There is no rule that the random picture has to be a photograph. Ever since I failed to capture the packaging of a brand of Argentine frozen hamburger patties called BARFY I have made a point of documenting bizarre advertising gambits, particularly those with unusual mascots or spokes-pinnipeds. I like the burly, bluff look of this Croatian tuna-fishing walrus (or possibly sea lion?) very much. I just trust him to provide high-quality tuna. How could you not purchase this brand?

  1. That is totally a Walrus.

    You know one way to make the tin-of-tuna-eaten-over-the-sink a little more classy? Keep the tin in the fridge, then the tuna’s cold. Mmmmmm.
