    could a funny article like this work for the tam news? do you believe the comedic article effectively made a point? did anyone get offended by this article, if so why?

    I love this. I love that it shows a long standing issue in a clever and fresh way. I also now feel horrible about loving Say Yes To The Dress.

    While reading this article, I primarily had your question "could a funny article like this work for the tam news?" in the back of my mind. Perhaps to a lesser degree, an article like this could work. For example, a hard core photo-kid could for one period forget that they're a photo-kid and out try auto shop or something. I'm not sure if it would have the same effect (<correct?) but I think it would still make an interesting read.

    I really enjoyed this article. I agree that an article like this has some potential to be part of the Tam News, but may need to be toned down a bit. I think it could work though because you can take a topic that is important to someone (such as feminism) and make a light-hearted piece about it. It would definitely make for interesting read.

    I loved this article. It was unlike most other feminist articles in that it wasn't serious or angered (not that I don't enjoy reading angry feminist articles), but it was able to point out many examples of pop culture objectifying and insulting women. I think this article very effectively made it's point, not only in that the media is very disrespectful towards women, but also that for women and men fighting against these standards, it is very tiresome. I'm sure if we found a writer sarcastic and funny enough, and a topic worthy of being made fun of, that a successful article like this could be written for the Tam News. I don't see why it couldn't.

    I personally am amazed that such a simple idea for a video had such an emotional effect on me. What do you think? Is this too repetitive a peice? Is this unique and innovative type of video project a new way to explore an opinion piece? Or, is this just 'too artsy" a video to be considered journalism, and should the Tam news stick to more tradition video projects? What are your thoughts?
  • Maddy Sebastien on 05 Nov 13
     
    This video got to me as well, especially the quote "Sorry i'm so stupid". I thought the repetition is what made it powerful and thought provoking so I didn't mind it at all, especially since to me it told a kind of sad story watching all of the clips and how they were edited together. I can't picture the Tam News doing anything like this but I think branching out is an excellent idea if we want to start eliciting a more emotional response out of students.

    PARIS - A German plane carrying 142 passengers and six crew members from Barcelona to Düsseldorf crashed Tuesday in southern France, the French civil aviation authority confirmed. The wreckage of the aircraft, an Airbus A320 operated by Germanwings, a budget subsidiary of Lufthansa, was located by a French military helicopter near the town of Prads-Haute-Bléone, according to Eric Héraud, a spokesman in Paris for the aviation authority, the Direction Générale de l'Aviation Civile.

    That's crazy, and no one survived? Do they know what happened to the plane, aka technical failure, takeover, ect..

In Hit Games, Tech Giants See More Than Fun - 0 views

    Parents like Minecraft because it can be a creative outlet for their children. Teachers like the game because it can bring lessons to life. And Microsoft likes the game so much that the tech giant wants to buy Minecraft's parent company for more than $2 billion. Well, plus its fun, some people have been capable of using it as a teaching tool.

Will robot doctors be the new Norm? - 0 views

    Remote presence robots are allowing physicians to "beam" themselves into hospitals to diagnose patients and offer medical advice during emergencies, which seems very interesting and useful, but how will it affect the patient-doctor relationship? These Telepresence robots will seem much more distance and make the hospital experience very impersonal,in my opinion. And perhaps, once doctors notice the ease of this device for them ( since they could work from the comfort of their own home), less hours will be spent at the hospital, which would majorly change all patient's and just general hospital experience.

    It seems like many hip hop artists are becoming more and more aware of homophobic and racial slurs... do you think that with all this awareness, there will be some sort of hip hop revolution in the near future? Do you think that slurs that have been accepted for years will become more socially unacceptable? Or, do you think that homophobic and racist agendas is too deep rooted in hip hop culture for major change to happen?

There Are No Sound Moral Arguments Against Performance-Enhancing Drugs - 0 views

    This article offered a new perspective on the controversy of performance enhancing drugs. It is definitely and opinion piece, but it does present a constructive ethics argument against the use of PEDs. As an athlete it offered valid insight to the culture of sports and the meaning behind competition. What are PED place in our daily lives? What is the place of ethics in sports? Is it about the "show" or the integrity of sport?

    "Patiently respond that, for Ms. Cyrus, twerking is a brazenly cynical act of cultural appropriation being passed off as a rebellious reclamation of her sexuality after a childhood in the Disneyfied spotlight, but, in the end, who are we really to judge? " This sentence just summed up everything I feel about Miley Cyrus

    I find this article pretty funny, especially since my grandma asked me just yesterday about twerking. She probably would have had no idea what twerking was if the New York Times hadn't written an article about how to explain it, which ironically parents are far more likely to read than their kids.
  • Bella Levaggi on 03 Sep 13
     
    This is a well-written, well-executed satirical piece that does an effective job of highlighting what I believe are the actual problematic aspects to Miley's twerking (the cultural appropriation rather than her right to display her sexuality as she saw fit, even if one doesn't personally find it attractive), while also offering humor to make it less pedantic. This medium hopefully makes it easier for old straight white guys to process the incident.
  • Sarah Asch on 04 Sep 13
     
    I think this is a very important article to publish in response to the VMA twerking media boom because it takes the focus off of Miley Cyrus but it doesn't try to ignore her involvement. It's true: we are not to judge. This is not the first or the last time that a child star has done something that could be perceived as an attempt to gain media attention or to throw off an image they created in their early acting. This moves away from comments like "Miley Cyrus needs to keep her tongue in her mouth," and towards that relatable comic episode that we have all experienced when our parents ask us about things that all teenagers know and that parents can't seem to figure out--like a meme.
  • Jordan B on 25 Sep 13
     
    I think this article is extremely well written and effectively and intelligently points out the motivations for and problems with Miley Cyrus' twerking debacle. The medium puts it in a form that many adults and younger generations will understand, "the Talk" but also gives the problematic aspects of Cyrus' performance due credit. It's entertaining but not offensive and the author clearly knows what he's talking about.
  • Meg Weiss on 28 Oct 13
     
    First of all, content wise, I completely agree with Mae. As far as the writing style goes, I love that the writer created a role reversal between a teen and their parents. Their writing made it seem to a helpful parenting book, preparing parents with responses and reactions when their child comes up to them and asks where babies come from. It was comical, but also brought up some good points/opinions.
