Why do we ignore the present?" So you're telling me that living in the present is a stupid thing to do? If this is the underlying message of Diesel's Be Stupid campaign, I'd have to assume so. I get your point - chase your dreams. Figure out what you really want out of life and run with it. Now is that stupid? I don't think so. And I know this is all a metaphor, but don't forget that what Diesel wants is to sell jeans, not cheap philosophy. And as far as cheap philosophy goes, this one has some seriously damaged concept associations. But hey, maybe it rocks their target audience. If that's the case, kudos for the creative minds behind this. I wonder if they are stupid or smart. I guess I'm just over-analyzing. Which puts me on the smart side I guess. So no Diesel Jeans for me. I don't want to walk around with a brand that identifies me as stupid. “Most of us live in two tenses: We plan for the future, or we long for the past.
