Best Friends by Michael Ging

Gil who’s here on SU as individualathome writes a great blog, it’s remarkable for both the great design which is on a blogger format, so you know Gil has some serious design chops to pull that off, and secondly for the broad range of subjects that he covers.

Here, I’ve found an older piece from the archives about the roadside bomb attacks in Iraq. Recently the news here in the UK has all been about a dysfunctional family with a now found missing child, the impending credit crunch, the Olympic protests and the day t day existence of the soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan has largely been forgotten aside form the daily number given of deaths.

This piece brings home some of the day to day reality of these soldiers who are just doing their job on behalf of a population that doesn’t even want them there, and in large despises them for the risks they take.

Two unnaturally sexy activists (at least that’s how they appear online) are trying to raise awareness of the horrors of Guantnamo Bay by inviting visitors to experience it for themselves–inside the virtual world of Second Life. Is this the future of political discourse, or just another game no one wants to play?

“Victoria’s Secret has been waving sexuality in the faces of Americans for many years without ever once coming clean about Victoria’s actual secret.

Not only is this concealment frustrating from a sheer curiosity perspective (ie. What is her secret?), but it directly contradicts America’s supposed value for corporate responsibility.”
