Arby's bought Wendy's for $2.34 billion. Wendy's was owned by the Thomas family since 1969 and they are very sad about the whole thing. Hopefully they wont change the menue! The logo is Wendy wearing the Arby's hat. This symbolizes that Wendy now works for Arby's or is now owned by Arby's and her facial expression shows her surprize.

Pope Benedict XVI visited New York City and Washington DC to find many protestors. This pope has been the least tolerant one in a while, banning contraception, speaking against gay marriage, promoting sexism in the church, and doing nothing to help the voulnerable and the wounded of priest child sex abuse. All of the protestors were catholics, but disagreed with the pope on many points. This logo depicts Pope Benedict XVI, blessing a crowd of protestors with signs. In between his hands is the type :PROTEST ANT", referring to the protestors being protestant (not religiously, but literally) and playing on the name of a branched off religion. The Capitol Building is in the background.

American Airlines cancelled hundreds of flights due to inspection problems. Many airlines, mainly American, have been cancelling thousands of flights because of inspection related problems. Passengers are fuming. 250,000 passengers have been affected by American this week alone. This is the American Airlines logo, with a C that stands for cancellations, and the eagle has it's wings clipped as the planes never took off. Birds that have their wings clipped can not fly by the way.

April 2:
Today, a group of nine 3rd graders plotted to attack their teacher. The reason was because the teacher scolded one of them for stading on a chair the previous day. The group of 3rd graders were organized: one brought a broken steak knife, annother brought handcuffs, one more brought duct tape, and others would close the curtains and clean up afterwards. The plan did not go through and if it did, half of the group may not have done anything for fear of getting in trouble. The police are trying to figure out what to do with them since they probably did not know the consequences of what they were going to do. This logo is a parody of "The Children Of The Corn" poster. I did this because the 3rd graders were acting like the children of the corn, and it made a good visual. The large hand is holding a steak knife instead of a corn shucker, there are eight other children in the background instead of seven, and instead of a corn feild, there are school desks. The title and subtitle are about the same font and color as the origional, but it says "Children of Center Elementary" since that was the name of the school.
