Rumblings: There’s No Accounting For Taste
>>> The King Tut Exhibit at the Franklin Institute had the highest attendance for a temporary art exhibit in the world for 2007. Think about that for a moment. If the Frank really wanted to soup up its money game, A King Tut vs. Darth Vader Battle of Hoth Hologram Laser Light Show could not be far off, based on current demographics. What, that’s not science? [Inky]
>>> Chester has finally succeeded in obliterating Collinsville, IL, the little town that thought it could but really couldn’t — suck it, bitches! — and will be awarded a soccer franchise today. Also succeeding in jumping the gun just a bit, the team has a website (some of which is in Spanish) and some weird songs, but is currently lacking, oh, I don’t know, a name. Either way, we’re ready for alot of these faces, but on professionals. Finally, though, in troubling news for Chester’s self-esteem, the as-yet-unnamed team may include the word “Philadelphia” in their moniker. [Inky/Attytood/collegepublisher.com]
>>> In the turbulent rock ‘n’ roll world of scratch ‘n’ sniff technological development, a Bala Cynwyd company has developed an “edible flavor film” that can be included in magazine ads allowing readers to taste advertised products right then and there. Can you even imagine what Philly Style will taste like? [6ABC]
