...Look, I don't want it to seem like I'm bashing everything about Lil Wayne and Jay-Z, because I'm not. I think they're both very talented. If you look at the metaphors Lil Wayne produces, they're amazing; they're very creative. It's the substance. What are you making metaphors about 24 hours a day? Same thing with Jay-Z. Even he has acknowledged that he's "dumbed his music down" so that he can sell records. This economic imperative has had more of an impact on hip-hop than [on] rock or soul...
...hallmark of modern pop culture is that everyone's famous and nobody's shocked. And when fans search the past, they look to venerate artists who were once pariahs. The movies of Bettie Page, the actress-model who died Thursday, Dec. 11, at 85 in Los Angeles after a heart attack, couldn't be more infra dig: they were sold under the counter, mailed in plain brown wrappers. Yet decades later she was elevated to the status of pulp goddess. The beatification process began in 1980, when artist Dave Stevens created a Bettie character in his graphic novel The Rocketeer...
...Humans are sized like the real deal. No really enormous noses, either. You want your character to be as obese as a tech-gossip blogger? Sorry, only the slightest of beer guts is permitted in Home. And if you want to create a female avatar, she's got to look like something from Playboy, circa 1968. No Kate Moss here...
...warrants don't look too promising, either. The stocks of most of the banks the Treasury has invested in have fallen in the past two months, rendering the warrants worthless, at least for now. Some of the warrants may never have any value. Shares of Goldman Sachs, for instance, were trading at an average of $113 in mid-October. That means the stock would have to climb nearly 60% from its current $71 before the government would be able to turn a profit exercising its Goldman warrants...
...about $500 million to build or upgrade enclosures designed to improve the lives of 250 animals - but nothing so far suggests that does much to improve captive elephants' health or longevity. In Kenya, on the other hand, the wildlife service has an annual budget of just $20 million to look after tens of thousands of elephants. What's more, while Asian elephants remain in jeopardy - with only about 60,000 of them left - cost-effective wildlife-protection programs have allowed the African elephant population to rebound to a robust 500,000. "African elephants are a conservation success story," says Mason...
