Art?

Each day when I walk to work I pass by a local Chase bank which has "art" displayed in the windows of their lobby. This month they feature a sculpture of a gold-encrusted, bejeweled erect penis! Only in New York City!

Everything Old Is New Again

Why does this business exist? Should it? Wag.com is a start-up devoted to selling pet supplies. Almost 15 years ago during the Web 1.0 bubble, a failed effort called Pets.com ('memba that dog hand puppet mascot?) had the same model and failed big time.  So why does it work now in 2012?  Why niche e-commerce? Frankly ALL consumer products can be had fast and cheap on Amazon. Do we need this?
