I like the way the walls go out. Gives you an open feeling. Firefly is a good design. People don't appreciate the substance of things. Objects in space. People miss out on what's solid.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Well, especially given the composition of that shot...

Seriously!!

Seriously, every corporation needs a "That's what she said" intern.

Yeah, I had to do that at my old job once -- thank goodness I was in the meeting where they were brainstorming names, because I was the only native English speaker of my generation in the room (and we were talking about a product for younger people). So I put the kibosh on anything about "my box" for a project for girls...

Always Anti-fascist!

My editing teacher(taught headlines and such) said you could almost never overestimate how dirty people's minds are. His favorite example involved some women's basketball Beavers.

If an A-Bomb Falls

From Ethan Persoff's "Comics With Problems, this 8-page bomb scare tract: If an A-Bomb Falls. Good to know that a housewife who keeps her husband's home tidy and free of stray trash is also protecting her family from certain nuclear death.

I had to stop the presses once on a lipstick ad with an intentionally retouched phallic shadow that was going into a yearbook for kids we were publishing.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Was someone fired?

So ever since 1944, the US Navy has dominated the oceans of the world. It looks like that's about over.

Experimental Chinese missile knocks out Navy carriers in one hit

Aircraft carriers such as the USS George Washington supercarrier (pictured) represent the American Navy's most formidable force, able to overwhelm any target on land, in the air, or at sea. Now, the Dong Feng 21D anti-ship missile could change everything.

The Dong Feng 21D is considered to be a new class of weapon, being identified as an ASBM, or anti-ship ballistic missile. If it does what it's supposed to, it'll be the first land-launched missile in the world capable of hitting a moving aircraft carrier from a range of 900 miles. The game-changing nature of this weapon is especially apparent when you consider that China commands a coastline 11,200 miles long, and the 21D could knock out a carrier before it gets into range of the mainland.

My next project has an interior photo of a village in Northeastern France. The village of Bitche. Captioned as such.

It has apparently been in the book for at least 3 editions. Seriously? No one suggested to at least change the caption?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Sure, but that's the sort of thing that inspires kids to be engaged in their foreign language courses.
