| December, 2007 Happy holidays! I saw a very negative comment the other day regarding an ad that said "Happy Holidays." Now, I am bothered by individuals that cause religious references to be removed from public places, but we should be the better person and not threaten to boycott when a company is trying to be inclusive in their communications. Don't get me wrong, I defend my right to express my beliefs, but I won't force them on someone else. I'd rather come from the other side, by appealing to people and letting my life (with it's many flaws) be my witness. The Peanuts comic strip and the Narnia books are two examples of that philosophy. Anyway, that's just my opinion. And before I forget - Merry Christmas! New Comics: Feedback: Friends of Bob: Links of the month: For a kind of dark short film with a positive message, check out More. It's a claymation mix of Brazil and 1984. A visual warning about the search for happiness through success. Finally, another short (10 min.) film with no dialog, and one of my favorites. Flat Life is a little view into the mundane and yet bizarrely intertwined lives of 4 apartment, or "flat" dwellers. Even though the main activity is easily followed throughout the film, I can almost guarantee you'll want to watch it more than once. Do you have any good links that you think I should feature? Drop me a line. |
