This is a matter of gastronomy and not politics: The last time I had a MacDonalds hamburger I wondered why I had eaten it and I wondered what it was? It was supposed to have been a hamburger. The last (and only) time I ate a Dunkin Donuts donut I knew more or less what it was------a knotted chunk of old tractor tire or a wart off an elephant's ass mixed with syrup and fried in sump oil.

I say you should all get your coffee and fat fix at the Silver Moon Creperie in Dover. Strong, kick ass coffee (Vienna roast) is only a buck (and that includes tax!). A local, family owned place that is not politically motivated and gives back to the community when economically feasible. (Plus we have a Banana Bob.)

fantastic! i love christopher davison! are you a fan of egon shiele? in a roundabout way christopher davison reminds me of schiele, with his angles and line usage.. intense and a bit uncomfortable. fabulous!

"here, here!" to the mojito in a beautiful birch vessel! I'm a fan of the mojito in just about any vessel, but those are gorgeous! nice find!

hmmmm... very interesting indeed Andy! Nice commentary! I must say, yes, I agree entirely with your points. Heh, and...with some satisfaction, the DD that recently opened in Newmarket is failing miserably... with any luck, they may go away quietly.

OK "Anonymous", put the 40oz & the blunt down, lower the volume on the gangster rap & read the above again. Did you even read it or just not comprehend it?
Ignorance is not considered "hype", yo.

Dunks is a local company... Don't dis it because it is good. I value local business and all, but feel that Dunks did its thing and is successful because its damn good. Stop hating on everything Andy.

2009-08-18T08:21:04.321-04:00

Dunkin' Donuts is also owned by The Carlyle Group, a political investment group based in Washington, D.C. (Current and Former board members include George H.W. Bush, George W. Bush, Former President Ronald Reagan's Sec. of Defense Frank Carlucci, Former Secretary of State James Baker, Former British Prime Minister John Major) You can see why they lean Republican and advertise in the way that they do based on who's in charge - they're a conservative group that is rather controversial, depending on who you ask, due to the relationship with certain middle east families.

Beautiful, functional, artsy, I'd drink just about anything outta these...but on a teaching salary I am guessing that we would have to rent one!

2009-07-24T11:18:37.614-04:00

That's a good point, but what if the designs bring in more money for the organization and those they're helping? Technically, HeyStudio put the time in and Oxfam does have to have some sort of branding don't they? Also the single color typography/graphics save money on printing.

it's totally bunk that an organization devoted to helping people would waste its time and resources on a branding campaign.

Oy vey! My basement is full of vinyl from the 60's-80's! I would LOVE an arm that is this simple and sweet to use!

Its kind of a shame that they would give so much credit to him when they did, as Transworld just gave Hosoi Legend of the year... Just another case of a big company not doing their research before jumping into something they're not so sharp on.

2009-06-15T20:32:52.819-04:00

Good point Matt. Almost to a fault, I always have to provide support for my opinions and I remembered seeing that video on another blog.. unfortunately for us all.

2009-06-15T17:48:28.479-04:00

I think that the weirdest thing about all of that is that you actually searched to find that ridiculous Mike V crap.................on a better note first real complete was probably 87' it was a hawk board with tracker truckers and slimeballs that were massive. you bet it had a killer grip job!

2009-06-15T11:18:47.120-04:00

Those were the days for sure. Wish I had kept ANYTHING from the early-mid nineties. Those old Toy Machine decks and videos (and New Deal, Blind and Plan B) will be our generations's equivelant of the Powell Peralta, SC and Alva boards.. except that I'm old enough that I had a Hawk board in 87'. If you got it signed at the demo in Portsmouth, I think that was 1995? That's a keeper for sure.

2009-06-15T09:29:55.710-04:00

I've still got my old Ed deck. I know that it was signed by Jamie Thomas, but I can't remember if it was Ed or some other dude that also signed it. Have to venture back to Ruth's and find out.

Thanks for posting this! I really liked The Omnivore's Dilemma and this issue is always top of mind. I'm sure Food Inc. will end up next to Supersize me on my DVD shelf.

Twenty years, wow. I remember watching it on the news - and not understanding any of it. Thanks for posting Andy.

As always, great article.
I saw that film when it came out, but should probably rent it again.
