The Many-Hued Future

One of my favorite images is a spectrum of color, especially common in the forties and fifties with the explosion of artificial dyes, colored plastics, and the inks to print advertisements for them.

Monsanto! Boooooooo! :P Well, at least these ads don't show them trying to force chemicals into--and change the chemical nature of--my food. I'm kind of loving those M color chips, though. If I had them, I would hide them in a secret place and quietly sneak away and play with them now and then. Those have turned me into a total hypocrite. My organic gardening friends must never know about this!

Perhaps one of the most evil corporations on the planet.
