"For some reason"? Do you need a reason to play classical music? It beats hearing Lady frakking Gaga and Katy frakking Perry over and over again, which seems to be the norm everywhere at the moment.
Congrats Laura Jacobs on making breasts hideously ugly. The reason these aren't displayed on models is that they couldn't get anyone to wear the monstrosities.
The sad part is that the coin tradition probably didn't last because some few losers were desperate enough to peel the coins off the gum and use them to... buy more gum, no doubt.
Awesome. It's nice to see the typical ugliness of necessary structures given some thought and whimsy. Now they need to get to work on dressing up those hideous cell towers I see everywhere. I saw one near Glacier National Park disguised as an evergreen and immediately wondered why it was the only one.
"Weird" is not necessarily a moral judgement, any more than "normal" is, or for that matter, "freak." Those who are offended by such labels ought to look at what they really mean and examine their own hang-ups about it before trying to police other people's language. You can call someone a name and they might be offended, or they might not. Which response is truly the more even-headed? "Weird" is not good or bad, it is just weird, which means outside the realm of everyday experience. To some people, that's a good thing. Others not so much. Take it as it's given, folks, before taking offense.
It never ceases to amaze me that people are still coming up with new and "original" ways to riff on a thirty-year-old film franchise. Or that I'm one of the suckers who still eat this crap up.
"Teach us! Teeeaaaach uuusss! Pleaaaase!"
No. I would not like to own J.D. Salinger's shitthrone.
