"I'd like to thank -- I mean, slap -- The Academy..."



Hardly-breaking news: I'm an Oscar geek. I admit it. I love the Oscars. The schmaltz. The glamor. The tradition. The excess. So I must ask (as lovingly as a mother with an errant child) -- why, oh, why can't they cough up a few grand from their squillion dollar budget for a decent Oscar poster? Every year, it's a celebration of bad graphic design. This year they appear to have given the design honors to an accounting intern who thought it might be cool to "do something a little iPod-y."
