Bruce Wayne just wants to pay his fair share for the good of the people.Image courtesy Anjin Anhut The Occupy Wall Street movement has come to comics. One of the first salvos is from Berlin-based artist Anjin Anhut, whose Occupy Gotham (above) illustrates Batman’s sympathy for people sick of being sold out to jet-setting market sharks.
‘What would Batman do?’ It’s a worthy question to ask the comics industry and fandom alike, especially as DC Comics’ underwhelming reboot campaign, dubbed “The New 52,” has returned Batman to familiar territory fighting gangsters and monsters from his past. While Scott Snyder’s serviceable new iteration of Batman throws in a few scenes of Bruce Wayne promising to battle rapacious capitalism, they come during tony dinner parties for the rich that take place far from the mean streets where the little people live and die. “It’s a great conversation to be having,” he said.

Also, the Fawkes masks are cliché and passé at the same time. Cliché being the bigger offense. After V for Vendetta there's never been a "right" time for those masks, and nor will there ever be, again. Yeah, it just kills me that there are alleged "anti-capitalists" who get their primary stylistic and ideological motivation from a market-tested Hollywood action blockbuster that was signed off on by some studio head specifically because it was likely to be a successful—which is to say, ultimately harmless—simulation of subversive expression.
For me, it's not even that it's cliché. I remember when I first saw Anonymous using the V mask as their symbol, it immediately struck me as embarrassing. It taints the whole message, because you realize that, underneath it all, you're hearing from a bunch of dudes who really aren't that intelligent about ideology. The commercial.

Het Jon Stewart-effect: Amerikaanse hofnar bepaalt het politieke debat - Nieuws. Door: Anna van den Breemer − 07/10/12, 14:09 The Daily Show van Jon Stewart - goed voor 2,3 miljoen kijkers per avond - is meer dan alleen humor. 'Als een moderne Don Quixote trekt Stewart ten strijde tegen de hypocrisie van Washington en de media', zegt mediaprofessor Brian Dunphy in zijn lezing over de tv-show. 'Vroeger had je de hofnar die met zijn belletjesmuts op, de koning openlijk belachelijk maakte.
Nu heb je presentator Jon Stewart achter zijn talkshowtafel die de spot drijft met de machthebbers. Columnist of journalist? In de reeks fragmenten die Dunphy toont, timmert Stewart uit frustratie op tafel, jammert of slaat zijn handen voor zijn ogen uit wanhoop. InvloedJon Stewarts invloed is groot. Dunphy toont een paar voorbeelden. In een ander fragment gaat the Best F#@king News Team Ever langs bij Republikeinse delegaties. Brian Dunphy ziet het anders. The Daily Show and American Politics. Rare jongens die Amerikanen. Ze laten zich in hun stemgedrag niet leiden door een serieuze analyticus of journalist, maar door Jon Stewart, comedian en anchorman van The Daily Show. Elk dag geeft Stewart in zijn satirische praatprogramma zijn hilarische blik op de politiek en de komende verkiezingen. Kijkers van The Daily Show hebben meer kennis van politiek dan kijkers van serieuze nieuwsprogramma's. Nemen satirische programma's de rol van de reguliere nieuwsshows over?
En hoeveel invloed heeft The Daily Show op de Amerikaanse verkiezingen? De Amerikaanse mediadeskundige Brian Dunphy gaat met behulp van fragmenten uit The Daily Show in op deze vragen.

Nikolaj Coster-Waldau is the stud you love to hate—at least onscreen.
As Jaime Lannister, the rakish, incestuous “Kingslayer” on Game of Thrones, he’s an object of attraction (devilishly handsome) and derision (he loves his sister). On Sunday night’s episode, the pendulum swung towards the latter when he sexually assaulted his sister, Cersei, beside the altar of their dead love child, Joffrey. He’s not much better in The Other Woman. In Nick Cassavetes’s comedy, the Danish actor plays Alex King, a suave, Maserati-driving, bespoke suit-wearing angel investor who cheats on his adoring wife, Kate (Leslie Mann), with two other beauties—a career-minded lawyer, Carly (Cameron Diaz), and a young hottie, Amber (Kate Upton).
In an interview with The Daily Beast, Coster-Waldau discussed his comedy chops, Jaime Lannister’s dark turn, and much more. Note: Portions of this interview were included in a separate piece on THAT scene. Is that the craziest thing you’ve ever done in a film or TV show? Yeah.

Robert Maresca, Long Island Man, Wants To Trademark 'Occupy Wall Street' NEW YORK (Associated Press)- A Long Island, N.Y., man wants to trademark the Occupy Wall Street movement's name. Robert Maresca of West Islip tells Newsday ( ) he wants to put Occupy Wall Street on T-shirts, handbags and glasses. He filed to trademark the name on Oct. 18. The filing was first reported by The Smoking Gun website. Occupy Wall Street representatives Michael Fix and Beth Bogart say they're not surprised by attempts to make money off the protest, even though it's about economic injustice. But Maresca says he only wants to spread the word, not capitalize on the movement. Maresca says he became interested in Occupy Wall Street after union members began showing up at the protesters' encampment in Zuccotti Park. If you've been to an Occupy Wall Street event anywhere in the country, we'd like to hear from you.

This is what happens when corporations or banks brainwash their ignorant employees to disassociate from reality. The people who work directly with the homeowners are usually not too much better off themselves. I worked at a mortgage arm of a bank. The women who dealt with defaults were shrill, obnoxious and borderline abusive with the clients. They would shriek at them for "not paying the mortgage first" and would give them bullshit "advice" about how to come up with more money to pay the bank. More often than not, the situation was dire before they even spoke to these people. Meanwhile, the banks OWN THE HOUSES!!! It's as though they WANT to shoot themselves in the foot, the banks, that is. I remember challenging the department, saying, surely a foreclosure is a benefit to the bank?
I still think it's stacked against the mortgage holder. The contract is simple: a person or persons agree to pay a certain amount each month, and if they can't, the bank takes back the house. Josh Stearns: The perfect gift for every... Gallery. Quartz person of the year 2012. Corporations are the people of the year, my friend. Who’s the most important newsmaker of the year? Time magazine says Barack Obama. We disagree. It’s the American corporation. Ever since Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney reminded us of the legal fiction of corporate personhood during the past summer’s presidential campaign—“corporations are people, my friend!” And it turns out corporations have had quite the resurgence in the past year: What you’re seeing is after-tax corporate profits as a percentage of the US economy, and the the last decade has just been swell for them; record-setting, in fact, despite the crisis. Our case further solidifies with a look at how poorly unincorporated persons have fared in recent years: A measure of labor’s share of US national income.
That chart comes from this research at the St. And it’s not just that corporations are competing with real people in the economic environment. Then there’s the criminal activity.
