Huffington Post: Taco Bell Refuses To Back Down In Breakfast Wars

Posted: 07 Apr 2014 10:00 AM PDT

NEW YORK (AP) — Taco Bell is taking another jab at McDonald's in a new ad for its breakfast menu.

The fast-food chain will begin airing a TV spot that is set to the tune of "Old MacDonald Had a Farm" and shows a man who has been eating Egg McMuffins since 1984. After trying Taco Bell's breakfast, the man trims his mullet, switches to tighter pants, gets a smart phone and takes down his "Loverboy" poster.

It's a follow up to another ad that featured real-life men named Ronald McDonald professing their love of Taco Bell's breakfast. If Taco Bell seems fixated with McDonald's, it's with good reason; McDonald's has long been the heavyweight in the fast-food breakfast category with 31 percent of the market, according to food industry researcher Technomic.

The research was published in the journal "Cyberpsychology, Behavior, and Social Networking" by Russell Clayton, a doctoral student at the University of Missouri focused on philosophy in journalism.

Clayton posits that too much Twitter could "lead to unfavorable relationship outcomes such as cheating, breakup, or divorce." But to be clear, a Twitter obsession isn't directly correlated to infidelity; it's just his guess.

Huffington Post: An Art Critic Reviews George W. Bush's Paintings... And Isn't Impressed

Posted: 07 Apr 2014 10:06 AM PDT

George W. Bush's painting exhibition opened this weekend at the George Bush Presidential Library and Museum in Dallas. Dubya's premiere exhibition revolves around portraits of world leaders from Vladimir Putin to his own father, rendered in Bush's strangely intriguing figurative style.

Art critic Deborah Solomon stopped by HuffPost Live to give her thoughts on the 43rd president-turned-burgeoning artist. Spoiler alert: she wasn't particularly impressed.

"I would just like to point out they are basically very simple-minded as paintings," Solomon explains, stressing the fact that Bush likely projects photographs onto a panel and copies them, a process known to the masses as tracing.
