Buying Back Your Youth on the Internet

Heartwarming : An elderly actor used the internet to revive the Manhattan apartment he lived in as a child , item by item . Not so heartwarming : it was a stunt by the Swedish Postal Service to familiarise sometime people with vitamin E - commerce .

My heart does n’t know how to feel about this . Bo Brundin , a Swedish actor who appeared in over 40 films , recently used the internet to recreate the apartment he lived in as a struggling young artist in the 1960s , down to the James Dean head shots and the cane - wooden leg chair .

But wait ! This was n’t just Bo ’s thought , it ’s the Swedish Postal Service ’s , who want to deliver a bunch of stuff and nonsense to erstwhile , cyberspace - shopping Swedes , because , you lie with , it ’s profitable . The video explains that the Swedish Postal Service help Bo “ with everything from digital mien preparation and strategic marketing tips , to logistics and establishment of his internet site . ” Ugh ! Ugh ugh ugh .

The cyberspace total through , as it often does in such matter , and with a soaker of bakshis it took Bo only two months to find all 42 items needed to create the pad of his young . you may watch the outgrowth on his site , Forever Young .

So Bo got his room , and the Swedish Postal Service picture that , yes , sure , old people can learn to shop on the internet . Everyone ’s happy . Everyone , that is , except for me , a young boy who on this day lost just a little bit of internet innocence .
