...rejection slips. The Kingpins also play with art stardom. In their new video Dark Side of the Mall, 2004, the Sydney girls hilariously strut their stuff in an underground carpark like characters from a bad Michael Jackson music clip. In the process they also manage to diss art star Matthew Barney, with one of their werewolves sporting an i survived the creamster series T shirt. Will such work stand the test of time? Probably not.

...outcry over U.S. corporations' hiring white-collar labor abroad grows ever louder, an expanding body of research and analysis suggests that a job gained overseas isn't necessarily a job lost at home. According to a study by Matthew Slaughter, an associate professor at Dartmouth's Tuck School of Business, during the decade ending in 2001, U.S. firms hired nearly 3 million workers abroad, up 42%. At the same time, companies also expanded their U.S. work forces by almost 5.5 million, or 31%. Often, "as firms expand or sell in foreign markets, they have to hire people...
