I'll cut to the chase: Music Piracy leads to Homelessness or forced participation in Corporate Awareness Campaigns.
This has a sort of retro-scare chic, but it's no "Duck and Cover."
Is this the first Astroturf campaign to use Comics to push messages to youngsters? Hardly. But if this is the best they can do, someone deserves to get fired, in my opinion.
I suggest they spend their filthy lucre on a PR campaign that tries to make them seem less like a Mafia Conspiracy.
Science Friday Archives: The Happening
This is one of only two NPR programs I listen to regularly, and while I occasionally find it a little "soft on science" it is generally well produced and presented.
That's why the recent segment allowing Mr. Shyamalan to flog his new movie "The Happening" was surprisingly bad. Evidently Mr. Shyamalan believes we must stop expecting Science to save the day, embrace our ignorance, and find God in all his many and multifarious disasters.
From bees to storms, Mr. Shyamalan blithely rattled off some failings of modern Science (as he sees them) and then reminded Mr. Flatow that Einstein started out life as a non-believer, but was a wholly religious man toward the end of his life.
Unfortunately, Mr. Flatow only corrected his most baldly false assertion, but was unable or unwilling to engage him on his larger agenda. The anti-science pro-Jeebus lobbies are indeed poisoning the well, infiltrating public schools, and, of course, getting prime airtime to flog unreleased films on NPR's Science Friday.
I pray for America's brain.

Images not needed: Rupley at Burning Man (let's photoshop something, what?)
The whole thing makes him squeamish, what a shock. Breasts flopping!
Now imagine him nude and doing his best to "burn...." No no no no no no stop.
For a journalist who's obviously never been anywhere near the event,
he has some remarkably forceful opinions that seem to indicate he might
be really out of place in the Bay Area. Hippy-dippy lovey-dovey what?
How many graduates of the Haight Ashbury thing does he work with?
He and Dvorak gleefully "report" on the incident of the man arrested trying to burn the burning man. Rupley, believe it or not, seems actually joyful for a moment. Too bad it's the old lady buried deep down inside who's cackling. Stick to your core competencies, sir!
Buy some old lady glasses. Live it. Embrace it. Stare not at the flopping breasts.
