stoolpigeon's Journal: Afro Coffee

We were driving home from a ski trip and stopped to get gas just outside Budapest. The entire front of the place we stopped at was covered in a big advertisement for Afro Coffee. I thought it was pretty crazy so I took a picture. Well - it's a whole company. They say, "It all began with a dream. The dream of presenting to the world a new image of Africa. The image of a self-aware up-and-coming continent." And I think I can get behind that dream. Though I'm not sure if selling the idea that Africa == 70's Black America is really the best vehicle to achieve that goal. Maybe I'm wrong.

Hmmm

Afros have a lot less to do with 70s America than they do lots of other things.

I'm not thinking about the hair as much as the clothes. I've never seen anyone dressed like that in Africa.
