there is an article about the "New Bazooka Joe." It seems that the Bazooka brand "had lost its cache." So Topps went to their consumer base and asked focus groups of gum chewing kids what Joe should be like. The kids wanted him to be fun & free spirited but goofy like Ashton Kutcher. Well the artists at Topps went right to work and voila the New Bazooka Joe was born. The new Joe has tousled hair, his cap is turned backwards (the sign of rebellion) and torn jeans and sneakers. His gang was updated with Pesty and Butch gone and in were Cindy Lewis ... Read More

comics. There’s something about them that makes the teenage lifestyle seem especially fun and glamorous to a 9-to-11-year-old. You think that high school’s going to be about dating and friends and wacky contests, rather than humiliation and social exclusion. I’ve always been afraid to revisit Archie since for fear of being horrified at my own terrible tweenage taste. Still, it took this brilliant article at the Onion AV Club to make it clear to me that not only does Archie completely fail to capture anything resembling authentic teenage experience, but it’s actually written by adults who harbor active ...

pointed out that Mr. Clean isn't the only advertising icon to have undergone changes since being introduced. His example was the Brawny guy, who shaved and dyed his hair, basically going from the love child of Freddie Mercury and Ron Howard... ... to the result of a menage a trois between Greg Brady, Mel Gibson and Jay Leno. You can be the judge of whether or not that's an improvement.

I think the character has remained fairly constant, although I would be curious to ...

But the losses aren't that horrible. The S&P 500 is down less than 1%, which is not that big on any day, and considering the recent losses is really not that much. Presumably, the market is now pricing in some more easing from the Fed, and that's why things are holding up. In fact, it's a certainty, because the dollar is getting hammered against the euro and the yen, a sure sign of more money-printing to come. And of course, the market loves free money.

We put this book together because we believe that the Zapatistas should
be heard in their own words. In their hurry to analyze the Zapatistas many
have ignored the analyses that the Zapatistas themselves have developed
through years of struggle. As far as we know, this book is the largest
collection of their communique's, letters, and interviews in any language
anywhere in the world. We think that people wishing to understand the Zapatistas
should listen to them. This book was produced through the donated labor of a large number of
people around the US and Mexico working in solidarity with the EZLN. All
