Out of the Vault

I officially reject the Disney Vault. How it toys with our emotions. How it dangles the goods only to jerk them away. I have a right mind not to buy Sleeping Beauty. No matter how fucking badass Malificent is. And she is ever so evil. Dare I say the evilest?

Who is your fav villian, readers? We can start with the disney variety, then move on to action movies, political masterminds, and which of your parents you like least.

Bloomberg Third Term - Good or Bad?

Apocolypse coming?

The Bush Administration has proposed to put 48 new species on the endangered list. That's 48 times more than they have in the past 2 years.

The Magic of Law Enforcement.

I've been reading about the above Stephen Sagmeister installation of 250,000 eurocents (spelling out Obsessions make my life worse and my work better) as part of Droog Design's Urban Play project. It took a bunch of volunteers a couple days to put together. The idea was:

After the piece is completely set up we will leave it alone, on the street. We expect the piece to slowly dissolve as people take coins, play with them, alter the design. All coins have been painted on the back with a bright blue permanent color.'

Less than 20 hours after they were finished, this happened.

Someone called the police because a person was taking some of the coins (which was expected). The police came and swept it up. The most curious thing about all of this: Where did they get those brooms, Hogwarts?

Happy World Vegetarian Day

I just found out thanks to Gus who gave me a heads up from a Treehugger post. You should probably not eat meat today and it might not be a bad idea to go out and by fancy gifts for all your vegetarian friends.
