DC Women Kicking Ass: Superman or Super Creepy?:

dcwomenkickingass:

It seems it was just a year ago that DC was promoting an all new Superman. No red underpants! No living parents! No super marriage!

And now three writers later DC has handed its prize character over to another writer. And yesterday in the USA Today we heard even more changes are coming in …

Toronto Life: TIFF's online ticket system is much improved-oh wait...:

Check out how Toronto Life’s initially fawning review of the “improved” ticketing system for the Toronto International Film Festival had to be updated after the inconvenient truth was pointed out by those who actually used it. LOL!

Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose!

After years n’ years of frustrating crashes on the first day of buying tickets, The Toronto International Film Festival finally committed to upgrading their ticketing software for 2012 … So excited to finally experience.. Oh..

TIFF.net failure is a Canadian tradition, like Bonhomme or Roll Up The Rim.

iheartchaos: The Venezuelan poodle moth is the best moth It’s...

The Venezuelan poodle moth is the best moth

It’s been compared to a fluffy dog, a Pokemon character and a Power Rangers villain — but whatever it is, the Venezuelan poodle moth has captured the Internet like Mothra in a bad Japanese movie. Now it’s up to the experts to figure out exactly where this moth belongs on the tree of life.

The first thing to emphasize is that the poodle moth is no phony concoction like the jackalope, dogerpillar or chupacabra. Its cute, furry, scary look is totally in line with what’s expected for a neotropical ornamental moth. In fact, cryptozoologist Karl Shuker found a similar picture of a white, fuzzy critter known as Diaphora mendica, or muslin moth, a member of the lepidopteran family Arctiidae.

Similarly if you are a PR pro on Twitter who just tweets about PR … Do you feel a deep sense of shame & horror?

Evolution of a love meme

Mon, 19 Mar 2012 16:25:19 -0400

The Israel loves Iran campaign began Saturday night with graphic artists Ronny Edry and Michal Tamir. The married couple created a Love & Peace Campaign Facebook page to collect the posters Israelis had created of themselves with statements like “Israel loves Iran” & “Iranians we will never bomb your country.”

Two days later, Iranians have responded with their own posters using the same colourful meme style: “My Israeli friends, I do not hate you. I do not want war.”
