Islamic Guerilla Tactics.

The Trustocorp collective has decided to show their support for the hotly debated Islamic cultural center in lower Manhattan and installed these “Islam is Welcome Here” signs on Park Place outside of the proposed Cordoba House and another about 40 feet from the WTC site. Not surprisingly, with hysteria reaching medieval levels, one of them has already been removed.

Ballsy.

Floating River Pools.

+ Pool is an initiative by a group of architects and designers to build a floating pool in the rivers of New York City… and they need your help. The project was launched with the ambition to improve the use of the city’s natural resources by providing a clean and safe way for the public to swim in New York’s waters. This site is the culmination of Concept Design for + Pool and they are looking to build a team of interested organizations and professionals to continue the development of the project into a buildable proposal.

Their next step is to partner with local cultural, developmental and environmental groups to raise public and private interest, identify civic potential and approach the municipality, while working with engineers, planners and specialists to refine the social and ecological performance of + Pool.

These are a good idea, because lets face it. The only thing the sucks about NY is it's lack of easy access to swimming in the summer (chicago!!!). There either needs to be alot of these, or it should be a membership type of thing....cause just the thought of another NY public pool makes me want to get STD testing.

I would just like to officially thank the Yankees for wrapping that up last night. I appreciate it. 

Empire State of Mind. Jay Z Alicia Keys.

These streets will inspire you.

You KNOW they aren't in New York.

In Brussles, the Farming Industry toke to the street in protest. The NYT got this funny shot of a farmer spraying milk straight from a cow's tit at and officer. As badass it is, you know this sh*t didnt go down in NY (or anywhere in America), cause you would magically catch a beatdown and be left on the side of the road hoping that someone around you had a video phone. 

New York, truth.

Forced Diversity.

"The following agencies/media Cos will be sending hiring managers to the Diversity in Advertising Career Day tomorrow, April 22, at the Hilton here in NYC: Arnold Worldwide, Bartle Bogle Hegarty, BBDO New York, Energy BBDO (Chicago), Cablevision, Carol H. Williams Advertising, Draftfcb, Draftfcb Healthcare, Edelman, G2 (G2 Branding & Design, G2 Direct & Digital, G2 Interactive, G2 Promotional Marketing), GLOBALHUE, Grey New York, GroupM (MAXUS, MediaCom, mediaedge:cia, Mindshare), Initiative, JWT, MARC USA, Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, McGarry Bowen, MPG, Starcom MediaVest, Team Detroit and Wieden + Kennedy.

The event is sponsored by the 4As, and stems from the 2006 agreement reached by the New York City Commission on Human Rights and a number of agencies, by which the agencies agreed to hire more minorities. So, go get that job!

Oh and I spoke with a few of the participating agencies to find out which are hiring and it looks like most are "always looking for good people." The only shops I know are really looking, of those listed above are GLOBALHUE, Arnold and maybe JWT. However, the event is probably more pomp than anything — without a doubt unemployed ad pros of all types have been checking in with these shops for openings."

Yeah....that's today. Pull your book together and get there. If you aren't a minority....curl your hair and act like you are from somewhere exotic. The job market is doo doo. So do what you got to do.
