Yes, there's informality and there's humor, but beneath the surface lies something deadly serious. It is a code. Sometimes the code is not even written down, but it is deeply believed in. And, when violated, it is enforced with tribal ferocity.

And in more lack of cultural ghostbusting:
"The Fighter" played extremely well by most reports, and every member I spoke to who saw it immediately declared it a likely Best Picture nominee and Christian Bale a sure Supporting Actor contender. But the crowd was reportedly very sparse, with perhaps as few as 200 people in the 1,000-seat Goldwyn. ("127 Hours" had a similarly small turnout a few weeks earlier. [SIC]
Pete Hammond said that one of his "spies" reported "virtually no applause at the end," although one member I spoke to attributed that to the fact that movie ends with loud music (muffling the applause from a sparse crowd)....
Well, noise might deter applause -- but so could the movie.

"Peanuts" was fated to be tremendous but one reason we use words like "icon" for A Charlie Brown Christmas is that it plays in a cultural ghost town, and the ghosts won't leave because no one can chase them away.
And it is slightly depressing that Charles Schulz, who died eleven years ago in February, commands more attention even now than the whole present cadre of comic-strip authors combined, confirming our national ectoplasm.

A small but noisy percentage of computer owners consist of people who aren't content to pick a computing platform and leave it at that. Instead, they question the IQ and/or taste of anyone who makes a buying decision different from their own. Hence the classic stereotypes: the Windows user as a clueless sucker for punishment, and the Mac fan as a spendthrift fetishist.
Unfortunately the stereotypes may have a basis in truth, as in:
According to market research firm NPD, 79% of all computers sold at retail (Walmart excluded) in October ran Windows. Among those that sold for $1,000 and above, however, 88% were Macs.
Definitely.

We would not be surprised if the authorities keep it in custody using these rape allegations as an excuse. Doing that will only make it into a martyr. If someone's going to prosecute it that someone had better have a very good case.

1. With Traffic Jam in Super Bowl, Can Any Auto Brand Really Win?
Of course not -- but since these CEO cretins finance the Bowl ONLY to impress the equal cretins at USAOKAY!!!!! and to forever let it be known that I WAS AT THE SUPER BOWL AND YOU WEREN'T!!!!!, why should they worry?
Since so many car ads look the same, the chance of their being recalled by consumers is low.
So what will the idiots do? They'll all act like FLASHERS -- and the recall will be LOWER STILL.
HERE is an argument for a LOCKOUT.
2. An AdAgeist writes a BOOK:
[A]n explosion of creative opportunities doesn't mean copywriters can escape the scourge that has faced writers from the dawn of written expression: the blank page.
Thankfully the great achievement of copywriters is when they FILL IT in six seconds -- and then it becomes OUR scourge.
3. Mattel Films has FINALLY come up with a franchise hit -- even if it looks like BRATZ. So we'll make big money with a copy of a copy of a copy. That's how you make it in the moVEE biz.
There has been some grumbling on the blogs that Mattel may have stoked the scarcity by under-producing.
Let's see them complain when we make the SEQUEL!

This country has some of the highest levels of long-term unemployment — out of work longer than six months — it has ever recorded. Meanwhile, job growth has been, and looks to remain, disappointingly slow, indicating that those out of work for a while are likely to remain so for the foreseeable future. Even if the government report on Friday shows the expected improvement in hiring by business [Pffffffffffffft!], it will not be enough to make a real dent in those totals.

"Markets will interpret this negatively at first. They will focus on the chronic unemployment that is growing more pervasive in the US," David Kotok, chairman and chief investment officer at Cumberland Advisors, wrote in an analysis for clients.
But "financial analysts will realize that this will extend the already 'extended period' of Fed QE for many more months," he added, referring to the central bank's quantitative easing plans. Finally, he noted that "expectations were jerked back to reality today" but that "we remain fully invested in the US stock market."

Qatar has comparatively liberal laws compared to some of its neighbouring states, but a first World Cup in an Arab country will still be a very new experience for fans. The few bars and nightclubs in Qatar operate only in expensive hotels and clubs. Alcohol will be restricted to designated areas, with Qatar's Sharia making it illegal to show alcohol or be drunk in public.
Well, there's always the stadiums -- and the jails!
There is significant doubt over whether a country with a population of 1.6 million will have any future use for a World Cup infrastructure that will cost an estimated $4 billion to put in place. Qatar plan to erect some modular stadiums that can be transported after the World Cup to poorer countries, but would it not be better to build those facilities in countries that most need them in the first place?
Donate them to Dubai!
