    In reply to Forget the Nobel. 'Most TIME Covers Ever' Is the Prize Obama Really Needs.
    I wonder what company has the most back covers of Time.

    My guess? Kool cigarettes.

    If there is ever a re-enactment of this event, I want it to be directed by Quentin Tarantino and involve Hillary running up a banister with a sword in her hand.

    @Pope John Peeps II:

    1. It has a good song by Leonard Cohen
    2. It has my hero Shaun Tomson in it
    3. It features ground-breaking (?) surfing from the 70's
    4. It's from "Bustin' Down the Door," a film that documents the invasion of the aussies into hawaiian big wave surfing, and thus ties to the global nature of our subject matter.
    5. It's environmentally friendly.
    6. Happy Holidays

    Oh. So it's one of those films of huge cultural importance, that everyone would universally recognize.

    @sweet_communist: The point of this post was to showcase a funny movie clip and a great 80s punk band. Get with the program. Who gives a shit about climate change? Twin Tone records was one of the best 80s labels.

    Who remembers that story in Spin mag about Bob Stinson just before he died. Tragic.
