Andreas Avester is having to deal with someone stealing his art and using it as a commercial logo. [http://blamscoon.e-monsite.com/] What’s sad is that they could have commissioned a logo from Andreas, like I did, and gotten a superb piece of art that they could use without headaches.

I’ve worked for too many corporatist shitbags to have any instinct but “RUN!” when I hear the sound of corpocrat. That’s why mayor Pete made my flesh crawl – he deployed the same technique, which deflects responsibility, takes credit, and obscures the speaker’s agenda. It makes them (they think) sound smart, which means they think you’re a dumb sucker who’s going to fall for substanceless style.
In case you didn’t realize it, the stock market is a scam. One of the worst and scammiest things about it is that it’s been arranged so that your money becomes worth less, if you don’t invest in it: so you gotta play, and the game is rigged.
