My Top Ten Favorite Fetishes
Arachibutyrophilia - Excessive interest in peanut butter.
"I discovered this when the couple that livedbeneath me got into a bit of trouble. They'd invited another couple to
join them, and the other female had a severe — and undiagnosed —
allergy to peanut butter. Moments after they'd smeared her with the
chunky goo, her breathing stepped up toward hyperventilation, and even
when scrubbed down with wet towels, her skin took on the bloated,
bubbled texture of a salted cane toad. (And I feel professionally
obliged to report that while concerned, her partner nonetheless showed
unmistakable signs of arousal.)
Within fifteen minutes, she resembled a giant tongue, and would never
be able to tolerate even the whiff of peanut butter again."

The Uniform Project
As an exercise in sustainable fashion, one foxy lady wears one dress every day for an entire year. Of course, as rules sometimes do, it unleashed creativity rather than stamping it out. (via)
Radical Idea Creation from BrainStore
"Imagine a CEO, CFO and a junior sales manager of our coffee
company cutting magazines together with a 40 year old mom,
some students, an office guy, a travel manager and an Italian cook with
some loud MTV music on background. After three minutes they will run
trough the yard competing who writes ideas faster. After seven minutes
they will draw pictures using gouache. After this stage, about 1000
“raw ideas” are expected to be produced."

Developing Your Own Planning Style
The Future of the Media Agency
"Making predictions for what's going to happen in media next week is hard, let alone undergo the ambitious challenge of trying to second guess the next five years. However, we believe our vision, which is based on rigorous research, conversations with key influencers and the collation of pertinent data and statistics, is not far-fetched. In fact, most of the predictions we make are grounded in today's reality; we are building the foundations now for a future-proof media agency in five years. So, take a trip into the future with us, use your imagination and tell us what you think."
From Wikipedia: The Hermeneutic Cycle
Heidegger
(1927) developed the concept of the Hermeneutic Circle to envision a
whole in terms of a reality that was situated in the detailed
experience of everyday existence by an individual (the parts). So
understanding was developed on the basis of "fore-structures" of
understanding, that allow external phenomena to be interpreted or in a
preliminary way. Gadamer
(1975) developed this concept, leading to what is recognized as a break
with previous hermeneutic traditions. But while Heidegger saw the
hermeneutic process as cycles of self-reference that situated our
understanding in a priori prejudices, Gadamer reconceptualized the hermeneutic circle as an iterative process through which a new
understanding of a whole reality is developed by means of exploring the
detail of existence. Gadamer viewed understanding as
linguistically-mediated, through conversations with others in which
reality is explored and an agreement is reached that represents a new
understanding.[2] The centrality of conversation to the hermeneutic circle is developed by Donald Schön (1983), who characterizes design as a hermeneutic circle that is developed by means of "a conversation with the situation."
