    They’re selling 3D software.

    For Blender’s audience it’s completely appropriate.
    But if run in Cosmopolitan or Lady’s Home Journal it would probably cause quite a stir.

    Sorry, wrong Blender, Billy Bob.

    Blender is a concept store in Istanbul similar to Colette in Paris or Dover Street Market in London that also has a butcher shop in it.

    Advertising Agency: Rafineri, Istanbul,Turkey

    See: http://tinyurl.com/cout6ou

    But that begs the question, what is a concept store?

    My research suggests a concept store is where snooty people will reluctantly sell you ugly haute couture for mucho dinero. And this one appears to be aimed at Istanbul’s non vegetarian tag hags.

    Either way, it’s something our old buddy Jeffrey Dahmer would want.

    I don’t care who the client is….that’s disturbing. Have you heard about the case against the NYPD cop, of course, who is being tried because he really wanted to kill and cook some women, including his wife? Just noting.

    Ginsu knives!

    Oh, and Blender the 3D software is not for sale. It’s free. Go ahead and download it and play around for a few years. You could make a new career out of it!

    Holy shit. I was going to snark ‘butcher shop’.

    but it ACTUALLY IS?!?!?!?!?

    there’s something all kinds of wrong about portraying a woman as – literally- a slab of meat.

    Although on a conceptual level, it’s not much different from nearly all advertising.

    I’ll take the second piece from the the left, thanks. Don’t bother to wrap it; I’ll eat it here.
