two words:

DOLPHIN HEAD.

i wouldnt categorize this as the most profound thing i've seen, firstly.

however, considering the simpsons lately and how they are, as my friend said it best, "family guy in yellow," there was something ballsy about making that the intro and putting banksy in charge.

talking about chinese factories and consumerism and globalization through wordless animation and in under 2 min, doesnt exactly scream Fox either.

i think that there was definitely the "oh shit, what am i watching?" factor when the underground factory workers and eerie cathedral voices begin to resonate.

i feel that after watching this, whether you think its riviting or retarded, there is some feeling that sinks in you. whether you're shaking your head and saying "THAT'S what everyone's talking about?" or saying, "this is something that needs to be said/heard and if it takes the introduction to a light hearted animated comedic show, by all means."

whatever the feeling may be, there is certainly a feeling there.

and there is certainly a statement there.

rain.

mortality and other stories.

i was reading recently a website that documents the last meals of every person who has been executed in the u.s. since 2006 (there's another site that documents since capital punishment BEGAN, but i can't seem to locate that one).
i find it fascinating that there's a food bucket-list of sorts right before you're going to be killed for a crime. it's like putting someone in a comfortable chair right before you shoot them. i find it even more fascinating what people chose as their meals.

many people declined eating anything.
then there were people like mauriceo brown.

he asked for: 15 enchiladas with heavy cheese and onions, onion rings or fries, 8 pieces of fried chicken and 8 pieces of BBQ chicken, 8 whole peppers, 10 hard shell tacos with plenty of meat, cheese, onions and sauce, 4 double meat-double cheese-double bacon burgers, a boneless t-bone steak with A1 sauce and a pan of peach cobbler.

by the way, some states have a $15 limit for your last meal. so now its like sitting in a comfortable chair that breaks in 15 minutes.

its interesting to see true elements of character emerge when death is coming.
how do people act when they sense death is near?
how is it different when you know death is near?

losing love is like a window in your heart.

evertbody sees you're blown apart.
