Jerry Curl

[ Editor's note ] The Curl took a back seat this weekend because I was enjoying some time off for my birthday. Your editor is now writing as a 26 years old. They say with age comes wisdom. Well, I'm still looking for that all over the place. Anyway, blogging will be on the lighter side this week as I have tons of stuff to work on. Cheers!

--> Occupy TV : The ad above will begin airing nationally. They ad: "This may well be the first time a protest movement will air a positive branding ad." (Via Towleroad ) --> Alisha L. Gordon, M.Ed., Founder of "Finding the Pieces", writes an excellent piece about the deferment of the American dream: Who is here to help us? Who will aid the American people who chased the American Dream, went to college, started a business or pursued a passion only to get to the end of the road of "promise and prosperity" and have no job or capital to help fund their way from dream to reality? Occupy Any Street is exactly that. It is an occupation, a takeover for the American Dream. Reclaiming the promise made through the blood, sweat, and tears of the people before us. It is not subject to race, nationality, or religion. It is, in fact, a universal promise made to those who call themselves American citizens.

--> Let's face it, that's a great headline. The details of Lindsay Lohan's legal troubles change from year to year, but one thing remains the same – she gets to have her picture taken. In nobody cares news: Lohan, 25, sat for the police camera for the fifth time in her criminal career on yesterday, as she was handcuffed and taken to jail for missing too many community service appointments. (She later made bail and was released.) The actress previously posed for mugshots twice in 2007 and twice in 2010. In the latest photo, she is largely expressionless – lips slightly apart, her blonde hair framing a blank gaze. Lohan is due back in court Nov. 2 for a hearing to formally determine if she did indeed violate her probation. In the meantime, she is set to begin janitorial duty at the L.A. County morgue two days a week. Photo caption: Top: Nov. 15 and July 24, 2007; Bottom: Sept. 24 and July 20, 2010
