A solid critique from Greg Foyster,  ex-insider of arguably the most destructive industry in the world calls bullshit on the “wonderful” world of Advertising … i would only add that the Gruen Transfer would not only have had little industry support if it had actually critiqued advertising in any serious way but would also nor been allowed by the network for fear of losing advertisers themselves. What brand would like to run its ad right after the show explains why they are selling you lies?  (via The Big Pitch: Selling Advertising to the Public | Kill Your Darlings)

… to suggest that if anyone involved in the production of this front cover looked at it and thought “You know what? This is exactly what a newspaper is meant to be” then they have no business using the title journalist. Just call yourselves propagandists and be done with it, because this thing is closer to the output of a Stalinist regime than anything contained in the 2012 Budget.

Haven’t seen a better summary of whats wrong with The Australian (and pretty much the Australian Media) for some time (and there’s been a few!)  …  (via Let’s talk about the cover of today’s Australian - Life | thevine.com.au) (thanks  DanCass.com

Excellent article on the reasons why climate denialists will never accept the facts and why we need to just step over them and get on with saving life (as we know it!) on the planet  (via No one likes to change their mind, not even on climate)

“Quote”

True perfection seems imperfect,
yet it is perfectly itself.
True fullness seems empty,
yet it is fully present.

True straightness seems crooked.
True wisdom seems foolish.
True art seems artless.

The Master allows things to happen.
He shapes events as they come.
He steps out of the way
and lets the Tao speak for itself.

— Tao Te Ching
