Ladies and gentlemen, the new New Coke, Coca-Cola C2.
Writing on the Brain Another excelent commentary via A&LD. Loved the first paragraph. Interesting how A&LD likes to paraphrase articles in a way that doesn't seem to relate in any way to the content of the sources.

The New Zealand government has hit the roof and, while their lawyer wants the case thrown out before it reaches trial, even the Aussies are making concerned noises. more inside
Date Jesus. No, really. “This is a legitimate ad. I am highly spiritual, though not religious, and have often been called Jesus because of my appearance and powerful spirituality that I attempt to share with others.” more inside
Tiffany Brissette was the actress who played VICI the robot on that glorious 80s show Small Wonder. Here she is immortalized by an obsessive and confused fan base (David Zapasnik asks "have you ever ridden a robot horse?" among other things; his post is must-read). Another young girl points out "You're so beautiful in so many ways, & so are your hands & knees." more inside
