This despicable, desperate, duplicitous couple disgraced the Secret Service and embarrassed the president in his home.

LA has a way to go before it is a culture capital

the goal of reshaping the world capital of entertainment into a world capital of culture is a worthwhile one. But, there is a lot more work to be done. LA will not get there if the leading civic lights declare mission accomplished and explain the failure of the rest of the world to get it as just a PR problem.

Opinion: I don't agree with this writer. I have lived near LA not long, but not short. In culture matter, LA has numerous cultural areas within itself. Korea town, Japan town, China town and etc. If people are not reluctant to be in isolated area in those cultural towns, the LA is a big cultural capital.

Addicted to Money

FEW economists can explain the global financial crisis as lucidly or engagingly as David McWilliams. His take on consumer culture, for instance, is illustrated via the long-running Aussie soap Neighbours. "Some time in the 1990s," McWilliams argues, "the sets began to resemble a shoppers' paradise, full of the gadgets we couldn't really afford." It's true: back in the '80s, the Ramsays and the Robinsons were content in their daggy but comfortable, three-bedroom homes.

What a way to grab guys' attention. The advertisement of women in bathing suits is very American cultural code that attracts both men and women gender. i don't know about the women, but my question is how many men will get what the sexy females are advertising right then. I wouldn't. I wouldn't even recognize if the dog is made of tofu, checking out the ladies, unless they tell me. Advertisements, sometimes, make themselves irrational to the products they are trying to sell. I saw this ad in this magazine one day. There was this hot girl standing with sexy pose, not even smoking. Then there was logo of "Camel" at the right bottom of the page. It lost me right then. I enjoyed looking at the girl in the image, but when I came to recognize the ad is for camel cigarettes, I got distracted and was forced to forget it. What is happening in the image has strong impact and weak communication. The guy that holds the dog in the image may only remember the phone number the playmate give or how hot the girl was, but none of PETA.

I don't really read news or anything like it. I wasn't really aware of the topic when I just researched it on the internet. I found out that they were one of the extremists. The problem the extremist has had through history was that they want the change fast. They think stronger protest brings the quicker social or global change, which is wrong. Society may just think of them ignorant about it and disdainful because of their movement resulting social disorder. Protest has to be reasonable to claim people over to agree. Derek Jenson was another case. His speech to bring people, distorting the social code of "Hope" was very friendly and interesting to read, even though it was a bit extreme.
