spaghetti kitty censor.

Recently on the Morning Show with Mike and Juliet (?????), Spaghetti Kitty was randomly used as a place holder. Like out of nowhere random. And lets just say that spaghetti kitty is not the most sensible picture in the world....so imagine it popping in on an unsuspecting slightly tired morning viewer. Mayhem in the morning. 

I would think that I had schizophrenia. 

But no...it was used to sensor the word retarded.

The Soup sums it up best....and it gets better and better...every time I watch it.

ASB?

Have you seen one too many hitler ads? Well, now is your chance to do something about it. Say hello to ads from the Ads Standards Bureau.

And while I do thinks the art direction is fun and funky...these ads are as lame as the concept of the ASB.

The ASB is here to make sure all advertising, wherever it appears, meets the high standards laid down in the advertising codes. Our website will tell you more about the rules for advertising, let you complain online, and explain how the ASB is working to keep Australian advertising standards as high as possible.


In one ear and out the other. The same line three times in a row. For some reason,  I cant help but to think MADD and PETA are behind this. Or atleast, some graphic designer trying to be an art director (joke...but not really).

Say hello to the age when demographics become just a little p*ssy and advertising becomes lame...at least in australia. 
Wrrrutt Wroooh.

assasination exhibit? that's a negative.

The artist, Yazmany Arboleda, had a simple and what he probably thought as a clever idea. He would display an art exhibit entitled "The Assassination of Hillary Clinton/The Assassination of Barack Obama." It would be filled with opinionated works of art with ofcoarse a political theme. He probably thought he was in America, and of all place the Big Apple would be the center of free expression and acceptance. Logical enough. Alas...he was wrong. After being tipped off, he was immediately arrest and charged for domestic terrorism.

Whooopsi!

"By 9:30 a.m., New York City police detectives and Secret Service agents had shut down the exhibition, and building workers had quickly covered over the inflammatory title with large sheets of brown paper and blue masking tape." {NTY}.


Everyone claims to not know what the artist had planned. But the artist claims that he has been promoting his exhibit for a long time. Hmmmmm. Me thinks me smells the Patriot Act?

Anyway. Check out his websites before thet get shut down. Its not really art in my opinion, but some of it is kinda controversial...but really, would it be any fun if it wasn't?

Heres a lil taste....

You can decide for yourself if thats real artistic expression or just a publicity stunt.
