FADE TO BROWN
Because so many people have been asking for some clarification as to Arthur’s future:
There are no further issues of Arthur planned at this time. We’re happy we got to do the three issues we did in 2013, while being able to pay our contributors for the first time ever and fulfill all those old outstanding subscriptions.
The online mail-order Arthur Store will be open until March 2, 2014. At that point, all unsold backstock will be chucked on the compost heap or into the recycle bin. Everything has been discounted. A number of items are now sold out and have been removed from the Store. Go here to grab stuff for cheep: arthur.bigcartel.com
This website, as well as the Arthur Facebook, Twitter and Tumblr pages/feeds, will stop being updated on March 3, 2014.
For many reasons, it’s now time for Arthur to go dormant. Perhaps the mag will sprout again in the future, perhaps not. In any event, we hope we’ve been of some use, and thank everyone who’s been so kind to us.
Thank you so kindly,
The Arthur Gang

EVERYTHING MUST GO
Arthur store CLOSES for good on March 2, 2014 and everything left goes in the recycle bin or compost heap.
CDs have been discounted to $5 each, and prices for many back issues of the magazine have been cut as well.

LET’S BE PERFECTLY CLEAR
Study: “Higher social class predicts increased unethical behavior” (Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences – Jan. 26, 2012) (via Joseph E. Stiglitz)
“Secret Handshakes Greet Frat Brothers on Wall Street” (Bloomberg News – Dec. 22, 1013)
“Sigma Alpha Epsilon has sent almost 3,000 men into finance, according to resumes on LinkedIn, which shows no other industry employing more than 1,800…”
Jarvis Cocker – “Cunts Are Still Running the World” (2006 – featured in the film Children of Men)
Well did you hear, there’s a natural order
Those most deserving will end up with the most
That the cream cannot help but always rise up to the top
Well I say, “Shit floats”
If you thought things had changed
Friend, you’d better think again
Bluntly put, in the fewest of words:
Cunts are still running the world (x2)
Now the working classes are obsolete
They are surplus to society’s needs
So let ’em all kill each other
And get it made overseas.
That’s the word, don’t you know
From the guys that’s running the show
Let’s be perfectly clear boys and girls,
Cunts are still running the world [Repeat: x 2]
Oh feed your children on crayfish and lobster tails,
Find a school near the top of the league
In theory I respect your right to exist
I will kill you if you move in next to me
Ah, it stinks, it sucks, it’s anthropologically unjust
Oh, but the takings are up by a third, oh so
Cunts are still running the world [Repeat: x 2]
The free market is perfectly natural
Do you think that I’m some kind of dummy?
It’s the ideal way to order the world
“Fuck the morals, does it make any money?”
And if you don’t like it, then leave
Or use your right to protest on the street.
Yeah use your right, but don’t imagine that it’s heard
Cunts are still running the world [Repeat: x 6]
