		<description><![CDATA[This last June, after Sebastian Horsley died in Soho at the age of 47 from a heroin overdose, I began thinking about this genre of rich wastrel louches. We in the white, waking world are fascinated by stories of Edies and Huntington Hartfords who have it all and waste it all. Of Horsley, The Guardian put it best: Despite his louche self-destruction&#8211;Horsley attempted his own crucifixion in 2000 in the Philippines&#8211;for the past two years he had got up at 7 am to plough up and down the local swimming pool. &#8230;A quote that, to this day, makes me laugh:  &#8220;Oh, and by the way, he attempted a self-crucifixion.  But!  Now about his swimming routine!&#8221; I was struck by the similarities between him and someone else, another rich-boy aesthete with queer artistic tendencies:  Fred Holland Day. I first became acquainted with Fred Holland Day&#8217;s photography on a hot day in East Africa&#8211;Kisumu, right on the fetid, humid shores of Lake Victoria&#8211;in the British Council Library.  The British Council was a quiet, blessed island of relief from the bush. Paging through a retrospective of early 20th century photographers, my jaw dropped when I first saw F. Holland Day&#8217;s crucifixion series, and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I first encountered China Miéville via his stunning third novel, The Scar. What I find amazing about this interview with Miéville about his latest novel, Kraken, in The Onion&#8217;s AV Club is that The Scar isn&#8217;t mentioned at all.  Yet so many of the commenters echo my amazement with The Scar. Words like &#8220;stunning&#8221; are cheap and too easy to toss out.  But even then, around 2002 when the novel was published, I was in my late thirties and had tons and tons of books under my belt (as a reader), and you&#8217;d think I&#8217;d be sufficiently world-weary. But I hadn&#8217;t been there, done that&#8211;to use a phrase popular around the turn of the millennium&#8211;enough to be fully prepared for Miéville&#8217;s dark, twisted, baroque worlds of Bas-Lag and New Crobuzon in The Scar and Perdido Street Station.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I cannot get this out of my head.  I had heard about Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg breaking out in a huge, visible sweat when Walter Mossberg and Kara Swisher of The Wall Street Journal asked him about privacy problems that Facebook has brought onto its users recently. Mossberg and Swisher, I should mention, did not grill Zuckerberg.  They were simply asking questions.  Yet Zuckerberg was still unable to control himself. He repeatedly says that he&#8217;s okay, and that he will not remove his famed hoodie (he supposedly never removes it).  Finally, Mossberg, as mild-mannered as ever, just says this: Mossberg:  Can you explain this personalization thing you did and why you did it and what&#8217;s the value of it to your users. Zuckerberg:  Maybe I should take off the hoodie. Swisher:  Take off the hoodie. Then about a minute of futzing while Zuckerberg removes the hoodie, complicated by the lapel mic and wires.  Mossberg and Swisher even help him with the removal. Wait, wait.  As if that&#8217;s not sublime enough, after the hoodie is off, Swisher notices a mysterious symbol on the inside-back: Swisher reads some of the words, and then: Swisher:  &#8230;this weird symbol in the middle that is [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The diplomatic meeting is of no consequence.  It&#8217;s just a minor blip on the radar of classified documents published by Wikileaks. On December 17, 1975, in Paris, U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger met Abdelaziz Bouteflika Minister of Foreign Affairs of Algeria.  As published in a secret memorandum, the first part of the exchange sounds like something straight out of an Ian Fleming novel. Kissinger:  Enfant terrible! Kissinger:  What are the most pressing problems we have to discuss? Bouteflika:  Whatever you would like. Kissinger [to Sabbagh]:  When I met him, he was a revolutionary.  Now he is a revolutionary diplomat. Bouteflika:  It is necessary, during certain parts of one&#8217;s life, if one if off on a tangent for a bit. God, how I would love to meet up with a friend and begin with &#8220;Enfant terrible!&#8221;  And you can practically see Bouteflika smoking his cigarette underhanded. Bouteflika has been President of Algeria since 1999.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By now, the Wieden &#38; Kennedy ad campaign for Old Spice, featuring Isaiah Mustafa, is a thing of legend.  Even Advertising Age, not prone to handing out cheap praise, says that they have seen nothing like The Man Your Man Could Smell Like campaign. Oh, and it&#8217;s over, too.  Really?  You didn&#8217;t even know it happened? We&#8217;ve got 5 reasons why Wieden, Old Spice, and Isaiah absolutely rocked this campaign: Isaiah Mustafa &#8211; As the saying goes, all the women love him, all the men want to be like him.  Mustafa carried his part with just the right balance of arrogant humor.  Given the difficulty of these scripts, Mustafa had his work cut out for him. Bizarre Scripts &#8211; &#8220;&#8230;I spent my younger years in a shark dentistry practice on a distant island&#8230;&#8221; Viral Like Crazy &#8211; Wieden had Mustafa tape many short spots, each aimed specifically to influence-makers in the web- and blogosphere:  @mrskutcher, @rosemcgowan, @knitmeapony, and so on.  Mustafa was so well-integrated into the viral campaign that he was even responding to blog comments himself. Incredible Visuals &#8211; GCI or not, the Swan Dive spot takes the cake for mind-blowing visuals. Quick In, Quick Out &#8211; Old Spice [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Radiohead&#8217;s &#8220;Creep,&#8221; performed by the Vega Choir of Sweden, has been burning up the Internet like a match on a gasoline-soaked haystack. Hit Play and scroll down this page and find out what&#8217;s going on with Vega Choir&#8217;s &#8220;Creep.&#8221; What is &#8220;Creep&#8221;? &#8220;Creep&#8221; is a song by English band Radiohead that was released in 1992. What is The Vega Choir? From Malmo, Sweden, Vega Choir is &#8220;25 girls from 18 to 25 years of age [who] sing mainly classic pop- and rocksongs.&#8221; Why is Vega Choir&#8217;s Version of &#8220;Creep&#8221; Suddenly So Popular? This version of &#8220;Creep&#8221; was used in the trailer for The Social Network, a movie about Mark Zuckerberg and the inception of Facebook. Not only that, Vega Choir&#8217;s version of &#8220;Creep&#8221; is a haunting, bone-chilling take on a song that many of us have known for nearly the last two decades.  &#8220;Creep&#8221; is about unrequited love, the state of being when when you love someone but they do not love you back. What Does &#8220;Creep&#8221; Have To Do With Zuckerberg and Facebook? &#8220;Creep&#8221; is also about social alienation.  Facebook, begun by very alienated geeks at Harvard, was seen as a way for even the most hated, socially awkward [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Q:  Why do some people pronounce strength as strenth? Q:  Why do self-styled badass, bro-type guys like to shake hands sideways, palms flat? A:  Likely solved.  A friend suggested to me that it&#8217;s a dominating move, especially since their hands are on top, facing downward. Q:  Why does Pink in the movie Pink Floyd&#8217;s The Wall have to break the razor in half in order to shave his eyebrows? Q:  Why do people on airplanes drink tomato juice?  Tomato juice is rarely consumed elsewhere. Q:  Why has the word &#8220;midget&#8221; gone out of fashion? Q:  What&#8217;s the name of that zippy 1960s-era tune that seems to symbolize the 1960s and which was also in The Secretary and which has bedeviled me for 27 years? A:  Solved.  It&#8217;s called Music To Watch Girls Go By by The Bob Crewe Generation. Q:  Why are those &#8220;ziplocs&#8221; built into products nowadays not worth a damn? Q:  Why do so many beefy, bulked-up gym guys have the legs of a 12 year-old girl? Q:  What is that funny-but-poignant commercial from years ago where children say they want to &#8220;become middle management&#8221; and &#8220;be a yes man,&#8221; etc.?
