...Having finished a year-and-a-half of service as a faculty member of the Ad Board last June, I was shocked by The Crimson’s opinion of the Ad Board (“Bad Board,” editorial, Oct. 22). First, it was simply riddled with factual errors. For example, contrary to your statement that resident deans are “outranked” by the faculty, in fact there are only two or three faculty members on the Ad Board at any time, and over a dozen resident deans; we all get equal votes. Even...
...linger just a little too long on the familiar greeting. In the intervening eight years, the friends have gotten older - and under the Bush Administration, their circumstances have changed. They're not "Watchin' the game. Havin' a Bud." Wassup Dude #1 - director Charles Stone, who also created the original ad - says, instead, that he's "Lost my home. Lookin' for a job." Wassup Dude #2, calling from a slightly inexplicable battlefield payphone, is "Still in Iraq. Watchin' my ass." Their uninsured buddy has an arm cast and neck brace and needs "money for painkillers." A four-eyed Dookie, still...
...video ends with a disclaimer that the views expressed "DO NOT REFLECT THE OPINIONS OF ANHEUSER-BUSCH COS INC." - and considering John McCain's wife Cindy is the heiress to an Anheuser-Bush beer distributor fortune, that's probably not a surprise. But an ad that manages to humorously skewer the Bush Administration's record while subtly tying it to McCain's (Stone is watching a McCain speech in the spot's open) and dust off a fondly-remembered if little-mourned catchphrase? That's sure to give a few Joe Sixpacks pause. True...
...this was a crippling blow to his legacy, Stevens didn't let on. The Senator, who is currently up for re-election, treated the verdict like it was just another attack ad in a political season, issuing a statement that hit right back at "prosecutorial misconduct." He promised, as he has in the past, to fight for his election to the finish, and to "fight this unjust verdict with every ounce of energy I have." Said Stevens: "I am innocent." He will head to Alaska later this week, presumably to take part in a debate with his opponent on Thursday...
...opened Action/Abstraction: Pollock, de Kooning, and American Art, 1940-1976 this week. (Click here for a review.) Billing itself as the "first major U.S. exhibition to reconsider Abstract Expressionism in over 20 years," the show takes a look at 50 works by such artists as Helen Frankenthaler, Jasper Johns, Ad Reinhardt and Frank Stella through the lens of two contemporary art critics, Clement Greenberg and Harold Rosenberg, as they dueled over the meaning of changes in the art world. Through Jan. 11, 2009. 1 Fine Arts Drive, Forest Park...
