Truth in Advertising

Before and after photos from an advert in Sydney, Australia

Buy Houses in Detroit For $250, Monthly Pmt = $1

You can go to Realtor.com and search for homes for sale in any city in the U.S., and you can specify a certain price range. If you search for Detroit homes for sale between $0 and $1,000, you'll find that there are 74 homes for sale in that price range, including the bank owned bargain above for $250, with estimated monthly payments of $1. There are 4 homes for sale for $1. If you search for Detroit houses for less than $5,000, you'll have almost 1,000 homes to choose from!

Ouch

We take no stance, but there seems to be a pretty eye-opening, card pulling article going around trying to defame the works of Shepard Fairey.

On a serious note, Stephen Power's has a newly released book. The press release pretty much sums it up...
Powers records 5 years of paintings that distill the complete range of human emotion into readily recalled and related memes. These visual archetypes are aptly described by Powers as a synthesis of word and image to create a new emotional revelation . This book is published on the occasion of his Fall 2007 exhibition at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Art.

There Will Be Blood

Are you an angry man? Are you envious? Do you get envious? I have a competition in me. I want no one else to succeed. I hate most people. There are times when I, I look at people and I see nothing worth liking. I’ve built up my hatreds over the years little by little and, I see the worst in people. I don’t need to look past seeing them to get all I need. I want to earn enough money I can, get away from everyone. I can’t keep doing this on my own… with these… people.

This is the eerily relevant tagline from Paul Thomas Anderson's newest drama based on Upton Sinclair's book, Oil, which is already garnering best picture buzz.
