CNN's offbeat pictures

Looking over these pictures, one thing really strikes me about these photos that CNN.com runs, it's how 1950's they look, how vanilla white. Even photos that sometimes show other races (not this week, they're all white) seem to be straight out of a Norman Rockwell painting.

Start paying attention to visuals on TV. If a product is aimed at urban centers, they tend to feature more multi-cultured diversity... but if a product is aimed at middle America, look for seas upon seas of white folks. It's quite fascinating if not demeaning.

I keep wondering when they're going to show an aging New-Waver Asian Country Western dancing Bowler. Maybe then I could identify. :)
