Anonymous Relief Through Mail Art?
PostSecret is a blog that receives anonymous postcards with peoples' secrets via the mail, then scans and uploads them for others to see. The premise is interesting enough. I'm just waiting for these folks to get mixed up in a mass-murderer investigation once his confessions inevitably show up on their site.

How well do you know your brand ABCs?
Joey Katzen describes the Retail Alphabet Game as "one part puzzle, one part self assessment, and a pinch of postmodern art." And with endorsements from Schoolastic.com and Surfing the Net with Kids, which reviews web sites for "parents, kids, teens, grandparents, K-12 teachers, librarians and the incurably curious," I think "one part scary" is missing from that description. Nevertheless, it's one hell of a Brand ID brain teaser.

Logo Parody Exhibit Shut Down by L.A.P.D.?!?
I was sorry/shocked to learn of the logo parody exhibit Mark of the Beast held at the Transport Gallery in L.A. being shut down by the L.A.P.D. for its alleged "offensive and aggressive" content. I'm currently busy at work on the TARGETED exhibit intro essay and will certainly include this frightening example of what seems to be a trend where brand owners are turning to the courts and law enforcement to prorect their precious identities.

La Santa Muerte, aka: Saint Death
As if I didn't love Mexican religious icons enough... the fledgling startup religion whose patron saint has the government there up in arms seems to be growing in popularity and their tchochkies are now available via internet web sites. I'd love to get my hands on one of these statues.
