Morning Yellow | 12.02


It's December now. What's it take to get some snow around here? I dunno, but here's what it takes to get some yellow:

- Want to tear down a to-be-landmarked building? The NY Times offered these helpful hints over the weekend, reporting on legacy-challenged developers exploiting a Buildings Department loophole to "irreparably change" structures before they can be saved. Because where there's a will, there's a way to remove decorative cornices.

- Still think the GOP could do a better job of running this broke-ass popsicle stand we call America? So does Jeb Bush, who went so far in an interview with Newsmax.com as to suggest Republicans should set up a "shadow government". Riiiight...

- Seen McDonald's new ad campaign? It's the one featuring Dollar Menu darlings Chicken McNuggets and the diners who love them: NUGGNUTS! Yes, that's right, if you like Chicken McNuggets, you are now NUGGNUTS. Which at first I found really, really disturbing, but now I'm wondering if it's really any creepier than these guys:



- Does anyone actually read Wired anymore? If so, perhaps you've already perused this most excellent article by Joshua Davis. If not, you should do so forthwith. As it turns out, a young fellow named Dan Kaminsky figured out a way to literally break the internet. Yes, as in, The Internet, E-mail, www, and .com, et. al. I'm not sure who gets the card on this one, but I'm pretty sure somebody should.
