palaceunderthealps:
The gorges of Verdon are sometimes compared, a bit unfairly, to the Grand Canyon. Although this series of gorges north of St. Tropez cannot begin to match the scale of their American counterpart, they are wild, spectacular, and unrelentingly beautiful. There’s nothing like it anywhere else in…

M&Ms Rant
The Super Bowl is known for its expensive advertising spectacles. It’s where the three Budweiser frogs debuted, it’s where Apple introduced the Mac in a 1984 commercial directed by Ridley Scott, and it’s where a scantily-clad Cindy Crawford slowly drank Pepsi in front of children.
