This very funny video from UCB.com wrings laughs out of the Gulf oil spill by portraying BP as a bunch of gibbering subnormals. Is it funny? Unquestionably. But they should've taken that next step.

The UK’s Prospect Magazine has an interesting, instructive discussion of the decadent narcissistic bankrupt quality of much modern art. It helped me understand why I find it so repellent, and am so antsy for the next authentic vision to arrive.
