January 6, 2011 by Amy Jussel 19 Comments

Jan 6, 2011 “You have to separate the art from the artist.” How many times have you heard that turn of phrase relating to everything from hotel smashing rockers and hiphop thuggery to mind-bending visual assaults on the senses from advertising and pop culture?

Dec. 17, 2010 Media madness has hit some new toxic tipping points lately, from sexualized cues for tweens to slink around like a ho-ho-ho (great awareness-raising via this new PTC study) to teen pot use rising after years of decline, and of course the influence of Miley's latest messes surging sales of ‘salvia’ ...

December 1, 2010 by Amy Jussel 4 Comments

Dec 1, 2010 World Aids Day The "keep a child alive" logo had me at hello. The premise "I've sacrificed my digital life to help give real life to millions of people affected by HIV/AIDS in Africa and India" rings a little hollow, even for Hollywood. Granted, the idea is clever, creative (and a lil' bit creepy) capitalizing on the celebrity zeitgeist (in coffins, with … [Read more...]

November 16, 2010 by Amy Jussel 4 Comments

Nov. 16, 2010 When I lobbed the “what do you read just for fun” query at some middle and high school kids recently, reactions ran the gamut from quizzical, “what do you mean by “for fun” to disturbing, “I don’t have TIME to read for fun" or "I have too much school work”…and yet their nose-in-the-text-screen antics tells another story by sheer observation. Kids are CONSTANTLY … [Read more...]
