UArts Students On Obama

UArts kids celebrated yesterday’s inauguration yesterday by making some art for Barack Obama, KYW 1060 reports. Some students also made everyone who heard the report want to make a thousand art school jokes.

• “I wrote, ‘Yay, Obama,’ because I’m glad he’s president.”
• “I wrote, ‘Work it B-Rock,’ and I wrote, ‘Keep the Hope Alive in ‘09.’”

Yay, UArts. Yay.

Blogicized: No Moon risin’

• What we all (well, me) suspected for a while now is official: Tom Moon is gone from the Inquirer. Apparently, they wanted him to podcast or something. [Philebrity]

• A group calling themselves the Society for the Prevention of Misandry in the Media have declared a war on misandry, i.e. hatred of men. They’ve gotten a Verizon ad with a clueless dad pulled from the airwaves. As stupid as this group is, why weren’t they around when Home Improvement was on the air? If they got that off TV they could have actually done some good. [Attytood]

• There’s a meeting in Fishtown tonight at 7 p.m. about the possible impact of slots on the Fishtown/Kensington/&c. area. Oh, I wish I could go. It’s totally going to be crazy. [PhillyBlog]

• The University of he Arts has planned a 22,000-square foot “Skyline Performing Arts Center” on the upper floors of the U.’s building at Broad and Walnut. [America's Hometown]
