Shining.

Shining.
If Kubrick made this movie in 2005, this is how they'd package it. Brilliant satire. (The use of Solisbury Hill is perfect. Does that marketing cliche annoy anyone else besides me?)

Security Poster Fun.

Security Fever-Catch It!
This set of posters really bothers me. Some 9the old-skool ones) are brilliant; others (the ones cobbled together by drones) are hateful, and others are unintentionally hilarious.

(Not to be confused with these, which are the gold standard.)

Pre-emptive Nuke Strikes Against What?

Pre-emptive Nuke Strikes Against What?
This makes about as much sense as the rest of the Presidency. Now they'll be able to nuke anything, claim it was a "threat", and won't have to prove anything because it'll be a smoking crater in the earth.

Thanks to NPR for this one. What an excellent way to make a video and get your band out there. And the music ain't bad, either. (Click on the "Million Ways" link on the left side.)
