Hello again, I’m your Web 2.0 travel and adventure guide, Wiki Safari, back to tell you about the most interesting articles I’ve discovered today in that untamed wild known as Reddit.
* The BBC brings us What You See Might Not Be Real by Chinese artist Chen Wenling. A masterpiece of art that I am having a hard time fully understanding. Is it a critique of Wall St. or praise? The powerful Wall Street bull is destroying the devil/Madoff character. Has Wall Street with a gust of wind so easily destroyed its demonic overlords?
* Mad Magazine also takes on the financial crisis, with a Geico spoof. Good to see something quality from Mad, I used to be a subscriber. Cracked really seems to have leaped ahead of Mad, at least in the online space. Still I remember reading all of my Dad’s old Mad’s. The back catalog is an interesting way to get a taste of the cultural zeitgeist of any given era.
* Time has an interesting discussion on whether or not Chicago should even try to get the Olympics. Our president would like it, and certainly holding the Olympics is quite a prestigious event, but as the article points out hosting them often turns out to be more trouble than it is worth. Atlanta was one of the few winners in the Olympics game, so maybe Chicago could emulate them? Still with a city as known for its corruption as Chicago, it’s hard to believe that the Olympics could ever come in under budget.
* listentothis had a couple good songs today:
Me and Mia by Ted Leo (see also)
La Femme D’Argent by Air, set to a really awesome old timey video of San Fran
* Bell Labs has another humorous block as a Viking. No penalty this time though.
And to wrap things up here is the Wiki article of the day: snowclone
