Comments on: Game Over http://joealterio.com/2007/02/game-over/ Joe Alterio's blog on illustration, comix, design, animation, and other bouts of total awesomeness.

I should caution you against writing "the terrorists have won" too many times on the blog, because Google can see that stuff, and the terrorists probably have some laptops by now, and you're obviously giving them comfort, you traitor. <br /><br />Seriously, the post makes me begin to wonder why we don't consider 9/11 to be a huge marketing stunt (the morbid among us might call it a "launch") by Al Qaeda, proffering a new way forward for people who love to watch Americans die. If we do, can't we also consider our government, with its ham-handed foreign policy and disregard for the lives of Iraqi civilians, to be blindly complicit in the campaign? I second KO’s emotion.

You do it well, in this case definitely providing a perspective that I haven't heard elsewhere.<br /><br />Just my opinion. dude, you should write about current events (as they relate to art or drawing or whatever you like) more often.
