Posted by emalee217 from
In an article posted on MTV.com, Ben Stiller responds to the planned boycott of his movie by disability groups across the nation. Stiller said that the point of the scenes isn't to ridicule those with intellectual disabilities, but to poke fun at actors who play characters with intellectual disabilities in hopes of gaining critical acclaim...

More than 'Shaft': Hayes was goldmine of influence
Posted by okami from Yahoo News!
Isaac Hayes' theme song for the 1971 movie "Shaft" not only became one of pop music's iconic songs, but also the defining work of Hayes' career. Yet the "Theme from Shaft" was just a snippet of the groundbreaking music for which Hayes - who died Sunday at age 65 - was responsible.

Why I'm Boycotting The Emmys
Posted by adrienneanderson from Now Public
It was such an ugly demise to an intense drama set on Baltimore, Maryland's tough, inner-city streets -and, no, I'm not talking about the shocking deaths of two of Baltimore's most notorious criminals. I'm talking about the ugly, dismissive and undeserving omission of HBO 's incredibly taut series, The Wire , from 60th Primetime Emmy® Award nominations!

"They had to use the jaws of life to extract him from the vehicle," McFerrin said. "He was lucid, conscious. He was talking, joking with some of the rescue workers at one point."

Black in America Misses the ‘Why’
Posted by Shemuses from
The cable television program "Black in America" focused on several different socio-economic issues that affect African-Americans in today's society. Aired on CNN, host Soledad O'Brien takes the viewer on a journey through various neighborhoods; effectively shedding light on dark issues that have plagued Black America for some time. Issues such as education, marriage, pregnancy, and violence in different communities throughout the country were highlighted, giving the viewer insight into a plight that only the Black community often feels. While O'Brien did a fantastic job telling the stories of various individuals she interviewed, little emphasis was placed on the story behind the story. Not much focus was given to the "why" in these particular scenarios.

How To Stop a Republican From Laughing
Posted by Shemuses from
Generation Kill is a fine minseries being shown on HBO. It does not pretend to be anything that it is not. It is a grunt's eye view of the initial invasion of Iraq. I was watching the last episode with my filthy rich republican uncle, who, despite his dogged desire to remain a member of the thirty percent of people who still approve of George W. Bush has been having that faith rocked hard, again, and again.

Leadership on The Wire
Posted by Shemuses from
Popular culture can be a great source of material for lessons about leadership and the daunting challenge of creating meaningful, sustainable change in organizations and society--and it can provide a way to connect work, home, community, and self. For example, in the first meeting of my leadership and teamwork course in Wharton's MBA program this Spring, I mentioned how the recently-completed HBO TV series, The Wire was loaded with stories from which we could learn much about leadership and change. It's a huge hit in my family (not least because my brother, Paul Ben-Victor, is one of the actors), and we all regard it as the best that's ever been on TV.

"So many whites want to be able to say, 'I'm not one of them, those bad whites. … Hey, I voted for a black guy for president,'" Sailer wrote.

Racist: The N-Word for White People
Posted by Shemuses from
For white Gen Y'ers, 'racist' is the worst tag of all. Master TV satirist Stephen Colbert frequently pokes fun at the notions of racial political correctness by having his brash conservative pundit character proclaim that he cannot see race. It's a simple and reliably funny conceit that plays on the prevalent, if specious, notion that we live in a post-racial era, one that ignores, or optimistically shrugs off, the lingering and substantial issues between the races.

You, Too, Could Be Batman In 10 To 12 Years
Posted by Jeff from Slashdot
"You could train somebody to be a tremendous athlete and to have a significant martial arts background, and also to use some of the gear that he has, which requires a lot of physical prowess... In terms of the physical skills to be able to defend himself against all these opponents all the time, I would benchmark that at 10 to 12 years." The problem is, even after that amount of training, no one could remain on top of their game for more than a few years. And "Batman can't really afford to lose. Losing means death - or at least not being able to be Batman anymore."
