I *Heart* Evil Advertising

Gotta love it....

Broccolli sex? Seriously?

What has PETA come to? I mean, what happened to the good ol' days of throwing fake blood on fur coats?

Although you've got to love that NBC censored these advertisements. Actually, there's a big history of ads being censored by the superbowl networks, particularly political or protest ads. MoveOn.org and adbusters both have had several ads rejected, and for no cause other than that they are "too political." I prefer the sex with vegetables angle, though.

New Electric Car...bizarre but cool

Check out this blog from Wired about a new electric car due to hit the market in October.  Pretty cool, I'd say....

ProPublica

Here's another online news / watchdog site you might be interested in, called ProPublica.  Very cool...I especially like their "scandal watch" sections.

AlterNet

Here's a great alternative news and culture blog.  This post is a great discussion of the changing of roadsigns saying "Bush" to roadsigns saying "Obama" in San Francisco.

RIAA vs. Filesharing vs. Reality

Here's an interesting story from Wired Magazine about the upcoming trial of a Boston U student against the Recording Industry Association of America, who sued him for tons of money for sharing music.  They're losing their battle against file sharing, as is the MPAA, because it's an impossible battle and they're too shortsighted to actually work with the technology or, you know, CHARGE LESS FOR THEIR BAD MOVIES.  Seems they're trying to block the broadcasting of pre-trial arguments on the web, which a judge has allowed.  They don't want anyone to know what's going on...like the MPAA, they fear transparency in the process, which is why we should fight for it...

Twitter + Yahoo Search = Cool

Hey, check out this story that talks about a combination between the website Twitter and the Yahoo search engine.  It's made to make it easy to hear breaking information about new news stories.  Pretty cool.

Top Culture Trends of 2009

Check out this news article from Yahoo Finance on culture in the recession.  Pretty interesting.  Don't think I buy much of it, but interesting nonetheless...
