In a piece reminiscent of classic "60 Minutes," USC journalism student Matt Schrader exposes the dirty side of parking enforcement and street cleaning in downtown Los Angeles. Schrader found that while parking enforcement is out in droves ticketing cars, and mostly on street cleaning days (making the city $15,000 an hour!), the streets they're patrolling aren't even being cleaned. The best line of the piece is from a guy who got ticketed on one of those streets: "They have the manpower to ticket you, but they don't have the manpower to actually do the job."

The research revealed widespread governmental miscommunication - allowing the City to rake in millions of dollars every month - and oftentimes from batch, "sweeping" ticketings along streets that were never swept.

NPR. Date Broadcasted: Febubary 3, 2011. Genre: Pop culture A show like Gossip Girl is generally considered a girls' show while South Park is considered a boys' show. However, there are some shows that can go either way. Nickelodeon's iCarly does just that. The show is centered around a teenage girl with two best friends and her older brother. One would typically think that a show with the name iCarly, a girls' name, would cater only to girls. However, 45 percent of iCarly viewers are boys. Why? The fact that one of those best friends is a boy and the addition of the older brother evens out the cast gender-wise, making the show more appealing to boys. The comedy in the show also contributes towards that goal. Like Disney's popular show The Suite Life of Zack and Cody, iCarly has a gender-neutral cast with a great sense of humor that make the show entertaining to watch for both girls and boys and that is why it has become such a favorite among kids.
