J is for Joy

Well as you look at this picture it would appear to be a contradiction in terms.
I got a chuckle when it saw this as the two people really do not appear very happy. The booklet is West Edmonton Mall's Christmas catalogue.
A side note the company I work for printed those catalogues and this week I will spend many hours getting these ready to be mailed out to major centres across the province.
Have a joyful day everyone
Great catch

Haha... there is definitely a contradiction between the expressions and words.
November 23rd, 2014  
you nailed it! no joy there except the word. great eye!!!
November 23rd, 2014  
Love! Well done! I've been to Edmonton mall and stayed in the hotel there. That is another story all on its own. Love your capture.
November 23rd, 2014  
Very observant Brian! They are not happy campers :)
November 23rd, 2014  
Interesting contradiction, they look anything but happy.
November 23rd, 2014  
Certainly no joy on those faces. Nice capture
November 23rd, 2014  
Definitely not joyous. They look as though they have had a bit of a domestic, ha ha.
November 23rd, 2014  
Very true! They need at least a small smile! Hope your week isn't too crazy!
November 23rd, 2014  
Is that every a contradiction of terms. They actually look quite miserable which doesn't even come close to JOY. Good job of posting this as it is so true.
November 23rd, 2014  
Nice spot and capture!
November 23rd, 2014  
Interesting juxtaposition - I think the catalogues for the big shopping centres here are very similar too.
November 23rd, 2014  
Well seen!
November 23rd, 2014  
Nice capture.
November 23rd, 2014  
Great shot...and though they are beautiful people...they do not look joyful..you are right.
November 23rd, 2014  
Quite the contrast.
November 23rd, 2014  
Oh joy! They really look like they need some joy.
November 23rd, 2014  
Good catch
brian!

It's a great photo, but sort of a sad commentary that looking this way and buying this way is what makes Christmas joyous. I realize it's just an ad though.
November 23rd, 2014  
Great capture. Perhaps they will be more joyful as the season progresses!!!! katharine
November 23rd, 2014  
Excellent!
November 23rd, 2014  
Fine capture!
November 23rd, 2014  
Superb capture... have to agree they really are very miserable.. ♥
November 23rd, 2014  
Saw your title, looked at the pictures and thought, "Really? They don't look very joyful!" Good catch Brian! And good for your company too!
November 23rd, 2014  
Haha. Great find. Models never look like they're having fun and when they do it looks fake. Love the contrast.
November 24th, 2014  
They definitely don't look joyful.
November 24th, 2014  
Well that's how I look when I'm joyful lol. Great find
November 24th, 2014  
That's funny! Well, you passed along a little joy to me today by giving me a little chuckle. I like the pamphlets! How interesting to hear a little bit about your work...
November 24th, 2014  
These are the least joyful people in the world, I think! Hahah. The brochures look classic and elegant. Have a wonderful week in the bkb family!
November 24th, 2014  
Professional models seem to smile very seldom these days. I get a bit fed up with the constant sulky expressions. At least, in this case, it gave others a laugh. Great capture Brian!
