Apple's Siri (Speech Interpretation and Recognition Interface) was launched in October of 2011 as an integral—and heavily advertised—part of iOS 5, the operating system for the iPhone 4S.

Gale-Force Wind Portraits by Tadao Cern

Posted: 17 May 2012 10:26 PM PDT

Lithuanian photographer and artist Tadao Cern has been working on a series of hilarious wind-pushed portraits entitled, ahem, Blow Job, that depicts individuals enduring gale-force winds directly to the face.

The artist says about the project:
'I wanted to do something very fun for myself and the visitors, just laugh and have a good time. I was surprised that there were so many laid-back people who were not afraid to look funny! Spacious studio was bursting at the seams and everyone was crying with laughter, laughing at themselves and at each other. Everyone (and there were more than one hundred!) who dared to stand up in front of my lens that evening will remember this photo shoot for a long time and have an extraordinary shot in his album'.

Not everyone

If you're marketing a bass guitar or an orchid or an electric SUV, why are you concerned with what everyone thinks about it?

It seems to me that you should only care about the opinion of those that are actually open to buying one.

Shun the non-believers.
