What we’re reading on the blogs today:
RACIST CUPCAKES?! Yeah, we never thought we’d see those words together either until we saw it on The Stir. Duncan Hines has gone and made this “Hip Hop Cupcakes” ad to promote its new Amazing Glazes line. By adding a little flava to vanilla cupcakes, the cupcakes really seem to find their groove.. in blackface. We’re more uncomfortable with the cupcakes than when Roger Stirling dons similar makeup to serenade his stupid wife Jane.
Oh man do we need to see something positive now. Like art teacher Rama Hughes‘ collection of his students’ works on Flickr. Pretty awesome to think the California Landmarks series was all done by 9-year-olds. (Via Tiny Iron Fists)
