Philadelphia Will Do  
 

Odds & Ends

• Congratulations, Internet! You got a Dunkin Donuts ad pulled because Rachel Ray’s scarf was the same color as Arafat’s. Democracy is doomed. [Reason]

• Hey, here’s visual evidence of local celebrity (”celebrity”) photographer Hugh Dillon getting pushed by Jennifer Aniston’s bodyguard or whoever. Ha ha, hooray for random violence. Everyone loves random violence!

• Oh, then there’s this, also taken by Hugh:

Ahh, we may never really call it anything but the Franklin Institute, but at least the PR people behind the new PR campaign for “the Franklin” put a giant question mark in the sky, no doubt confusing clueless Philadelphians into thinking it was the end of the world or something. We need to start putting more punctuation on the Cira Center, STAT. Get me an interrobang!

• Over on the Skyline, a reader sends in a photo of the ridiculous rainbow in Philadelphia over the weekend. [Phillyskyline]

• And, in non-photographic news, here is a line the Inquirer has deemed one of the greatest of the century so far: “For Greg [Luzinski] to hit an inside-the-park home run, the three outfielders would have to collide and burst into flames.” No way is that better than “Who let the dogs out?” [Inquirer]

• Oh, and Pennsylvania is the choice of four out of five post-apocalyptic filmmakers. [The Plank]

    WOW on the rainbow. I agree with you on the Franklin Institute name change. As far as I am concerned, Franklin is an adjective and Institute is a noun. (Thanks for the shout out too)

    I think the photos of Alycia Lane in a bikini will be found in the post-apocalypse.

    Nutter DOES have pull….the pot of gold looks like it’d be found somewhere around City Hall
