thedailywhat: THAT’S RACIST of the Day: Universal Pictures has apparently retreated from the idea of racial equality, having made the decision to release a de-ethnicized UK version of the Couples Retreat poster sans African-American actors Faizon Love and Kali Hawk. When asked to explain the reasoning behind the blackout, a Universal spokesman replied that aim was “to simplify the poster to actors who are most recognisable in international markets.” Universal has since apologized for the photoshop disaster and will not include the revised poster among its international marketing materials going forward.

Art & Design. Non-exclusively.
I consider this a natural evolution of my habit of putting up stuff in the MacLab for Art and Design students at Montclair State. And just like the board, I try to post as often as I can about interesting things.

Artist will be highlighted. Events will be announced. Design will be displayed. Competitions listed. Thoughts spoken. Pop culture perpetuated.

Music Player (at bottom): unfortunately it reloads with every page you open--open in new window to keep it going - please suggest tunes!

NEW! Video Player (top): showing creative, interesting and entertaining videos and media. Click playlist to see selections. Please suggest videos!

feedback/comments cmyk4life_kim@yahoo.com
Also NEED HELP WITH CODE DESIGN

Enjoy.
