While we're on the subject of nudists, here's a recent commercial from Ogilvy London for Comfort fabric softener, in which a nudist returns home to find his wife and best friend fully clothed, passionately sniffing each other's Comfort-scented attire. The tagline: "Makes clothes irresistible."

somewhat marred by the advertising, but gotta love the idea!

When cars were first invented, they didn’t have blinkers. It was only after the fact that people studying the effect that cars had on society said “hey, it looks like people keep crashing every time the person in front of them turns. Too bad we can’t figure out a way for the cars to signal their intention before they turn so that people can stop in time.”
And then they solved the problem....

...some day I would like to be the type of person that invents the blinker.

made me smile

seems like a nice little feature, and definitely something we'd like to see from more photo sharing apps (we're looking at you, Flickr).

Anyone can put together symbols and words (and show some proverbial skin), but more challenging—and maybe more risky—is bringing humanity to design.
