Hace unos días me mostraron un par de fotos que me hicieron reir un rato largo. Por otro lado encontré un video que de algún modo está al tono.
Esto de estar a tono es bastante relativo, es un tono temático, casi hipotético, pero de temperaturas muy distintas. Las fotos tienen cierta calidez ausente en en el video. Debo reconocer que en realidad es una especie de fantasma la relación mencionada, fantasma que se aproxima a la foto con que ilustro el artículo. Pego.
