3 years after the introduction of Joe Camel, the cartoon figure to promote the cigarettes brand and targeting teens, "more children could recognize Joe Camel than could identify Mickey Mouse or Fred Flintstone."
Parody cartoon: "JOE CAMEL – THE LATER YEARS" shows Joe Camel in a wheelchair, coughing up slime and breathing from an O2 bottle. He looks really awful.  Credits: Signe Wilkinson for The Philadelphia Daily News on February 28, 1994

Privatizing airports is a terrible deal for travellers, workers, and the public purse. Around the world, it has led to higher travel costs, fewer jobs and worse working conditions.

The “We Should Improve Society Somewhat” meme. An unhappy man holding a bundle of sticks is saying, “WE SHOULD DISMANTLE THE PANOPTICON.” A grinning man emerging from a well responds, “YET YOU PARTICIPATE IN THE PANOPTICON. CURIOUS! I AM VERY INTELLIGENT.”

The thing that gets me the most in this bill to circumvent renters' security and rent controls is the whinging excuse of mom-and-pop landlords trying to pay the mortgage. They took the risk on that property. They are not owed the ability to always make a profit.

If cabinet is hoping the guy who wrote the fascist playbook will give advice on stopping fascism then we are in trouble. Adorno reminds us that clever people were the first to be suckered by the fascist playbook because they thought they could outsmart it. There is nothing hidden in their plan.
