Link memorial plaque found in London

Blue plaques are placed around England:

In order to be eligible for an English Heritage blue plaque, a figure must have been dead for twenty years or have passed the centenary of their birth. Nominated figures must be considered eminent by a majority of members of their own profession; have made an outstanding contribution to human welfare or happiness; have resided in a locality for a significant period, in time or importance, within their life and work; be recognisable to the well-informed passer-by, or deserve national recognition. In cases of foreigners and overseas visitors, candidates should be of international reputation or significant standing in their own country. EH plaques can only be erected on the actual building inhabited by a figure, not the site where the building once stood; buildings marked with plaques should be visible from the public highway; unless a case is deemed exceptional, a single person may not be commemorated with more than two plaques nationwide.

Someone placed this one, honoring Link for defeating Ganon, in London:

This sign apparently got Paul Maybury fired from Whole Foods

I pity the Whole Foods shoppers that didn't like this sign. (Update: it only sort of got him fired.)

On the other hand, this one might have been a little too adventurous:



And this one probably was a little offensive.

1. Interesting detail about the California governor's campaign:

[Jerry] Brown is charging media $700 a day for transportation, meals and hotels on the final days of the campaign, according to campaign spokesman Sterling Clifford. The Brown campaign plans for two charter planes, one for the media, and one for the candidate, with the possibility of interviews and media availabilities on the final swing, reporters were told.

[Meg] Whitman is charging the media a whopping $1,350 for one day, and an astronomical $2,050 for another -- hotels not included. And so far, no details of what itinerary is planned, with a week to go.

Packaging for precooked meals

Love Creative:

We’ve just created a brand identity including a range of packaging for COOK’s new super-premium hand prepared meals. Working to a very tight budget, our challenge was to create luxurious packaging reflecting the quality ingredients and premium price point of the dishes (oh, and have stand out in an increasingly cluttered market). The designs feature a combination of wood cut illustrations with insightful copy which bring the key ingredients to life in a fun and engaging way.

Here's another great campaign by Love, for Umbro:
