Mixed Signals: Orange Juice Is Good But Not Omniscient

Last updated on: November 12, 2012 at 11:47 am   By Erin Straza

Mixed Signals is Erin Straza’s musing about marketing miscellany in advertising, branding, and messaging. Some days are so full of trouble and mishap, they leave us breathless and downcast in its wake. We wish we had gotten a hint of what was ahead so we could have been prepared for the onslaught.

Some might see this as reeking with privilege, and it is certainly odd that a man with much commercial influence and little time in ministry. However, I am not ready to dismiss the Archbishop of Canterbury quite yet, his background could possibly work in his favor:... Read more

Good news! If you are in debt or overweight, you can now blame your friends.

The Moviegoer: “Wreck-it Ralph” Could Use some Fixing from Felix

Last updated on: December 6, 2012 at 8:06 am   By Nick Olson

Each week in The Moviegoer, Nick Olson examines new and upcoming films. There’s a fun scene in the latter half of Wreck-it Ralph in which brutish “bad guy” Ralph is helping his little glitching, pixeled companion, Venellope von Schweetz, build a go-kart made of candy. The scene encapsulates the film’s brimming possibilities. The arcade characters build the kart within the structure and mechanism of the kart-racing game, Sugar Rush. Which is to say, in part, that they build the candy kart... Read more
