Want Mainstream?

In the online issue of renowned german newspaper FAZ there is an article about Mr. Arnold Schwarzenegger and german chancellor Angela Merkel strolling through this year´s CeBIT. The governor is representing California as this year´s special guest of the world´s biggest IT-fair. And guess what! They stopped at the DIGITAL BOX demo by LEGO and metaio! What a great picture. We are really proud and it definetely is another – yet very powerful – sign for the relevance of visually strong and innovative information design. Man, I can´t believe it. The Governator!
I`ll be back…

Hey Andrew, the other.
Of course in this situation, when about 200 fotografers (no joke) shout “Frau Merkel, Frau Merkel, bitte, bitte, hier…” to get one of the few shots to be bought by AP, AFP or DPA it seems like they don´t know what they are, well, looking at, somehow. But in fact, both were really interested in the demo and explanation before those pictures. And you know it, both are politicians and not actors – they did not play this! Finally it was legendary to get a real “Servus” from Mr. Schwarzenegger (south german and austrian bye bye) and not this hasta-la-vista-la-lu-la-la everybody wants to finish his article with. Cheers!

Damn! How lucky. It’s as though the two are presenter for the MR product!
