Australians really like their cereal

The concept here is that cereal fans love Crunchy Nut cereal so much that they used their spoons to try to break into the outdoor display and get at the box of cereal.

Without the explanation, I didn't get it. Did you?

Not sure I should be admitting this but the spoons look kind of sperm-y to me.

All aboard the schizophrenia bus

Last week, the annual conference of the American Psychiatric Association was held in Honolulu. I went to Hawaii with my parents — my father is a psychiatrist and Distinguished Fellow of the APA.

Sunovion Pharmaceuticals provided conference attendees with free shuttle service between the Hawaii Convention Center and local hotels. Above are a few photos of the wrapped bus sponsored by Sunovion.

Since most of the buses in Honolulu are wrapped in ads with tropical themes, I thought this was pretty nice way to remind psychiatric health professionals of one option for treatment.

Here are some more wrapped buses from the streets of Honolulu. These had nothing directly to do with the APA conference.
