Strange, steamy, sexist, soleful...

It's the weekend and we shouldn't be pondering over weighty stuff, so let's lighten up.

First, here's another strange name for an entity:

Association of Criminal Lawyers of Singapore.

It must be that problem I keep having with, say, "plastic surgeons" and "child psychiatrists" whenever I'm down with literalitis. Newspaper ads, like this one below, always make my affliction flare up...

Pigeon Steam Sterilizer? There must be something here about pigeon's steam (whatever that is) but I don't think I want to know more. So, next...

Fresh salmon, so fresh because they are "air-flown". But, hey, is there any other way to fly, or be flown? "Sea-flown"? "Land-flown"?

Ikea often has catchy ads, but I wonder if some people will find this one here sexist:

There are, of course, good, tasteful, ads that use the "woman angle", such as this one from the Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD):

 This SUTD ad makes the point that it was a woman who came up with the world's first effective windscreen wiper design for motor cars. Clever!

To wrap up, here's a streetside shoe repairer's clever play on words:

It sure gives a new twist to the term SOS -- Save Our Soles!
