it seems appropriate sometimes.

Everyone can vote!

I don't have a lot of sympathy for anyone involved in this clip. Encouraging uninformed people to loudly shout their personal/political opinions into a video camera is the moral equivalent of getting boozed-up girls with low self esteem to flash their tits on spring break.



Later that night, the self-righteous cameraman received his comeuppance (and a lesson in irony) when a crowd of folksy racists* and townie homophobes took turns sodomizing him in the alley behind Ruby Tuesdays.

Take that, universal suffrage!


*extra irony: probably the same people who made Beverly Hills Chihuahua the #1 movie in America last week

Invitation to Stare

Couple, 2004

By making pictures that are erotically charged but resistant to the hurried viewer's quick scan, Brown hoped "to make people stop and look as long as possible. People have lost the habit of standing still in front of a work of art. I didn't want them to feel they'd gotten it too quickly. I always wanted it to be more than one thing, to be multilayered. It could be funny and very serious at the same time."

It could be funny and serious at the same time.

A Multilingual Nation

Now that we're on the topic of language, here's an article to read about multilingualism, or the lack thereof, in America.


Now for a joke:


What do you call someone who speaks four languages?
Multilingual.

What do you call someone who speaks three languages?
Trilingual.

What do you call someone who speaks two languages?
Bilingual.

What do you call someone who speaks one language?
American.

I emailed our first newsletter today, and I received a nice reply:

Hi Mike,

Thanks for sending this release my way but it doesn't relate to Trends Magazine's content in any way.

Best,

Jenna Lee Dillon
Editor
Trends Magazine

This prompted me to investigate her publication further.

I found their website.

"Trends reaches the people who matter."

Do YOU matter???
