Tenure Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 (edited) A satire of an ad agency where everyone speaks what's really on there minds. Ok, I work in Promotions, so I've been to enough of these meetings and around agencies long enough to verify: this stuff is 100% true. Most Ad-Work is just lies compounded upon lies.

TheEgoist Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 Since I think that many Objectivists disagree with me on the issue of art, I don't know how well appreciated this will be... But, this is a compilation video of Islamic nuttery set to Slayer's brilliant song " Jihad " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John McVey Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 An in Val's Art Diary. A fascinating young artist and businesswoman takes the recent shooting down of a spy satellite and segues it into the power of art to demonstrate human progress. You know, it is in moments like this that I stop to think how far we as humans advanced, as far as as technology and all that. I mean, yep, shooting down satellites, what's next, they launch transporting to Mars or something like that? I tried to take a look at her gallery, but unfortunately at present it is down while she does a redesign of her website. Hat tip: commenter 'wm' on this Samizdata post. Yes, definitely a breath of fresh air! JJM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RationalEgoistSG Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 "This is John Galt speaking." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W_qQt9IrUc0...DE8&index=0 I just came upon this series today which dramatizes Galt's speech. It uses an excellent audiobook recording combined with video and wonderful music. Parts 5-11 are particularly well done. I've really enjoyed these!

It uses an excellent audiobook recording combined with video and wonderful music. Parts 5-11 are particularly well done. I've really enjoyed these! I second that. They're also good if you want to introduce people to Objectivism - they give a good grounding of what Objectivism really is. Also, I found that Johnny Carson interview with Ayn Rand: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=eBGIQ7ZuuiU (Couldn't resist posting that). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
