Today at Flavorpill, when we were supposed to be busy working… we got schooled on the secrets of charisma; we felt sad all over again about the death of The Wire; we learned how not to use Twitter; we wished we lived in Cincinatti thanks to Ryan McGinness; we watched Kathy Griffin explain her CNN NYE escapade on Kimmel; we realized that White Zombie was just misunderstood; we questioned whether DC Comics’ Superman was secretly racist; we watched Defamer’s Stu Van Airsdale spank five critics for their top 10 lists, which looked almost as painful as this cow giving birth to a man; we felt disoriented by the BBC’s list of 2009’s rising music stars; and finally, thanks to Murray Moss we are 100 percent sure that design does not love a depression as much as Michael Cannell claims it does.
