Sons of Anarchy

I have been watching this new show, Sons of Anarchy. Its actually really good and I enjoy ity a lot. When I came to my blog to find something to write about I was stumped for a few before coming up with this show. When I tried to think about how the show can relate to this calss i finally realized it. In the show there are different biker clubs. The sons of anarchy and like a few more that they have shown so far. The sons of anarchy are almost 100 percent white. The other groups that they have shown are black and mexican. They also have a nazi group that is involve din the show. This is a pretty diverse group of people involved in one show. I was surprised how diverse it was. Do any of you guys watch any shows that have either a lot or barely any diversity in it?

Diversity in CMA

Well, I was listening to the radio today on the way to school and I heard them talking about the Country Music Awards that had occurred the previous night. They were talking about how Taylor Swift won like everything she was nominated for. They were also making fun of Kanye because of what he did at the VMAs. It made me realize that there is little to no diversity in country music. I mean I dont care too much because I hate country music to begin with. But I tried to think of other music genres that have less diversity and couldn't think of one. Maybe its just me but am I wrong. Is there any cultural diversity in Country Music?

CNN, Latinos in America

I was fliiping through the channels theother night and found this show on CN called Latinos in America. This is a story about a family, the Garcias. They consist of a mom a dad, and two children. The two parents started in New York City where they lived since they had arrived in America. Then they decided to move to Georgia where they would raise a family. where they lived in New York was a complete Latino neighborhood with a lot of Latino culture in all types of different ways. They complain about how their kids are growing up with little to no Latino culture in their life. This kind of annoys me. I understand how the parents would want some Latino culture in their life, but they need to underdstand that their kids are 100 percent american. This is their culture for the most part now. They arent going to be 100 latino in everyday life. They are going to do and like the things that surround them and the people they surround themselves with. If they wanted their children to have Latino culture that bad, they would of stayed in New York.

Dont be a menace to south central while drinking your juice in the hood

When I was a kid my friends and I loved the movie, Dont be amenace to south central while drinking your juice in the hood. This flick is absolutely ridiculous and stresses black stereotypes to the absolute extreme. It is a great movie and is hilarious, butthis isnt a surprise because it was written by the wayans brothers. It basically brings different black urban stereotypes to humor and it works perfectly. A great quote by a police officer basically tells it all in this outrageous movie

You ain't so tough now, little nigga. I hate your black bastards, you *stink*! I hate your black skin. I hate your black pants. I hate black pepper. I hate black keys on a piano. I hate my gums, because they're black. I hate Whoopi Goldberg's *lips*. I hate the back of Forrest Whittaker's neck. Huh? Most of all, I hate that black-ass Wesley Snipes.

Can yu guys think of any other films that revolve around some type of race and their stereotypes that are humorous?

South Park is Back

The new season of South Park is upon us. There have been two episodes and they have both been really good. South Parks humor much like other humor revolves around offensive material. The first episode is a spin off of the movie The Sixth Sense, with Ike. But instead of seeing dead people he is seeing dead celebreties. Since there have been a high number of celebrity deaths this is a good topic. Some of the people included in the episode were Billy Mayes, D.J. AM, and even Michael Jackson. There were also many more to name. I think that the more offensive the humor is, the better the show is overall. Do you think that there is a line between offensive and funny. If so where is that line? Personally I dont believe the line should exist if it does.

Cool Advertising Technique

This is a picture of Donatos pizza in Columbus Ohio. They have taken their advertisement to a new level. This is a replica a little larger then the actual pizza they serve. But Is very life like and is even agled at the pizza shop so that it looks like the steam is actually coming off the pizza billboard. This is a cool advertising technique that doesnt cost a whole lot extra. I can think of some other places that have taken on advertising techniques such as these. Can you think of any other cool advertising techniques used by places these days?

Blind,black,white supremacist

This skit by Dave Chappelle has broughten comedic racism and stereotypes to a whole new level. This skit is about a blind black man who thinks he is white. He is also one of the leading members of the Klu Klux Klan. but others dont know he is black and think he is white. The reporter tries to tell him that he is really white and the black man doesnt believe him. The whole video is him going off on how black people and all other races are bad, hitting every stereotype in the book. It is really ridicuolous and you need to watch and see . Here is a link to the video. This is the first skit of the Chappelle show and this is what kicked off Dave Chappelles carrer.
