oh, indeed
"The president [likes] the HBO drama 'The Wire.' His favorite character is Omar, a gay stickup artist who steals from drug pushers to give to the poor. ('That's not an endorsement. He's not my favorite person, but he's a fascinating character,' Obama said last year.)"

Levi's and Walt Whitman
Blame Mad Men?
Is a brilliant series about a 60's ad agency actually influencing contemporary ad agencies? I want to see Barney Stinson quoting Ted Berrigan in a bar to pick up some hipster girl, episode titled New York School... last drunken words of the episode, "...my vocabulary did this to me."

Slate:
In December 2008, Levi's ditched its old ad agency and signed on with Wieden + Kennedy (the talented ad makers responsible for creating many of Nike's epic, stirring, one-minute anthems). The spots that W+K came up with—this new campaign is labeled "Go Forth"—have been running since the summer in movie theaters and, increasingly, on television. From the moment we see that "America" sign half-sunk in inky water, we know we're watching something new. The campaign inhabits a different universe from the one depicted in "Live Unbuttoned."
For one thing, it's a universe in which the ever-present soundtrack is Walt Whitman poetry. This spot uses a wax cylinder recording believed to be audio of Whitman himself reading from his poem "America." The second spot in the campaign employs a recording of an actor reading Whitman's "Pioneers! O Pioneers!

Pray to St. Benedict for the poisoned Dumbers
"I didn’t care really if I became a Dumber like the rest of them. It would happen sooner or later. Kids were dropping out, not going out, were nowhere. Kids were disappearing into houses like napkins under the table. Like dead leaves on the floor mat. Little Dumbers peeping out bedroom windows at a world none of us recognized.
The words we were taught to trust were just inventions – the world we were taught to trust was just an invention – broken and unfixable and given up.
I only trust the faces I draw.
I only draw the faces I trust."
