I haven’t slept well the last two nights thinking about the carnage from the attacks at the Marathon Monday afternoon. How does something like that happen in Boston? I then read Dennis Lehane’s great Op-Ed in the NY Times this morning: http://www.nytimes.com/2013/04/17/opinion/messing-with-the-wrong-city.html?hp&_r=0
How should the city honor the dead and horribly maimed? I think next year we need to make Patriots Day 10X bigger and call it Freedom Festival for the weekend. Free concerts all weekend in Boston Common, baseball, food trucks, beer, pie eating contests. Everything these terrorists hate, what makes America great, we need to roll out in triple just to say “fuck you, how ya like me now?”.

lucky peach two-item combo reading with fried rice
like a $3.99 lunch combination meal at a chinese restaurant, this event presents a taste of two disparate and saucy lucky peach issues. in slot one, a helping of the apocalypse issue. specifically, the debut of a short new video featuring chef magnus nilsson preparing roast chicken in the year 2034. then, lp editor peter meehan, contributor gideon lewis-kraus, bon appetit editor andrew knowlton, and writer emily witt talk travel and where travel writing falls short. both items will inevitably spill over their barriers and into one another. all served over fried rice, courtesy of danny bowien of mission chinese food. hosted by lp editor-in-chief chris ying. fried rice is first come, first serve.

Amazon vs. iTunes

Over the holidays I really started exploring the Amazon video and MP3 store and combined with the iPhone and iPad app find it superior to iTunes on a couple of fronts:

  1. Price - Amazon is almost always cheaper
  2. The selection of free video content to stream with a Prime membership is great, especially for kids
  3. It syncs with my Sony TV without any added hardware (Apple TV)
  4. Their apps for streaming or downloading music or video is far superior to Apple in the ease in which it lives on the cloud

Predictions for E Channel Programming Around Kardashian/Kanye Baby

  1. Baby shower where gifts are all paid product placement
  2. Someone explains to Lamar Odom how baby’s are made, he mumbles understanding in sub-titles
  3. Bruce Jenner gets a unintentionally racist tattoo at a Kanye West concert with Rob
  4. Kris Humphries makes a cameo for filing a lawsuit claiming he is the real father
  5. Ryan Seacrest has a boner on Grammy red carpet while interviewing Kim and Kanye thinking about how much money he is making off this stupid kid

Let me tell you a story. The day after Columbine, I was interviewed for the Tom Brokaw news program. The reporter had been assigned a theory and was seeking sound bites to support it. “Wouldn’t you say,” she asked, “that killings like this are influenced by violent movies?” No, I said, I wouldn’t say that. “But what about ‘Basketball Diaries’?” she asked. “Doesn’t that have a scene of a boy walking into a school with a machine gun?” The obscure 1995 Leonardo Di Caprio movie did indeed have a brief fantasy scene of that nature, I said, but the movie failed at the box office (it grossed only $2.5 million), and it’s unlikely the Columbine killers saw it.
The reporter looked disappointed, so I offered her my theory. “Events like this,” I said, “if they are influenced by anything, are influenced by news programs like your own. When an unbalanced kid walks into a school and starts shooting, it becomes a major media event. Cable news drops ordinary programming and goes around the clock with it. The story is assigned a logo and a theme song; these two kids were packaged as the Trench Coat Mafia. The message is clear to other disturbed kids around the country: If I shoot up my school, I can be famous. The TV will talk about nothing else but me. Experts will try to figure out what I was thinking. The kids and teachers at school will see they shouldn’t have messed with me. I’ll go out in a blaze of glory.”

In short, I said, events like Columbine are influenced far less by violent movies than by CNN, the NBC Nightly News and all the other news media, who glorify the killers in the guise of “explaining” them. I commended the policy at the Sun-Times, where our editor said the paper would no longer feature school killings on Page 1. The reporter thanked me and turned off the camera. Of course the interview was never used. They found plenty of talking heads to condemn violent movies, and everybody was happy.
