A fantastic article by everyone’s favorite curmudgeon/cultural protector/theatre critic, Jason Rohrer. Contains harsh language and potentially inflammatory statements. Please don’t click HERE if you think this might upset you.
For the past couple of weeks, I’ve been taken with the political theater that
comes from meme culture. I don’t mean the
cat-stuck-in-a-goldfish-bowl-talking-gibberish kind; to hell with that. I
agree that much Internet imagery seems designed to defeat the truism that a
picture’s worth a thousand words. But some of it’s pretty poignant.
I don’t know, but it seems to me that in this regard, a few folks are doing a
lot with very little. Take the Yes Men, for example:

Warning: political content. Opinions. Stupidity, mostly on my
part. Also contains links to a couple of my latest reviews.
