Jenna Fox does one HELL of a Fishstick.
You do know The Fishstick, right? It’s “the brand new dance craze sweeping the nation,” says Boing Boing’s Xeni Jardin.
“Pretty much everyone has a short attention span. And of course, you saw ‘Being John Malkovich’. Well you know, when he goes into his agent and he says, ‘I want to be a puppeteer now.’ And the agent says, ‘Okay. Let’s see how we can work that out.’
So if you have achieved any level of success, it’s easier for you to say, ‘I want to do a complete switch; I want to be a totally different person.’ And you know, people are going to be more accomodating. So I hope to reach that level of success where I could become a puppeteer.

“Fairey rummages around on his desk and produces a letter from Obama himself. “Dear Shepard,” the candidate writes. “I would like to thank you for using your talent in support of my campaign. The political messages involved in your work have encouraged Americans to believe they can help change the status quo. Your images have a profound effect on people, whether seen in a gallery or on a stop sign.”
Messages. Images. Effect. Someone understands phenomenology. And the thing about stop signs? “He’s kind of endorsing graffiti,” Fairey says, “isn’t he?”
He has more Obama art in the works. Coming up next? Ten thousand bicycle spoke cards.”
Archie Bells & the Drells “Tighten Up”
The line in Tighten Up “we dance just as good as we walk” was a little ironic, given that Bell had been shot in the leg and was consigned to a military hospital bed at the time.
You want to get in on the new dance craze that’s sweeping and sort of confusing the nation? All you need is Tighten Up to show YLNT how you do The Fishstick!

Kenneth Lamar Noid
In 1989, Kenneth Lamar Noid, a mentally ill customer who thought the ads were a personal attack on him, held two employees of an Atlanta, Georgia, Domino’s restaurant hostage for over five hours. After forcing them to make him a pizza and making demands for $100,000, getaway transportation and a copy of The Widow’s Son, Noid surrendered to the police. Noid was charged with kidnapping, aggravated assault, extortion and possession of a firearm during a crime. He was found not guilty by reason of insanity.
