Blue Chips Ahoy
The recent revelation that Saddam Hussein has a taste for Jay Leno-approved nacho-cheese chip Doritos has sent shock waves through the snack food industry. I recently contacted PepsiCo’s board of directors about their thoughts on the shocking, possibly treasonous, matter. (Disclosure: PepsiCo owns Frito Lays which owns Doritos which holds a majority stake in low culture heavy industries.)

Subject: Investment Concerns
Dear Sirs and Madames:
I am very concerned about recent revelations that Saddam Hussein enjoys Doritos. This man is a tyrant, while Doritos should represent peace, justice, and American snack food at its best.
PepsiCo. forms a large part of my mutual fund’s investment portfolio and I have begun to feel that I should divest myself of the holdings.
I would like to know what Frito-Lay intends to do in order to quell this public relations nightmare.
Yours,
Guy Cimbalo

Welcome to the bleeding edge! It’s official, then…this “podcasting” thing is bloody hot!
low culture is proud to present the first, inaugural, premiere episode of “No Jacket Required”, a no-holds-barred look at contemporary arts and culture. This mp3/podcast/olde timey radio broadcast runs somewhere around eleven minutes: perfect for your commute home, downtime at work, or on constant repeat throughout your day (it’s possible to enjoy “No Jacket Required” over 130 times in the course of a 24-hour period).
You’ve come to rely on low culture for reasonably entertaining satire and comedy — now give “No Jacket Required” a try. Seriously, we think you’ll enjoy it. Earnestly, even.
And maybe it’ll explain why we’ve been so damned absent of late?
