Slog - Comments on The Man http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/04/the_man_1 Peep this. The UK Office of Government Commerce, which is all about the money, hired a fancy London branding agency to make them look like a million bucks. And what did the agency come up with?

Hysterical!!

But what this truly reveals is that Charles uses an extreme tilt to the right to view the world.
A/k/a tres petit bourgeios, mec.

It's brilliant, whether intentional or not.

This is the best slog post of the year-- thanks Charles!

Mudede is obviously seeing the great British actor Alec Guinness, in his greatest role as none other than Obi Wan Kenobi, wielding his light saber, just before getting popped by Darth Vader. It's obviously an analogy for the self-destructive nature of capitalism.

Alec Guinness = Obi Wan Kenobi = Karl Marx
David Prowse = Darth Vader = Milton Friedman
Carrie Fisher = Princess Leia = Noami Klein

Prurient fucktards: You lose!
