(TrendHunter.com) Peacocks have been a heavy influence for a wide range of fashion designers this season who sought inspiration from the brilliant blues, turquoises, greens and purples of the arrogant birds.

The offer to cap gas prices at $2.99 for three years seems to be working for Chrysler, Jeep and Dodge. But it also appears to have started a contest among op-ed writers to see who can muster the most dire scenario for how this gimmicky promotion will actually send our society off the rails and into the ravine of crippling oil dependency. Writing in The New York Times, Thomas L. Friedman says it’s “the moral equivalent of tobacco companies offering discounted cigarettes to teenagers.†However, Friedman admits that his take pales in comparison to that of Tim Shriver, who wrote in Monday’s Washington Post: “So Dodge wants to sell you a car you don’t really want to buy, that is not fuel-efficient, will further damage our environment, and will further subsidize oil states, some of which are on the other side of the wars we’re currently fighting. … The planet be damned, the troops be forgotten, the economy be ignored: buy a Dodge.†It’s a little wordy for a tagline, but it might be worth testing in a few select markets. UPDATE: More skepticism found here.

If Barack Obama wins the election this fall, some consumer brands can bask in the glory of being presidential favorites. A piece this week in The New York Times offered a list of Obama’s “likes and dislikes.†Though no brand names appeared on the dislikes list (just generic items like mayonnaise and asparagus), the likes roster included Planters Trail Mix: Nuts, Seeds & Raisins, Dentyne Ice, Nicorette, MET-Rx chocolate roasted peanut protein bars, and “handmade milk chocolates from Fran’s Chocolates in Seattle.†A larger article, to which the likes-and-dislikes list was a brief sidebar, mentioned Black Forest Berry Honest Tea as another Obama favorite. On the whole, the faves list skews a bit more upscale than seems ideal for a candidate who’s trying to strengthen his appeal to blue-collar voters, so Obama may wish to keep some of these preferences under wraps until after Election Day.

Leave it to the professionally offended to ruin everything. This time it’s Michelle Malkin, who led a charge of blogosphere criticism against Dunkin’ Donuts because one of its ads featured Rachael Ray wearing a scarf that sort of looks like an Arab headdress. Malkin says, in essence, that doing so supports terrorism. Despite Ray not wearing the scarf on her head, Dunkin’ pulled the ad to avoid “the possibility of misperception.†Malkin responded by saying she was glad an American company took a stand against Islamic terrorism. As opposed to all the American companies that support it. Sheesh. Something tells us this is where Michelle would like to see future American marketing efforts go.

LONDON – Grisly images of bloody wounds are used in a new £3m three-year Home Office campaign created by young people to shock their peers into thinking twice about carrying knives.
LONDON – A team of 19 skydivers will be risking their lives by jumping out of an airplane and attempting to spell out the word Honda with their bodies in a live TV ad on Channel 4 tonight.
There’s a mix pop art, cartoon aesthetics and ukiyo-e prints in the exhibition currently running at the Flomenhaft Gallery. But there’s also some dark pages from American history.
American Infamy #3
Born in Seattle in 1939, Roger Shimomura was two years old when he entered a Japanese American internment with his parents and relatives. Minidoka (Idaho) was one of ten hostile desert relocation centers. When Japan attacked the U.S. in the Pacific and World War II started, some 120,000 people of Japanese ancestry, 62% of whom were U.S. citizens, were regarded as suspects, spies and dangers no matter how long they had lived in the U.S. or how devoted they were to their adoptive country. It constituted the single largest forced relocation in U.S. history. Most of these camps/residences, gardens, and stock areas were placed on Native American reservations, for which the Native Americans were neither compensated nor consulted.
Roger was five when the Shimomura’s were permitted to return to Seattle.
Custom Homes (Suite of 5 paintings), 2007
To create the Minidoka on My Mind series, Shimomura had to collect scraps of memories from the back of his brain, consult archives and get some help from the diaries of Toku, his grandmother. For 56 years, from the day she left Japan to come to America until she died, Toku meticulously described daily domestic tasks and weather conditions in succinct phrases, sometimes despairing but never expressing anger.
Block Dance, 2007
What makes the paintings striking is that the prisoners are dressed in what was (i guess) very fashionable in the U.S. at the time. Prisoners look very American, they do their best to get with a normal life while they are kept under constant watch by fellow (albeit whiter and carrying binoculars and machine gun) Americans.
American Alien #4
One painting, Not a J.A. (Japanese American) depicts a young guy called Ichiro playing baseball behind barbed wire. The Enemy #2 shows a young Japanese in traditional clothing smiling behind barbed wires. Block Dance shows a teenagers’ party, they dance and flirt but they are confined inside a stern barrack.
As a journalist of the Seattle PI commented, In an age of surveillance and a time of war, “Minidoka on My Mind” has relevance beyond its immediate subject. If you’re walking down a city street, chances are good some camera is tracking you. And no imagination is necessary to relate to the idea of a military operation hanging over daily life like a dark cloud or a term like “enemy alien” used to frighten people. Given the climate of xenophobia and suspicion that is taking Italy by storm these days (although in my personal experience there is nothing really new, being a foreigner in this country can definitely not be equaled to a long string of laughters), we need more works like Shimomura’s to remind us that fear might not always be the wisest adviser.
