I work in advertising and watch movies.
Took a tour of Raleigh with Aunt Barbara and cousin Matt. Very tired now. Finishing Stephen King's Desperation and sleep time.

Clouds have filled the sky in Georgia. We're packing up and heading out soon towards Raleigh, NC.

Because that's the rest of the trip. We came down for a pseudo-wedding on the 4th and we're making stops in Raleigh, Virginia Beach, Washington DC and Philly on the way back up. So far so good.

Arrived at my aunt's house in Raleigh. Relaxing time now.
James is leaving Georgia. North Carolina, here I come.
Welcome to Georgia. Look out for Runaway Trucks. - http://whatjamesknows.com/...

"Remember when you could buy barbituates for the baby? Cover your house with asbestos? Or get heroin from the doctor? Okay, probably not, but thanks to the immortal beauty of advertising, you can take a trip back in time. Here's our pick of some of the most ironic ads in American history."

I love old advertisements. So hokey, fun and wrong.

I have a video that actually tries to advertise the greatness of electricity! Will have to snip it out of the video it's in and post it some day... "Electricity, energy for life"

I have a CD set of a bunch of old radio shows (Who's on First? Superman, Lone Ranger, etc) and the ads in there are awesome. Most of the shows are sponsored by cigarettes with recommendations from doctors.

"Yet Mainstream comics haven't always been so progressive. The Comics Code Authority was created in the 50s partly out of paranoid fears that Batman and Robin were secret gay lovers, and forbade homosexuality as a "sex perversion" until 1989. In honor of the "X-Factor" liplock -- and recent promotion of the crime-fighting lesbian Batwoman to the helm of "Detective Comics" -- here's an overview of the most important gay characters in comics, and how attitudes in the industry have changed from censorship to celebration."

I read a similar article yesterday from Newsarama (I think) that pointed out that Marvel's gay characters are more hidden and in the C or D level tiers. Sure, it's interesting that Shatterstar is gay, but he hasn't been relevant in years. Meanwhile over at DC you've got Batwoman, an openly gay superhero as the main character of their flagship Detective Comics.
- James Ferguson
DC also has Midnighter and Apollo, which are important characters over in Wildstorm
- RAPatton
Union Jack did it first. EDIT: (that is if Batman and Robin were not originally meant to be gay).

Finally finished The Big O. I hate that a majority of Anime series seem to lose it at the end and make no goddamn sense.

The last episode of this series confused me more than that of Neon Genesis Evangelion. I almost would have preferred if it went for the other usual Anime ending of killing every character.

"FEED is a book about politics, corruption, presidential campaigns, journalism, integrity, escapism, the traditional news media, and how Livejournal saved the world from the living dead. It's about reporters, writers, idiots who like to poke dangerous things with sticks, the things that keep them together, and the things that tear them apart."

"It's also about, well, zombies. Lots of zombies. What happens to a society when it has to live with the constant threat of zombies. What that does to the entertainment industry. To social patterns. To clothing styles. To the way that people interact. To funeral rites. Basically, it's an unholy cross between TRANSMETROPOLITAN and NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD, with a little FEAR AND LOATHING IN LAS VEGAS on the side."

I read World War Z earlier this year and loved it. This book sounds like it's along the same lines, but on a slightly different mode. Still very interesting though.
