avantpopartist What brainwashing? The Daily Show and Colbert Report mock Democrats as well as Republicans, finding ripe satire on both sides. It's a pretty safe assumption that the show on the Fox News Channel will only rip on liberals. However, I doubt the show will last...

avantpopartist That's great. They are just unbelievable. Their own version of the Daily Show, the 1/2 Hour News Hour, may just be the most spectacularly unfunny thing ever.

On January 6, 2007, in NYC the temperature rose to 70. Most people wouldn't complain about that in the middle of winter. I personally find that incredibly terrifying. People, global warming is happening and it is happening faster...

avantpopartist That's good to hear. I read that Al Gore is also planning a series of concerts all over the planet called Live Earth for this summer, so I look forward to that. The government's respone has just been appalling, although in Bush's last State of the Union, he...

What was once an underground phenomenon between hardcore music lovers has become a commonplace practice among the mainstream. This subculture has come to redefine how we receive and listen to music. Suddenly, everyone became...

avantpopartist Along the lines of the movie "M", I recommend "The Night of the Hunter". It's an American film (1955) that was heavily influenced by the German Expressionist movement. Robert Mitchum gives what is easily one of his best roles, as a murderous preacher with the...

avantpopartist You bring some really good points on their corporate policies. What really irks me beside their unfair wages towards their workers is the "image" they try to sell to consumers. Starbucks tries to come off as this laidback hipster joint when in reality it's...

avantpopartist Yeah, a few of my friends saw it and said it was very powerful. The fact that a few diamond stores now advertise their stock as "conflict-free diamonds" shows that the movie is serving some great social purpose.
