Mad Men Recap 6.3: Sexual Collaborations as Trade Secrets

Last updated on: April 19, 2013 at 12:44 pm By Nick Olson

“We consider it quite a vote of confidence,” Ken Cosgrove says, smiling awkwardly at the Heinz Beans representative named Raymond. The younger, more successful Heinz Ketchup Guy has just strolled out of the office. Ken and the gang have been led to believe that they are on the verge of landing Heinz Ketchup as their next central product for advertisement. Secretly, though, Raymond is ragingly jealous of his younger colleague’s meteoric success and tells Ken and Don Draper that they’re... Read more

Wise as Serpents: Making Too Much of Abortion and Polygamy

Last updated on: April 19, 2013 at 12:31 pm By S. L. Whitesell

What do Westboro Baptist Church, a liberal columnist at Slate arguing for polygamy, and abortionist Kermit Gosnell have in common? They are all specific examples within a broader class, and they are all almost completely obscured by rhetoric’s tug of war. Both sides stake a claim to these kinds examples, contorting it to fit their argument du jour. It is no wonder that Nietzsche was driven to conclude that all truth is a power struggle when it seems like any fact can... Read more

Frequently Searched Questions: I Feel Betrayed by My Wife’s Loyalty to Lousiville

Last updated on: April 19, 2013 at 9:36 am By Alan Noble

The following are actual search terms people typed into Google (Yahoo?) which directed them to CaPC. In most cases they didn’t find the answer they were looking for on our site. FSQ is an attempt to remedy this problem by answering some of the most (de)pressing questions sent to us through search terms. This week’s theme is “Books.” Q 1. Do the Game of Thrones books have sex? Only with dust jackets on. And they call it “pagination.” And now I have... Read more

Notes from the Margins: Dove Makes us Feel Great in All the Wrong Ways

Last updated on: April 30, 2013 at 7:53 pm By D.L. Mayfield

Each week in Notes From the Margins, D.L. Mayfield writes about the kingdom of God, marginalized people groups, and popular culture. Judging by the amount of shares, clicks, and likes, I was not the only woman who teared up whilst watching the newest ad from Dove, called Real Beauty Sketches. I couldn’t believe it as it was happening, as I was already biased against feeling anything—I have longed trained myself to laugh at what the advertisers are trying to sell me,... Read more

Philosophers for Hire? “Marketable” Majors and the Question of Christian Vocation

Last updated on: April 17, 2013 at 8:02 am By Geoffrey Reiter

When people joke (usually good-naturedly) about the perceived irrelevance of English majors (or other liberal arts degrees) in the current national and global economy, I smile and laugh along, though I have to admit that such considerations have always seemed rather distant. I graduated as an English major at a small Christian college in 2001, so just before the various recessions of the past decade or so started kicking in. No one in my memory ever counseled me to choose... Read more

Justin Bieber & the Dangers of Being Famous too Early

Last updated on: April 17, 2013 at 6:41 am By Derek Rishmawy

Back when my wife and I used to watch American Idol with her family every week, I had a staunch policy of not supporting any contestants under the age of 18, regardless of talent or the competition. My gut feeling was that 16 is just too young for most people to have that much attention focused on them. If they were good, take a shot at it in another couple of years. A few years on, a couple of years... Read more
