The Art of Making Money or Making Money Art?

Two very different subjects, one far more interesting than the other. By the amount of advertising you see here on Dr. Blogstein (none!), you can guess which of the two I find more interesting: Making Money Art

Is it just me or does everyone enjoy getting their change back from a cashier and noticing someone drew a mustache and glasses on George Washington’s face? I never thought it was just me, and now a visionary by the name of John Bitter has confirmed my belief.

Bitter, who is also known as “The Burrito King of Charlotte, N.C.” (not to be confused with Abe Froman who is the “Sausage King of Chicago”), is also someone who is oddly drawn to money that is drawn upon.

Bitter is the owner of Johnny Burrito, a lunchtime landmark in downtown Charlotte, N.C., jammed with customers from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., most of whom pay in cash. He made a practice of setting aside bills with interesting markings, messages and drawing on it.

Luckily, Bitter doesn’t keep these to himself. With the help of the World Wide Web, he stores these bills for us all to enjoy on www.uglymoney.com

There are over 300 “ugly” bills on his site worth more than $1,750! Its The Museum of Moron Art! Its surely worth the visit–Would Dr. B steer you wrong?

***Click here for the latest info on Brad Thor!***

or click play below to listen to Dr.Blogstein’s June 24, 2008 interview with Brad Thor

Brad Thor, one of the finest thriller writers in the world today, whose books usually take on Islamic Radical Fundamentalist terrorists, is now taking on the National Football League.

Huh?

Yeah, you read that correctly. In his blog on Amazon.com, Thor cites this recent Fox News report that the NFL refused to run a U.S. Border Patrol recruitment ad in last month’s Super Bowl program because it thought certain language in the ad, specifically the terms “terrorists,” “illegal aliens” and “drug smugglers”, might offend attendees. Because of this, Thor is calling for a boycott of the NFL.

“To say that I am shocked is an understatement,” Thor states in his blog post, “I never knew that terrorists, illegal aliens and drug smugglers comprised such a stalwart base of NFL customers. Heaven forbid the NFL should offend them.”

Thor believes the NFL made this decision because they are currently considering a foreign franchise in the next 10 years, with Mexico City a strong contender. He cites this quote from NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell:

“We love Mexico. We have a great fan base there. It’s growing every day. We are very interested in going back. And we hope to be dealing with the various officials in Mexico to try to get that done for the 2008 season.”

To me, it does seem silly that the NFL would decline to take money from the government to run this ad that hoped to help reach President Bush’s goal of boosting Border Patrol’s ranks to 18,000. I mean, if the NFL really wants Mexico to have a franchise doesn’t it behoove the league to keep the potential fan base in that country? At this rate, the best way to reach the Mexican market would be to finally bring an NFL franchise back to Los Angeles!

I vow to fully support Brad Thor’s call for a boycott of the National Football League. . .at least until September.

I also vow NOT to watch the NFL Network that is still currently unavailable on my local cable system.

By the way, Brad Thor is from Chicago and is a Chicago Bears fan though that is reportedly not the cause of his bitterness towards the game of football.
