Wynton Marsalis Agrees with Crazy Fan
At least the fan sounds crazy to me, given the reason he called “la policia”. But you be the judge.

And here is another take on this loony matter.
Art and Money

A great post from Anne Flournoy on the connection between the two.

While you are at Anne’s blog, please check out The Louise Log “… a comedy web series of short videos chronicling the life of a New York City wife and mother hell-bent on getting it right in spite of her high-maintenance husband, her addiction to caffeine and her over-active inner voice.” You’ll be delighted!

My Favorite (Extremely! Foul Language) Memo Ever
From Letters of Note via The Daily Dish:
Before we begin: the content of the following memo is absolutely filthy. If you’re easily offended, please don’t read it. Thanks.
South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut is a feature length movie based on the animated series, South Park. Prior to its release in 1999, the movie’s creators – Matt Stone and Trey Parker – were asked repeatedly by the MPAA to alter the film in order for it to gain an R rating rather than an NC-17. Below is a memo sent by Stone to the MPAA, in response to such a request.
And if you’re still with us, here’s a typical passage:
3. Although it is not animated yet, we put a new storyboard in for clarification in the scene with Saddam Hussein’s penis. The intent now is that you never see Saddam’s real penis, he in fact is using dildos both times.

My Name is Stephen and I’m a (Screen) Addict
Hello, Stephen. Welcome!
Can we talk — calmly, and without raising our voices — about screen addiction? I put it that way because no one is quicker to fall into a defensive crouch than a junkie. This is something I know from personal experience. Accusation breeds denial. I’m a social user, the addict says. Besides, I can quit anytime I want.
But can you? Can I, for that matter?
Keep coming back!
