Propaganda Remix Project
Propaganda posters from the "Good War" turn on the White House. Film at eleven.

With a background, or possibly more than one background, in television and videogame writing, comics, animation and several other careers, artist Micah Wright is a busy fellow. His Propaganda Remix Project takes World War II propaganda poster art - and loads of other bits of vintage graphics - and wraps them all in a no-holds-barred satire aimed straight at today's politics and the global antics of the Bush Administration. Republicans, skip this one. You're not likely to appreciate it.
 

The Virtual Absinthe Museum
Ahhh. Decadence.

You simply could not have been a self-respecting Symbolist poet in late nineteenth century Paris if you didn't drink the eerily green, wormwood fortified drink called absinthe. Though prohibitionists claimed you'd eventually pick up a hatchet and slaughter your entire family, this was no real deterrent to the aesthete, and the bitter liquor therefore inspired a generation of Art Nouveau, bizarre poetry, post-Impressionist painting, and can-can girls.
