Children enjoying ice cream at the Hoot Hoot I Scream hut in Los Angeles, CA - c. 1930s

The head rotated; the eyes, made from Buick headlamps, blinked; the sign: Hoot Hoot, I Scream, used elements of a theater marquee. For over 50 years, Tillie Hattrup ran this L.A.-area refreshment spot designed and built by her husband, Roy in 1926-27. It was demolished in 1979.

Watering Down Our National Parks

For Coke, “donating” a fraction of a percent of its revenue (roughly .0013%) keeps its Dasani bottled water for sale in parks and buys the exclusive right to use park logos in advertisements. As marketing schemes go, it’s brilliant. Coke greens its image, turns a profit in the park, and writes it all off at tax time. Since August of 2011, the National Park Service has been working on a billion dollar corporate-financed endowment, and Coke has been in on the plans since the initial fundraising summit.

So, this is definitely the best sign outside the Supreme Court right now.

I heartily DISAGREE. It may be great for getting reposts on tumblr, but crap like this only serves to convince people that you live in a fantasyland and that you don’t understand what it takes to bring about real change in the real world. You might as well throw in some gay zombies and a “Dr. Who for president” sign.
