re starbucks, have you seen this? http://www.starbuckscoffee.co.uk/home.html
Hey Tom,
Remember on the Onion 9/11 issue they had a guide about how to break the news to your children that the world was not a safe place, well I was browsing the Newsround website (for teaching resources) and found this guide by them
about what to do if you’re upset by what you see on the news:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/cbbcnews/hi/newsid_2330000/newsid_2333800/2333893.stm
I felt reassured, but somewhere between the reality of scared children and the satire of the onion, I sometimes feel like I want someone to say to me: It’s ok to be scared, Ewan.
Also, I enjoyed the link to the piece with all the adverts and signs covered in yellow. Reminded me of that Christo piece where he covers the Reichstag, except with a point to it.
See ya!
