From Adbusters Blog
Earlier this month, reporters from Canadian Business sat down with Adbusters Editor-in-Chief Kalle Lasn to ask his thoughts on what Occupy might look like in 2012. Here’s what he had to say.
Canadian Business: On the U.S. presidential election:
Kalle Lasn: Most young people, 99% of the occupiers I would say, are pretty disillusioned with Obama. We feel that he has become a kind of a gutless wonder who didn’t do what he had promised. He has disappointed us bitterly. When it comes to a choice between somebody like Rick Perry and Obama, then of course people will vote for Obama, but not in great numbers and without much enthusiasm.
I think the really interesting thing that could happen leading up to the presidential election is that there will be rumblings of third parties. Especially people in the Occupy movement are totally sick of this Coca-Cola/Pepsi kind of choice that Americans have had for so long. They’re yearning for a real choice, for real democracy, and we may well see the beginnings of a third party rising next year. Of course, I don’t think that it will suddenly challenge the Republican and Democratic parties, but it could well play the role of the spoiler in the way that Ralph Nader and Ross Perot and the Green Party have never quite been able to do.

Na onda de agradecer ao primeiro milhão de fãs no Facebook, a Cadbury fez um “joinha” gigante de chocolate.
A construção durou 48 horas e 3 toneladas de chocolate.
Como você deve imaginar, as reclamações de desperdício de comida foram os primeiros comentários sobre a iniciativa. Porém, a Cadbury disse que doou os chocolates para uma empresa especializada em pesquisa de combustíveis renováveis.
Tá aí uma boa desculpa para a sua próxima ideia que envolva emissão de gases poluentes – comerciais com piadas de flatulência não entram – e desperdício de materiais.

I took my first Kodak Photo Spot (wiki) pictures at my spring break trip to the Disney World in the mid-1990s, and through all these years I’ve never stopped admiring their genius. It’s a marketing idea whose elegance has rarely been emulated. I love how organically spreadable the signs were, how they subtly nudged you to spend another scarce frame of film, and how they made people’s lives a little bit better by giving their memories just the right composition.
Of course today the Kodak Picture Spot is something that could probably be built straight into the digital camera wired to recognize the subject and to statistically analyze thousands of photos taken from the same spot to recommend the optimal composition and camera settings.
“As photography became more engrossed in American culture in the early 20th century, The Eastman Kodak Company began to look for new ways to advertise photography and its cameras. With the rise of the automobile industry and the development of American highways, the company began a campaign called “Kodak Scenic Spots.” Starting in 1920, Kodak began to place signs throughout American highways that advertised both their name and the practice of photography by marking interesting and beautiful scenery. Initially, these signs appeared on the roads outside of Kodak’s hometown of Rochester, NY in order to test the effectiveness of the idea. Within a year, they began sending members of their advertising department across the country to select the most scenic views to be awarded signs. By 1939, Kodak had placed 6,000 scenic spot signs across the country.
The exact phrases used in these signs changed over time. When the company began the campaign, the signs read: “Picture Ahead! Kodak as you go.” Eventually, the use of the work “Kodak” as a verb was stopped and the signs were changed to read: “Kodak Scenic Spot.” After the initial campaign ended in 1939, Kodak continued to place these signs sporadically in theme parks and tourist locations until the late 1980s. These signs also carried a new label, which read: “Kodak Picture Moment.”

atualizado – Luisa é com z
Os dias passam, todos falam o tempo todo de algo muito engraçado: pode ser o choque do Lasier, o Lidio Mateus cantando uma música do Fresno, todo mundo falando qualquer coisa, só que ao contrário, ou mesmo descartando a Luisa, que está no Canadá.
Acho meio mágico milhares, talvez milhões, de pessoas rindo e produzindo conteúdo humorístico com a mesma deixa e raramente havendo alguma peça que não tenha graça. Foda. Pra gente que vive reclamando da vida mesmo vivendo muito mais e melhor que qualquer dos nossos antepassados jamais sonhou viver, deveria ser um alento e tanto. Mas não é.
Tem um momento que o tal do senso comum decide que acabou a piada, que ela cansou. Mas ela não cansou, em minha opinião. São alguns rabugentos cujas piadas não foram muito bem sucedidas ou que perderam a deixa.
Aliás, pior, que perderam a graça. E, dentre os mistérios da mente humana, está este: a tentação de aderir ao corte, o medo de passar a linha social do “basta”, de ir além do embargo pela repetição, de não se permitir rir e rir e rir da mesma coisa, que, no final das contas, esta sim, não perdeu a graça. Afinal, senhoras e senhores, uma das regras basilares do humor é a repetição.
Escrevo para decretar que, a despeito de toda babaquice vespertina global, para mim, a Luisa nunca vai voltar do Canadá. E tenho dito.
