There are a couple of scenes in the ad where we see a young woman photographing the phone box. Of course she is using a Leica. Looks like a III of some sort, with a w/a finder on top. So to sell their cars they boast of their skill in designing modern telephone boxes, and they make a link to another great German design to stress their continuity, back to Bauhaus presumably. Enough semiotics in the ad to drive even a French philosopher (more) insane :o) Cheers, Bob >From: Gary Elshaw <gary.elshaw@vuw.ac.nz> [..] > >Nice to see some Leicas on the telly though, eh? > ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com
