<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Min tidlegare student Andreas har gjort greie for at han gjerne vil forplante seg. Ikkje fordi han lengtar etter å verte pappa, men fordi han fantaserer om <a href="http://snuren.blogspot.com/2009/10/pavlovs-barn.html" target="_blank">eksperiment</a> som er av slik art at han sjølv konkluderer med at det kanskje er like greitt at han ikkje lagar born:</p>
<blockquote><p>Ja, jeg tenker ikke sånne Dr. Mengele-type eksperimenter, jeg tenker mer på alle de eksperimentene om for eksempel språktilegnelse jeg kunne utført hvis jeg fulgte et lite dyr av arten menneske helt fra starten, og dokumenterte all innputt og utputt. […] Tenk alt jeg kunne gjort me et par eneggede tvillinger!</p></blockquote>
<p>Andreas er ikkje den fyrste som har tenkt i dei baner.</p>
<p><a href="http://jardar.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/unit-logo.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-3086" src="http://jardar.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/unit-logo.jpg" alt="" width="58" height="58" /></a>Då Universitetet i Trondheim vart avliva i 1995 og NTNU vart vedteke oppretta frå det komande årsskiftet, skjedde det på grunnlag av politiske moteord som «spennende», «implementere», «tverrfaglig», «faglig kryssbefruktning», «strategisk», «naturvitenskap», «informasjonsteknologi» osb. Dei få som hadde høyrt om tabuordet «humaniora», nemnde det av og til i forbifarten, og gjerne i den sjukdomsklingande forma «humanoria», slik som i <a href="http://www.regjeringen.no/nb/dep/kd/dok/nouer/1995/nou-1995-28/6.html?id=140436" target="_blank">NOU-en</a> frå det utvalet som sidan vart nedsett for å finne ut av kva Stortinget på ein måte kanskje hadde bestemt, liksom, eller noko sånt.</p>
<p>Nokre år seinare, i 1998, vart det innbode til framlegg om tverrfaglege studieprogram. I satirisk protest mot politisk tullball var me då ein gjeng studentar og stipendiatar (frå både humanistiske, naturvitskaplege og teknologiske fagmiljø) som føreslo eit prosjekt med tilknytt studieprogram som innebar noko av det som Andreas nemner. Tittelen på prosjektet var: «Strategisk kloning i pedagogikklingvistikkens informasjonsteknologiske teneste: eit spanande og tverrfagleg økonomistudium i kryssbefrukta religionselektrisk etikk.»</p>
<p>Eg skal ikkje utdjupe det for mykje, i ettertid ser eg at satiren vår var hakket for grotesk, med sentrale stikkord som kloning og samfunnsøkonomisk fundert handtering av forsøkspersonane etterpå. Prosjektet femnde om ni heller ulike fagområde.</p>
<p>Me argumenterte med at studieprogrammet ville setje universitetet vårt «strategisk på kartet på meir enn éin måte». Me hevda også at prosjektet ville la seg gjennomføre, m.a. fordi budsjettet me skisserte, baserte seg på finansiering i form av gull og grøne skogar. Det sistnemnde ville også trekkje inn botanikarane, slik at det vart endå meir tverrfagleg.</p>
<p>Det viktigaste problemet som vart trekt fram i prosjektskissa, var at politikarane kanskje ville synast det vart vel mykje humaniora når dei etiske spørsmåla skulle drøftast. Me føreslo difor å sløyfe den manuelle moralfilosofen, og heller implementere dette omsynet på meir automatiserte måtar.</p>
<p>Det kom aldri noko svar på søknaden.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify;">Dass <a href="https://www.cia.gov/" target="_blank">CIA</a>, <a href="http://www.mossad.gov.il/Eng/AboutUs.aspx" target="_blank">Mossad</a> und <a href="http://www.mad.bundeswehr.de/portal/a/mad" target="_blank">MAD</a> mithilfe spezieller Geheimflugzeuge <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i2xmVBHcdXs&#38;eurl=http%3A%2F%2Fvideo%2Egoogle%2Ede%2Fvideosearch%3Fhl%3Dde%26source%3Dhp%26q%3Dchemtrails%26um%3D1%26ie%3DUTF%2D8%26ei%3D3J2uSrLuB4SKnQOX2KSpBQ%26sa%3DX%26oi%3Dvideo%5Fresult%5Fgro&#38;feature=player_embedded#t=171" target="_blank">grauenhafte Substanzen am Himmel versprühen</a> ist nichts Neues, das pfeifen längst die Dreckspatzen vom Pentagon. Die Ziele sind klar: die wenigen verbliebenen kritischen Bürger (nämlich die Leser dieses Blogs) sollen verdummt, ihre Lebenszeit verkürzt werden. Doch die Geheimdienste scheinen es gar nicht mehr nötig zu haben, ihr ruchloses Treiben zu tarnen. Bisher sahen die Chemtrails normalen <a href="http://images.google.de/images?hl=de&#38;um=1&#38;ei=556uSsztEYXymQPVutWvBQ&#38;sa=X&#38;oi=spell&#38;resnum=0&#38;ct=result&#38;cd=1&#38;q=kondensstreifen&#38;spell=1&#38;start=0" target="_blank">Kondensmilchstreifen</a> zum Verwechseln ähnlich, doch nunmehr platzieren die satanischen Kräfte ihre unheimlichen Manifestationen ganz unverhohlen am Himmel (siehe Foto oben). Der Weltverschwörungsblog kann Ihnen sagen, um was für groteske Gestalten es sich bei solchen &#8221;Himmelswesen&#8221; in Wirklichkeit handelt:</p>
<div id="attachment_375" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 196px"><img class="size-full wp-image-375" title="Monster" src="http://weltverschwoerungsblog.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/monster.jpg" alt="Teddybären im Dienste des CIA" width="186" height="208" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Teddybären im Dienste des CIA</p></div>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Was ist das Ziel dieser Geheimdienstoperation? Das ganze lässt sich mit etwas logischem Geschick leicht demaskieren. Was kommt nämlich vom Himmel, außer saurem Regen? Richtig: <strong>Blitze mit gewaltiger Zerstörungskraft! </strong>Blitze mit denen man regierungskritische Personen in einen Haufen stinkender Asche verwandeln kann. Stellen Sie sich mal vor, Pätus Bremske hätte unter diesem Baum Schutz gesucht (!!!):</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5306" title="Kuva 5" src="http://viinipiru.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/kuva-5.png" alt="Kuva 5" width="264" height="355" /></p>
<p><a href="http://www.grotesk.fi/"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5307" title="Kuva 6" src="http://viinipiru.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/kuva-6.png" alt="Kuva 6" width="407" height="89" /></a></p>
<p>Maailman kalleimpiin lukeutuva samppanja, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cristal_%28wine%29">Cristal</a>, tunnetaan ennen kaikkea esiintymisistään timanttien säihkeen seurana rapvideoissa. Ensi viikolla asiat saavat kuitenkin uuden tolan, sillä Cristal alkaa virrata vapaasti Ludviginkadun <a href="http://www.grotesk.fi/">Grotesk-barissa</a>. Mikä parasta, kukkaroystävällinen hinnoittelu mahdollistaa juoman nautiskelun myös sellaisille, joiden primääri veroprosentti ei ole kiinteä 28.</p>
<p>Annos himottua kuplajuomaa (8 cl) tulee kustantamaan noin 25 euroa. Se on kohtuullisen sopuisa hinta tuotteesta, jonka markkinahinta pyörii 200 eurossa (jos Grotesk myy koko pullon, eikä hävikkiä ole lainkaan, loppusumma on vaivaiset 234€, mutta käytännössä Grotesk tuskin tekee tuotteella lainkaan voittoa).</p>
<p>Ja kun mainostamislinjalle lähdettiin, mainitaan samaan syssyyn, että samainen baari myy joka tiistai Pol Rogeria kukkaroystävälliseen 5 euron lasihintaan läpi illan. Kyseessä lienee samppanjan polkuhinnoittelun epävirallinen Helsingin ennätys, joten jos mielit samppanjahumalaa, suuntaa Ludviginkadulle.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>About 6 months ago, Kimou Meyer, aka.<strong> GROTESK</strong> was given the opportunity by Nike to create his own Sports team. Over the years <strong>GROTESK</strong> has shown Madd skillz in his ability of creativeness in the arts. This Swiss graphic artist who lives in Brooklyn, has developed a passion for Folk art, street photography, vintage sport graphics old school hip hop and urban anthropology.  That is why Nike gave him the opportunity to drop this new &#8220;Pipe Dream Team&#8221; gear. He was the artist that best fit the qualifications.<a href="http://www.12ozprophet.com/index.php/grotesk/entry/nike_pipe_dream_team/#When:09:45:49Z"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-62" title="grotesk-nike-sportswear-the-pipe-dream-team-4" src="http://maddbananaz.wordpress.com/files/2009/08/grotesk-nike-sportswear-the-pipe-dream-team-4.jpg" alt="grotesk-nike-sportswear-the-pipe-dream-team-4" width="450" height="537" /></a><a href="http://www.12ozprophet.com/index.php/grotesk/entry/nike_pipe_dream_team/#When:09:45:49Z"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-61" title="grotesk-nike-sportswear-the-pipe-dream-team-3" src="http://maddbananaz.wordpress.com/files/2009/08/grotesk-nike-sportswear-the-pipe-dream-team-3.jpg" alt="grotesk-nike-sportswear-the-pipe-dream-team-3" width="450" height="508" /></a></p>
<p>Here is more info taken from Nike’s official press release:<br />
Nike Sportswear and Grotesk present The Pipe Dream Team.</p>
<p>Representing the East, Kimou Meyer, aka <strong>Grotesk,</strong> gives us a team that reflects the everyday hustle of New York City living.Inspired by the uniforms of 1940’s and 1950’s professional basketball and baseball leagues, <strong>Grotesk</strong> also infused the characteristics of old union worker patches, jackets, and pins to create the look of a team that stands for having big dreams and doing whatever it takes to achieve them. <em><strong>“Many of us gravitate to this city carrying with us big dreams and a passion to attain them,” says Grotesk.</strong></em> “A rookie like me has to work twice as hard to prove that I belong. I wanted this team to stand for all of those who fight to make it.” The team motto, Hard Work Overcomes Mistakes, comes from a philosophy of challenge, innovation, and empowerment. “Whenever I finish a project I always look for ways to take it further. For me this slogan embodies a drive that encourages me to try new things pushing me towards that day when I have that perfect shot,” says Grotesk.</p>

Heat pressed to the back with patches and embroidery on the front of the Nike Sportswear Varsity Jacket are various symbols of The Pipe Dream Team’s mission.  Integrated into one dynamic team logo, flying money bags are reminders of how quickly money and dreams can be lost.  Arrows connote the self control and focus needed to reach an objective. Lastly, the mascot itself, the money bag ball player, symbolizes the balance between the love of the game and the everyday hustle. When asked, who would be this team’s rival, Grotesk promptly responds, “The Wall Street Spoon Fed.”<br />
The Pipe Dream Team by Grotesk is available at Nike Sportswear at 21 Mercer and Nike Sportswear locations nationwide in August 2009.<br />

<description><![CDATA[While on her way home from visiting a friend at around midnight, world famous cocktail journalist re]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><a href="http://cocktailreports.wordpress.com/files/2009/08/cocktail2.jpg"><img src="http://cocktailreports.wordpress.com/files/2009/08/cocktail2.jpg?w=225" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />While on her way home from visiting a friend at around midnight, world famous cocktail journalist received a SMS: <span style="font-style:italic;">At </span><a style="font-style:italic;" href="http://www.grotesk.fi/">Grotesk</a><span style="font-style:italic;"> yard with Mss S. Come! Love, Mss M.</span></p>
<p>I immediately recognized duty&#8217;s call and turned my bicycle wheels into a new direction. In the lovely summer yard I found my friends Mss M and Mss S with another friend Mss M. Plus some new friends: Miss X, half Finnish, half Saudi-Arabian, a DOLL whom you gotta love (she said my <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/pauliina/3633520374/in/set-72157594505007479/">selfmade little leather cuff</a> could be Chanel), her work mate Mr X from Norway, and his mate Mr X from Ireland, the latter of whom happened to know Mss M already (don&#8217;t want to know the details&#8230;.and I&#8217;m lying&#8230; and I don&#8217;t even know if there are any &#8216;details&#8217;, [oh, were there any Details last night? oh yes, you bet, such a Detailed night... and how were his Details? I'm into Details; Etc.]), and, in another table, more friends, the pretty and lushy blond Mss T, and another tall good looking blond Mss A -and all of these people wild and single, I assume. (Except for Mss S, who is seriously dating Mr V.)</p>
<p>At the bar the cocktail reporting possibility of Grotesk was visibly laid down on the bartenders&#8217; worktop in the form of fresh watermelon, mint, strawberries. As well as in the beautifully salt rimmed and icylemonysharp looking <span style="font-style:italic;">margarita</span> sailing past my eyes in someones hand. At the moment, though, my code broke a bit, so I approached the bartender (another blonde Mr) as follows:</p>
<p>&#8220;Hi, I&#8217;m a world famous cocktail journalist. And I would like to order that drink with the salt trim, hmmm&#8230; <span style="font-style:italic;">Daiquiri?</span>&#8220;</p>
<p>&#8220;No, that&#8217;s a <span style="font-style:italic;">Margarita.&#8221;</p>
<p></span>Luckily, my friend Mss T, the lushy one with breasts and all, appeared at the bar and begun her witty sexy flirt with the bar workers. That left me some time to create a new approach. Fandom.</p>
<p>&#8220;I love cocktails but good ones are rare. How does one become a pro cocktail bartender like you?&#8221;<span style="font-style:italic;"> <span style="font-style:italic;"><span style="font-style:italic;"><span style="font-style:italic;"></span></span></span></span>Saved. I hope there weren&#8217;t people waiting in line for their drinks, as I spent some good five minutes at the bar. Learning the following:</p>
<p>The bartenders name was <span style="font-style:italic;">Victor Über</span>, or that&#8217;s what I first heard, until he corrected by pressing it&#8217;s <span style="font-style:italic;">Nyberg</span>, not <span style="font-style:italic;">Über</span>. According to him and later on verified by googling by the WF investigative J, he is known in <a href="http://www.fbsk.net/">the bar circles in Finland</a>, competed in the art of making cocktails, led various bars, often with his cute mate at Grotesk, whose name I forgot (either the face or name, isn&#8217;t it? or, of course, the bod, and you know, sometimes something they say). And I learned, not only the difference between <span style="font-style:italic;">daiquiri </span>and <span style="font-style:italic;">margarita</span> but also this factum/opinion:</p>
<p>* Anyone can work in a bar. But to manage a bar, or to make cocktails in a quality joint, you need a 4 year education (which Victor himself, naturally, had acquire, plus some additional 4 years specializing)</p>
<p>* Bartending schools in Finland produce world&#8217;s top bartenders<span style="font-style:italic;"><span style="font-style:italic;"><span style="font-style:italic;"><span style="font-style:italic;"></span></span></span></p>
<p>* </span>In London, almost as nice a cocktail city as Hel Sin Ki ,you start from the bottom pooring beer, then you climb to the GT-mixing level, and, if you&#8217;re good, only then you can dream of mixing a real cocktail (which doesn&#8217;t stop me from planning to open a health drink herbal massage cocktail bar, serving also various chocolates, with the target group guess which sex?)</p>
<p>* Bad cocktails are typically too watery. Which is caused when the ice cubes used to cool the glasses are left to melt, and the resulting water is not carefully removed before pooring in the drink</p>
<p>* Cocktail quality is mostly up to the quality of the ingredients</p>
<p>* In Helsinki, only 6 bars can afford or care to use fresh produce. The list in random order:<br />1. <a href="http://www.grotesk.fi/">Grotesk</a><br />2. <a href="http://www.shaker.fi/main.php">Shaker</a><br />3. <a href="http://www.slingin.fi/">Sling In</a><br />4. <a href="http://www.a21.fi/">A21</a><br />6. <a href="http://www.omalleys.fi/americanbar.html">American Bar</a></p>
<p>* Soon, in <a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.helsinginjuhlaviikot.fi/en/taiteiden-yo">The Night of The Arts</a> in Helsinki, there&#8217;s a <a href="http://www.fbsk.net/fi/grand-cocktail-festival">cocktail festival</a> at <a href="http://www.apolloliveclub.fi/helsinki/">Apollo Live Club</a>. Minuses: crowdy and the place is &#8220;Sedula&#8221; which is Finnish for tacky. Pluses: superb cocktails come cheap.</p>
<p>* And, in early 2000 <span style="font-style:italic;">Mr Victor Über</span> himself (sorry, can&#8217;t resist) had run a bar specializing in herbs (not talking about The Herb here), more than 20 of them, in Helsinki. And I said to him: &#8220;You were too early. Start again now. Take it from the World Famous Cocktail Journalist.&#8221;</p>
<p>Back at the table, Mss M1 was anxiously waiting for her <span style="font-style:italic;">vodka cranberry</span> which I promised to deliver and did, eventually. Us ladies took a round of compliments from each other (Mss M1&#8217;s new soft ocra hair makes her look even more beautiful, my ear rings were gorgeous, etc. etc.). The two guys were keeping quiet, either shy, thinking we and women in general are stupid, or both, I assume. To make it worse, I decided to reveal the company my real purposes.</p>
<p>I told about my profession (WFCJ), and tried to interview Mr X from Ireland about his Mojito. Is it a good one? Him and Mss M2 were not getting it. &#8220;It&#8217;s a Mojito, it tastes like a Mojito&#8221;, they said. I was offering a glue by telling how I had often had very dissapointing <span style="font-style:italic;">Margarita&#8217;s. </span>&#8220;How can you fail making a <span style="font-style:italic;">Margarita</span>?&#8221; Mr X from I asked. I&#8217;m telling you, it&#8217;s people like this who keep the status of cocktail artists low.</p>
<p>&#8220;Well, for example, <span style="font-style:italic;">Margarita</span> could be too stiff, too sweet, too soury, or too&#8230; watery?&#8221; As they didn&#8217;t nod or give any feedback I looked for another word and immediately realized a joke. &#8220;Too wet?&#8221; Okay, now the guys really thought I was stupid. &#8220;Hey, my drink is too wet!&#8221; I yelled. As I said watery again, Mr X from I helped me out with my English: &#8220;Watery, yes, but not wet.&#8221;</p>
<p>Which leads me to the theme of the rest of the night, shared by myself, Mss M1 and Mss S: Men. Before that, the drink test.</p>
<p><span style="font-style:italic;">Margarita</span> in Grotesk, Helsinki, was empeccable.</p>
<p>The 2, or 3, companies parted, and the three girlfriends were sharing gossip at <a href="http://beatroot.fi/">Beetroot</a>, drinking <span style="font-style:italic;">vodka cranberry</span>.</p>
<p>&#8220;Is it possible that it was that bright red hair that kept the guys alert and away for the past 12 years???!!!&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Is it possible that it is only this blonde hair that makes them so interested now?!&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;When a man cuddles and kisses a woman all night when they&#8217;re out at bars, and then, when together in the taxi heading towards intimacy, all the sudden ask the driver to stop and escapes, and when this happens repeatedly for months on, does it mean that the man is gay?&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;This guy I&#8217;ve been sleeping with lately, although it&#8217;s not something that is leading anywhere (this is what they all say when something really good is beginning, not just recognising it yet), is in the top on the sex list. Maybe even the top 1.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Going three hours on end.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;We envy you!&#8221; (having boyfriends, a big mistake if looking from this &#8216;detailed&#8217; angle)</p>
<p>&#8220;This guy is really nice but there&#8217;s a lot of problematic stuff going on in his head.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;There&#8217;s a lot of THAT around.&#8221;</p>
<p>Details. Details. Details.</p>

Dabei geht es um Mädchen, die immer wieder durch Drogenmissbrauch oder anderer kriminelle Tätigkeiten auffallen. Diese werden in ein Ferienhaus (!) In Mecklemburg-Vorpommern gesteckt und dort umerzogen (zumindest theoretisch). Und wer macht den Erzieher? Sido. Als der Typ, der vor allem durch den Arschficksong Bekanntheit erlangte.

<p>Det er ganske kjent at man i lang tid har benyttet seg av manipulerte fotografier for å selge produkter.<br />
Det være seg alt fra slanking av modeller, fjerning av rynker, og å generere landskap ol. som ikke er virkelige.</p>
<p>Men&#8230;. Så kom over en siden med noen fantastiske og bizarre fotomanipulasjoner, laget som reklame for diverse produkter.</p>
<p>Noen av produktene er det neimen ikke lett å forstå hva de egentlig reklamerer for, mens noen er helt åpenbare og geniale.<br />
At de er bizarre og groteske er det i alle fall liten tvil om.</p>
<p><!--more--></p>
<p>Noen av de beste presenterer jeg her!</p>

<p>Hva synes du om dem?<br />
Er reklamen for grotesk?<br />
Eller er det greit å provosere for å oppnå et salg?</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Kom til time. Rundt et bord satt mine fellow filosofistudenter og regnet mattestykker. Jeg fikk dele bok med læreren, selv om vi var på forskjellige steder, og måtte bla frem og tilbake. Etter en stund kommer jeg frem til oppgaver som handler om en trend kalt &#8220;skinnergirls&#8221;, som var jenter som danset nøgne rundt og lot som ingenting mens de brant. Jeg så for meg filmklipp i svart-hvitt, typisk tidlig nittenhundretall. De danset rundt i sine viktorianske hager til deler av kroppen var helt forkullet. Veldig groteskt.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Ein sehr beliebter Kritikpunkt an Sachen, die sich &#8220;Teenager&#8221; &#8220;reinziehen&#8221; lautet, dass es sich dabei um Schund handele. Sachen von niedriger Qualität, ohne Tiefgang oder sonstwas. Und dass die ganzen Themen solcher Filme und Serien ohnehin unnötig sind und man das auch in alltäglichen Umgebungen hätte platzieren können, dass nur die Jungen Leute nicht mehr wissen was gut ist und deshalb Explosionen, Fantasymist und Innereien brauchen.</p>
<p>Find ich irgendwie nicht.<!--more--></p>
<div class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 394px"><img src="http://www.marith.demon.co.uk/graphics/startrek/picard.gif" alt="Nicht *der* erhobene Zeigefinger." width="384" height="256" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Nicht *der* erhobene Zeigefinger.</p></div>
<p>Im Rahmen <a href="http://vetaro.wordpress.com/2009/05/09/neues-von-der-kinofront/">des neuen Star Trek-Filmes</a> hab ich mich mal aufgemacht, die ganzen älteren Filme anzusehen. Mir ist dabei erstmal wieder aufgefallen, wie viel moralische Tiefe diese Filme haben. ST besteht ja im Gegensatz zu SW nicht nur aus lasern und explosionen (und Kuss-szenen). Und sehr viele dieser Situationen gewinnen dadurch an Bedeutung, dass sie von Raumschiff-Kapitänen die Jahrhunderte in der Zukunft leben durchlebt werden.</p>
<p>Ich meine nichtmal diese Erhobener-Finger-Sachen wie bei &#8220;Zurück in die Gegenwart&#8221;, wo die Crew nach San Francisco &#8220;unserer Zeit&#8221; zurückkehrt, um Buckelwale zu finden, denn die sind in der Zukunft ausgestorben. Das erinnert schon beinahe an He-Man. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jlQrO7e0nRY">der am Ende jeder Folge zu den Kindern spricht</a> und ihnen von der Wichtigkeit von Ehrgefühl und so &#8216;nem Mist erzählt*. Das ist nämlich total blöd.</p>
<p>Es geht um die Entscheidungen &#8220;das wohl eines oder das vieler&#8221; (ST-Trilogie), oder &#8220;Wie weit soll man für Rache gehen&#8221; (Der erste Kontakt) und andere Sachen, die man auch im Philosophie-Unterricht antreffen könnte**.</p>
<p>In &#8220;Der Aufstand&#8221; streiten sich Picard und ein Vorgesetzter darum, ob man 600 Leute von einem Planeten umsiedeln sollte (was sie töten würde), damit dieser von der Allianz ausgebeutet werden kann. Zitat: &#8220;<em>Jean-Luc. Wir wollen gerade mal 600 Menschen umsiedeln.</em>&#8221; Jean-Luc: &#8220;Wie viele Menschen sind nötig, Admiral, bevor aus Recht Unrecht wird?&#8221; Ist das Deep? Ja, das ist deep.</p>
<div class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 410px"><img src="http://blogs.guardian.co.uk/technology/South_Park_mayhem-x.jpg" alt="Das Youtube-Massaker" width="400" height="300" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Das Youtube-Massaker</p></div>
<p>South Park. South Park ist ja wohl ohne Frage eine wirklich &#8220;sicke&#8221; Serie. Meiner Meinung nach ist sie <em>das </em>Beispiel für Groteskes. Wenn die Deutschlehrerrin mal wieder sagt &#8220;Wisst ihr, was Grotesk ist?&#8221; dann kann man sagen: Ja, South Park. (Die wollen natürlich eigentlich hören &#8220;Ja, &#8216;Der Besuch der alten Dame&#8217; von Dürrenmatt&#8221;, aber wer will das schon sagen.)</p>
<p>Aber South Park geht <em>sehr oft </em>auf aktuelle Probleme ein und kommentiert sie &#8211; nur dass niemand der Betroffenen das merkt, weil es sich um eine &#8220;Kinderserie&#8221; handelt (um die Sorte, die die Betroffenen ihren Kindern verbieten, mit dem Vorwandt, dass es sich nicht um eine Kinderserie handele).</p>
<p>In 11.1 geht es um <a href="http://www.southparkstudios.com/episodes/102800">das verbieten von Worten</a>. In dieser Folge wird derjenige, der &#8220;Nigger&#8221; sagt, verfolgt, und zwar von denjenigen, eigentlich was gegen schwarze haben. Das gesamte Verhältnis wird umgedreht, und letztendlich wird das Schimpfwort für Leute, die &#8220;Nigger&#8221; sagen, &#8220;<em>Nigger-Guy</em>&#8220;, verboten.</p>
<div class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 560px"><img src="http://loot-ninja.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/09/south_park_warcraft.jpg" alt="Die folgen von WoW" width="550" height="425" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Die Folgen von WoW-Konsum</p></div>
<p>In den Folgen 10.12 und 10.13, &#8220;<a href="http://www.southparkstudios.com/episodes/103800/">Go God Go</a>&#8220;, landet Cartman in der Zukunft. Einer Zukunft, in der Richard Dawkins, der Papst der Atheisten, gesiegt hat, und es nur noch Atheisten gibt. Entgegen Dawkins Behauptung, dass dann die größte Quelle von Kriegen und Unrecht zerstört seie, bekriegen sich die Atheisten aber nur noch mehr, und zwar über absolute Trivialitäten.<br />
Die Lehre, die man daraus ziehen kann (Achtung, Zeigefinger), die aber in der Folge nicht ausgesprochen wird, ist, dass Leute sich nicht bekriegen weil sie Religiös sind, sondern weil sie nicht weit genug denken und entwickelt sind um zu kapieren dass man sowas nicht macht. Dass man, wenn man Religion entfernt, das Problem immernoch existiert.</p>
<p>Bei 9.10 wird um <a href="http://www.southparkstudios.com/layout/skin_v3/img/episodes/episodehover.png">die Frage von Gay Marriage</a> gestritten. Wie in der Realität wird am Ende vorgeschlagen, dass homosexuelle auch heiraten dürfen, das aber anders nennen. Es wird &#8220;Butt-Budies&#8221; genannt.</p>
<p>In Folge 9.4 geht es darum, <a href="http://www.southparkstudios.com/layout/skin_v3/img/episodes/episodehover.png">wer entscheiden darf</a>, ob jemand aktive Sterbehilfe erhält. Hierbei geht jedoch die findbare Antwort in der ganzen Groteskerie unter.</p>
<p>Überhaupt geht der ganze moralische Mehrwert von Southpark in dem wilden Chaos das dabei immerzu erzeugt wird andauernd unter. Ich habe noch nie jemanden ausser mir gehört, dem das überhaupt aufgefallen ist. Die Leute johlen einfach zu sehr, wenn Kennys Gedärme herumfliegen oder jemandem ein Hamster in den Hintern kriecht. Eigentlich schade.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="line-height:15px;font:12px Verdana;margin:0 0 10px;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-628" title="plus41-grotesk-nike-af1-bespoke-1" src="http://aproperganda.wordpress.com/files/2009/05/plus41-grotesk-nike-af1-bespoke-1.jpg" alt="plus41-grotesk-nike-af1-bespoke-1" width="540" height="400" /></p>
<p style="line-height:15px;font:12px Verdana;margin:0 0 10px;">
<span style="font-family:Arial;">Swiss artists/designers Grotesk and +41 got up with Nike and produced these sick Air Force 1s to commemorate the upcoming Sneakerness event in Zurich.  Inspired by the Air Jordan 3 and the ultra-rare Air Jordan Sky High, this pair features a cement grey elephant print rear quarter/heel alongside an otherwise white leather upper. All of this tops an icey outsole. I&#8217;m a huge Air Force One fan so I can only appreciate when I see/ nice sneakers like those and I really like those ones&#8230;</span></p>
<p style="line-height:15px;font:12px Arial;margin:0 0 10px;">The May 9th event at Schiffbau (Zurich) will feature sellers and traders, of course, plus exhibitions, art installations, a NIKEiD studio and afterparty with DJ Clark Kent and Cool Bob Love himself, Bobbito Garcia.  If you’re in Western Europe, do yourself a favour and stop by tomorrow.
