Art Project of the Day: Fabian Brunsing’s public art installation “Pay & Sit: The Private Bench” imagines a dystopian tomorrow in which even the most quotidian of conveniences — resting a moment on a park bench — have become soulless objects of enterprise.

[video description: trailer for the film “Easy A”. Plot is that a high school girl pretends to have sex with a guy at a party to help his reputation. She starts doing this for lots of guys and earns the reputation of a ‘slut’.]
I actually think this looks really funny. And has quite a bit of potential to turn slut shaming on its head. I think/hope it’s going to show how ridiculous it is to judge a person by their perceived sexuality.
(Based solely on the trailer, the only problematic thing I see is that one of the guys is gay, and pursues the fake sex to make people think he’s straight. Problematic because being gay shouldn’t be a bad thing. But truthful for a lot of high school students, I imagine).
I MUST SEE THIS MOVIE.
I really want to see this movie.

Comic Sans
…noob mistake or brilliant PR move? The amount of press Dan Gilbert has gotten mocking his use of comic sans in his epic LeBron bitchfest letter has ensured that the letter itself has received wide distribution. Probably wider than the letter may have otherwise received. Whether or not the letter was a good idea in the first place is a separate issue, but for better or for worse people are reading it. At one point last night “comic sans” was a trending topic on twitter, above “LeBron James”. That’s one way to get your (petty, juvenile, angry, making promises you can’t keep) message out there.
