It’s been two years already, since I mentioned Barbie’s 48th birthday. Which means she’s 50 now. Barbie has had many styles and fashions, but she’s always up-to-date.

Picture This
Newspapers and magazines are laying off staff, and those that remain are writing articles on how to survive a layoff. Print media is in big trouble, and was long before the recession. As I highlighted over two years ago, the writing was on the virtual wall as far back as 1972.
One of the things that keeps me reading the printed page are the pictures that don’t make it to the online version of articles. One example is this photo by Jonatham Kantor for a recent Newsweek article, using a Peanuts Band-Aid to illustrate the claim that vaccinations have led to an increase in autism in children.
It’s a clever idea, but do you see the medical mistake?
