Science of Self-Promotion
:: Posted by Bryan @ 12/04/2006 06:15:00 AM I've avoided linking to articles about the Science of Superheroes-style exhibit at the Ontario Science Centre because of the total lack of Canadian Content outside of the geographic location of the thing but this Globe and Mail article is slightly different in that it is also an article about the changing nature of museum exhibits that manages to mention how a) the exhibit is basically a shill for U.S. publishing juggernaut Marvel Comics and how b) Marvel co-owns the trademark on the word superhero as this Wikipedia article explains and how c) the exhibit naturally totally ignores Canadian superheroes, although I'm not sure if you could do an exhibit about the science of Johnny Canuck, The Penguin, et al.Labels: news, Ontario
