Poster

The athletics department of the school I work at makes posters every year with the schedules of various competitions on them, featuring photographs of current student athletes, and I have to say that I especially love the ones that feature women, because they always emphasize power, strength, and determination, just like the men's sports posters do, and don't sexualize them.

For instance, look at this one, which I snapped with my phone on the wall of a local restaurant:( cut for pic )

Dinner theatre redux

So I've talked to you before about dinner movie theatres. We went to see Pirates 4 in one of them last week, but this isn't about that. What it's about is the Alamo Drafthouse, a chain of them in Austin, Houston, and San Antonio. They have a strict no talking, no texting, no nuthin' policy in place - you get two warnings and then you get thrown out.

Recently they threw out a woman who was texting, who then later phoned up the theatre and complained on the voicemail. They turned her voicemail into the new "Don't Talk or Text" PSA shown before R-rated movies, which you an see here on Youtube. Rated R for language. :)
