ertain words cannot be said out loud without setting off a series of complicated psycho-cultural explosions: the N word among African-Americans, the F word among gays; the C word among Chinese-Americans. Italian-Americans have a similar relationship with a two-syllable word beginning with G that is actually a man's name. And their feelings burst out loud when MTV began promoting its new reality show Jersey Shore, which an off-camera announcer declared would feature the "hottest, tannest craziest Guidos" in New Jersey's beachside communities. Wait, did MTV really just say "Guido" on the air? Most people on the east coast easily recognize the word as a slur against Italian-American men of a certain class and swagger — and there was MTV just
Robby Evans Miss Cave Research Writing 13 June 2008 Stay Classy, Will “If you’re not first, you’re last.” These are the infamous words of Will Ferrell, who plays Ricky Bobby in his laugh-out-loud movie, “Talladega Nights.” That is just one of the many quotes people like to repeat from one of the funniest actors in show business today.

Nick Bonfiglio Honors Composition II February 9, 2010 Brooke Hessler Stephen Colbert The “Truthiness” of Comic Ingenuity Acclaimed satirist Stephen Colbert has become renowned for his revolutionary comedic style, as well as his amazing marketing techniques that have shot him to the top of the cable ratings within the few years his television show, The Colbert Report, has been in existence. Since 2005, The Colbert Report, a Daily Show spin-off, parodies the conventions of television news broadcasting, particularly cable-personality political talk shows like The O'Reilly Factor, The Glenn Beck Program and Scarborough Country. Colbert hosts the show in-character as a pompous right wing pundit, who in Colbert’s own words is described as a “well intentioned, poorly informed, high status idiot.” (Rabin) Unlike its parent program, the series focuses less on the day-to-day events, more so concentrating on the foibles of the host-character himself. The Report has been nominated for four Emmy Awards for three consecutive years, and has had made a significant cultural impact in the five years it has been on the air. (Lauria) In formulating his radical satirical presence, Colbert developed a unique set of mental processes worth studying for any individual seeking to self actualize themselves in their specialty.

What I saw was Bono parading in his US flag jacket on Time magazine. I flinched, fearing Bono and all that he symbolized had become an obvious pawn for the war fervor of Bush and Blair. I hesitantly agreed with a critic who wrote, “If rock is symbolic of rebellion, Bono is blasphemous to its spirit.” Since I loved the album “All That You Can’t Leave Behind,” and having an emotional struggle with the Super Bowl show until the drop of “How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb” in 2004, I look back at the Super Bowl with a kind of animated aloofness and grateful awe.
