Fat Haters

I am appalled by Burger King after reading this article. Yes Jessica Simpson has gained weight, but so what? It is ridiculous how weight obsessed our society is. She is a beautiful woman at any size and should not be scrutinized for not starving herself. Burger King is just trying to revamp its image and be up with the times I guess. But that does not mean that the company should create this new image by jumping on the band wagon of celebrity bashing. Needless to say, I have lost respect in Burger King corporate. Thankfully I don't eat there.

Graffiti art has always been an interest of mine. I love the idea of creating art that is available for everyone to see. Unfortunately this art form is often thought of as trashy, but Paul Curtis has come up with a way to make graffiti that can be "green" and aesthetically pleasing. His idea of cleaning built up layers of soot and dirt in order to make art is unique. This is the first time I have ever heard of this form of graffiti and it is a refreshing to know that there can be this art without the use of aerosol cans.
