In 1999 when thousands of activists were heading to Seattle to shut down the World Trade Organization in protest of free market globalization, "The Yes Men" created an incredibly convincing satirical website mimicking the real WTO website. The success and publicity of this hoax launched their mission to get untold stories into the media by way of satire and attention-grabbing stunts. Sep 28, 2009 1:12 PM

Originally called Nirvana, the band quickly changed its name to Kashmir due to the Seattle based grungeband of the same name, breaking through at the time. The name derived from the Led Zeppelin song Kashmir, since this was the only song all band members could agree upon, since their various musical tastes were diverse.

Headline Tag: Celebrities Rating: Good Hits: 2572 Comments: 20 Religion Kills Free Speech Religion Kills Free Speech A billboard with the message "Imagine No Religion" is no more. Sign company General Outdoor removed the sign by the Freedom From Religion Foundation on Thursday after it received a request by the city to do so. According to Redevelopment Director Linda Daniels, City Hall had received 90 calls of complaint since Wednesday. "We contacted the sign company and asked if there was a way to get it removed," Daniels said. The billboard - which went up last week on the southwest corner of Archibald Avenue and Foothill Boulevard - is part of a national billboard campaign by the Wisconsin-based group advocating the separation of church and state. The foundation's co-president, Annie Laurie Gaylor, said the billboard is meant to encourage a debate on religion by using the John Lennon-inspired message. Gaylor was shocked over the city's role in the billboard's demise. "The city has no business suggesting our billboard be censored," Gaylor said. "They're not allowed to interfere over religious controversy." It was the second billboard to come down following city request. In September, the city asked a different sign company to take down an advertisement on Foothill Boulevard advertising a vagina rejuvenation procedure. Daniels said the city did not demand General Outdoor take down the "Imagine No Religion" sign. "We didn't say they had to (take it down), but they respected the Advertisement concerns of residents," Daniels said. The sign was the first in California for the foundation, whose members are atheists and agnostics. Gaylor said sign companies have declined business before, but no company has taken down a sign after it went up. The group currently has signs in Atlanta, Phoenix and Seattle. "My gosh, we have a billboard in Colorado Springs right now, about a mile from Focus on the Family," said Gaylor, referring to the evangelical organization headquartered in Colorado Springs. "If we can have it in Colorado Springs, why not in Rancho Cucamonga? It doesn't speak well for the state of tolerance if you have to stifle your critics." Peter Scheer, executive director of the California First Amendment Coalition, said the city's actions are "dangerously close" to censorship and a violation of the First Amendment. "A city government has no business trying to dictate or influence the content of an advertising image, particularly one that's political and controversial as this is simply because some people don't like it and complained about it," Scheer said. "The whole point of the First Amendment is to protect speech that is unpopular, to protect the views that are in the political minority, as long as they don't cross the line and use the speech for some seriously unlawful purpose, which clearly did not happen here." Scheer said the city may not have forced General Outdoor to take down the sign, but it's obvious the company did not act independently. "It's pretty clear that if the city didn't pick up the phone, the image would still be there," Scheer said. User: spam_vigilante Aug 31, 2009 1:25 PM

Permanent Tag: Celebrities Rating: Amazing Hits: 343 Comments: 0 Last Days Last Days Gus Van Sant’s Last Days is a film about the death of Kurt Cobain. While the name of the main character has been changed from Kurt to Blake and the setting of the suicide changed from a greenhouse in Seattle to a greenhouse in upstate New York, there’s no mistaking this film is the product of Van Sant’s imagination pursuing the final, lonely moments of the great ’90s icon. Rock biopic fans seeking a traditionally gratifying plot should run as fast as they can from this movie and see Rock Star or Sid and Nancy instead; Gus Van Sant’s methodology is all about the slow, oppressive creep of time. One shot lingers excruciatingly long on some random foliage outside Blake’s (Michael Pitt, The Dreamers) mansion. In another, he makes cereal. Then he sits on a bench for awhile. Or mumbles dialogue to a Yellow Pages ad salesman played by a real-life Yellow Pages ad salesman. Or gradually collapses while watching a Boyz 2 Men video. Meanwhile, Blake’s parasitical hangers-on are slightly more animated, occupying his chilly house and clearly on their way to becoming as existentially destitute as he. Sonic Youth’s Kim Gordon appears, pretty much reprising an interventionist role she must have played with the real-life Cobain, but this rock star is far beyond rescuing from the brink. Later, when Blake ventures into town to see a punk show, he is cornered by an acquaintance played by Harmony Korine, who tells him a hilarious story about playing Dungeons and Dragons with Jerry Garcia. Where the accumulation of small moments like these don’t add up to much drama, they create a pervading sense of dread and sad inevitability. In his life, Cobain railed against all that was phony and hyped; by crafting a visual poem resolutely defiant of rock star spectacle, Van Sant honors the late singer as sincerely as he can, by keeping it real.

Headline Tag: New York Rating: Good Hits: 1057 Comments: 0 Matt Held Facebook Portraits Matt Held Facebook Portraits Matt Held, a fine artist with a specialisation in portraiture, was blocked. After upping sticks from Seattle to NYC in his late thirties, young family in tow, as a last chance at 'making it', he became a stay at home Dad with the couple's new child. Nothing he did worked. Until, as an exercise in skintone, he painted his wife's facebook profile photo. Shortly after, the "I'll have my portrait painted by Matt Held" facebook group was born, and Matt was presented with no end of source material, inspiration, and an instant international network of influencers. Brooklyn Museum came calling, the blog posts spread and his numbers soared. We hang with Matt's family, and talk to No.16, No.33 and No.36 about why they were keen to be painted by someone they've never met, and what the project means to them.

Simple answer is: no, not really. Judging on what I saw last night on the premier of America's Got Talent, 9 times out of 10 we've got nothing. The first round of auditions brought us to New York, Chicago, and Seattle. The two sibling singing groups, Voices of Glory and the Eriam Sisters, were relatively impressive and definitely had inspiring stories to tell. Other than that, here's some of the "talent" they showcased: -an Obama impersonator who sang James Brown (B+ for looking Presidential, C- for not keeping up the act) -a guy who can put a drill through his nose (zzz, like that hasn't been done before) -an owner and his hyper dog who can jump really high to catch frisbees (I admit this was awesome, but clearly the dog is the only one with talent) -a David Hasselhoff super fan with an acoustic guitar (loving the Hoff isn't a talent; it's a given) No Susan Boyle equivalent in sight yet, but we've got all season. For tonight's episode, the show is hitting up Houston, Miami, and Los Angeles to scout out the best of what America has to offer and so far the bar is pretty low. on TV tonight: Im a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here (NBC, 8) Season Finale...Go Lou Diamond!
