I used to collect these until one of these "45 funny cats" type sites stole my collection, managed to make it go viral and literally based their whole existence/business model on it.

This seems like a really poorly conceived plan from the beginning, assuming their motives were the ones attributed to them in the Wikipedia article. Of course it won't have the same impact on white people as it would on a minority population with a long history of discrimination. It's the same reason "honkie" doesn't have the same impact as the n-word.

If all they intended to was create awareness of the problem, well, mission accomplished, I guess, but arguably they risk weakening their position if white people don't get upset about it.



What would be a good way to go where they wanted to go? "The Racists" with a non-skinhead, regular white guy mascot? "The Fightin' Hitlers" with a caricature of Ronald Reagan as the mascot? "The Inbreds"?

For those wondering, this is an ad for a play by the Back to Back Theatere, Ganesh vs The Third Reich. For Europeans it's playing in Strasbourg, Paris and Berlin in April, and for North Americans it will be playing in Chicago, Calgary and Montreal in May. I'm hoping to catch it at the MCA in Chicago if I can scrap together the cash for a trip up. Picture links to the website.

Americans who see that photo will think it's a buddy comedy.

Mary's apparition to Juan Diego served to help the conversion of the native Mexicans to Catholicism. The symbolism of the Tilma itself is fascinating. The stars on Mary's tunic align with constellations in the sky that were in the same position as they were during the day of her apparition to Juan Diego. There are also figures visible in the eyes of Mary. Whatever is true and what isn't, its pretty amazing what people have come up with. Not too different from the shroud of Turin or many other religious artifacts.

Do you have a citation on the constellations thing?

This novel is a pretty nice read and I think it features a lot of stuff that D&D regulars might enjoy, such as economics based on the Mondragon system, intersexed protagonists and musings on personhood and nanotechnology. The beginning is a little poorly written and the Big Reveal a bit of a letdown, but the novel's chock full of interesting nods and twists.

I am reading this at the moment :) Also a D&D read:
