Budweiser Sells Out

The BBC reports that Anheuser-Busch has sold out to Belgium-based InBev.
Oh, Budweiser. You were too expensive, your fans were annoying, and your advertisements were so sexist–but I’ll be damned if you weren’t an American icon.
The irony tastes better than you ever did.

Our Founding Illegals

From Fark TV:

Don’t Talk to Cops

Take it from a defense attorney:

Take it from a cop:

Visual deconstruction of gender binaries

I found this picture on Flickr and was fascinated. How does it make you feel to look at this? Can you stare at the bottom right one long enough to convince yourself you are looking at a man? Then look back to the top left. Staring at this picture offers a small way to help […]

Anti-colonialism + poetry = Cee-Lo

Cee-Lo starts in at 1:28

In the beginning there was none,
other than the original people, skin blackened from the sun.

It’s been a busy weekend, and I don’t have time to write an impassioned post about racist cops, how quickly they will lie, and how this reflects on society and each of […]

Pfleger on Wright

I found this excellent video posted over at Feminocracy. This is a nice follow up in light of my earlier post about Jeremiah Wright. I hadn’t heard of Pfleger before, but this interview is very impressive. Turns out he lives in Chicago, so maybe I will get a chance to see him speak. Anyway, enjoy […]

Evidence that society isn’t trying to make sense

This didn’t make any sense to me until I watched it for the fifth time and noticed the huge Mentos ads in the background. I guess I should change the title of this post to “evidence that society is run by companies,” but that might be want for subtlety.
But seriously, don’t we have better things […]
