Shoot Him Now! Shoot Him Now!

Pop artist James Cauty’s work Splatter repurposes classic Warner Bros. and Hanna-Barbera cartoons and gives them a Sin City-style blood spatter makeover, “presenting the viewer with unrelenting acts of bloody, cartoon violence, which, in cartoon law, ultimately cannot cause fatal injury.” Bugs: It’s true, Doc; I’m a rabbit alright. Would you like to shoot me now or wait ’til you get home? Daffy: Shoot him now! Shoot him now! Bugs: You keep outta this! He doesn’t have to shoot you now! Daffy: He does so have to shoot me now! [to Elmer] I demand that you shoot me now! The idea came from the Cauty’s 15-year-old son who suggested his dad show the violence that cartoons leave out. “People have been saying since the ‘60s that cartoons should show the consequences of violence, or kids will get the wrong idea,” Cauty told the Telegraph. “Its very difficult to shock kids these days – you have cartoon characters being shot in the head and walking off cliffs, so we have decided to replace them with something more realistic.” (Source: Popped Culture) Share on Facebook Tweet This Post

AT&T and Apple sued for misleading MMS marketing

Great Ceasar’s ghost! A woman in Ohio is charging the double-As for breach of contract for… mum… not supplying MMS with the 3.0 firmware.

She writes in the lawsuit:

“Millions of customers, as a result of the false and deceptive representations and concealments of Apple and AT&T purchased the 3G and 3GS, waiting for the wonderful day in June 2009 when the new application would be available which would allow MMS,” the court filing states. “Unfortunately, after downloading the new 3.0 Software Update application, MMS still did not work on both the 3G and 3GS.”

While the lawsuit is clearly batshit insane, the plaintiff, Deborah Carr, does have a point: we were supposed to get MMS in late summer and summer, according to WWDC and they’ll release MMS when they damn well feel like it – but it’s nice to see someone holding good old arbitrary Apple to some of its PR claims.
