Free. At Last.

Read this post for a view into the lies that marketers tell. Or at least corporate spokes-persons. What is worse? The moron who makes the statement or the morons who actually accept it on face value? The city of Chicago should have been outraged on the behalf of their citizens. The council should have slapped these fools with a huge fine. Course, we are talking about politicians, aren't we?

Boing Boing: Chicago's Bean sculpture is free to photograph, at last: "The park's management then set out to turn this prominent public sculpture into a moneymaker. They set out ruinous rates for professional photographers, wedding photos, and videographers, and then used the publicly funded security staff to enforce this ban. The security guards went around, kicking out anyone who looked like they may be a 'professional' photographer, which meant anyone with a nice camera and/or a tripod."
