molly, I'd jump on the crocodile and bite his ear off! What? Mom says the have no ears to bite on? That's very bad! As you know I have some practice at the time! So I must now think a new strategy, but I definitely would!

  6. That is very clever, but I don't think I'd be keen to use the escalator! It doesn't encourage me to visit where it lives either!

  15. We were relieved not to see a real live alligator walking up the steps of the escalator. Mom dislikes the Mall enough as it is. Seeing something like that climbing up the stairs would have unnerved her forever. When she was a kid, her uncle told her there were alligators living at the bottom of the swimming pool. After that, she could never learn to dive because she was too afraid. Have a great weekend. Purrs and paw-pats, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo

  23. Holly Bully Sticks! That is scary! We would have trouble heading towards it and would probably try to jump over it rather than step on it!

  25. I would enjoy the ad but it wouldn't stop us because I've held an alligator in Florida. I love drawings/art work like that because they look so real.
    Have a great weekend.

  31. My hubs makes fun of me cuz I am a bit afraid of down escalators, but there's one where I'd have a good reason to be a scaredy cat! (It's actually pretty cool! Thanks for sharing.)

    ReplyDelete
  32. That would surely be one escalator that we would challenge ourselves to run up even though it was going down!

    Happy weekend.
