Ooh. Forgot this was coming. BTW just a minute and a half of Almodovar helped me figure out what I don't like about Glee--for all its melodrama, kitsch and color, the show lacks a warm, beating heart at its core. (Although I still think it's a terrific comedy and I will happily tune in every week and download every goddamn track they cover!)

This is way more interesting than I thought it would be. "[T]he story of ketchup is a story of globalization and centuries of economic domination by a world superpower. But the superpower isn't America, and the century isn't ours. Ketchup's origins in the fermented sauces of China and Southeast Asia mean that those little plastic packets under the seat of your car are a direct result of Chinese and Asian domination of a single global world economy for most of the last millenium [sic]."
