Post Titled: Rape of the arts, la-dee-da

In another spectacular display of trickle-down aesthetics- Takashi Murakami, Yoshimoto Nara, Tim Burton, Adult Swim, Wallace and Gromit, CocoRosie and the Triplets of Belleville have been raped (or hired?) by ZUNE, the Microsoft rival to iTunes. Actually, these videos are some of the coolest advertising I have ever seen. I am not promoting this, merely commenting. grrr .

Zune included a Lily Allen song, also reported in the BBC this morning:
(P.S. Triple Nipple Update (of sorts))
aka-
More Nazi Bullshit from the NSA NTS or whatever they are called:

"Pop star Lily Allen has had her US work visa cancelled after arriving at Los Angeles airport."
AND
is the Deutsche Bahn gonna die soon? - a question I have mulled for years...
