  1. they smell money. Dick and Jane illustrations are like being made into greeting cards and shirts now. Clearly an instructive children’s book is completely in contradiction with the original artist’s vision.

    Germans have decided to create a Truman Show-like Perpetual Surveillance Village in which people will live for decades on a reality show.
