Banksy Tags 'The Simpsons'
By Dana Chivvis - AOL News(Oct. 11) -- UPDATE, 5:13 p.m. Fox has removed Banksy's opening sequence from YouTube, according to TechCrunch. Street artist Banksy has created a name for himself by leaving his mark in unexpected places. Sunday night, the surprise locale was the title sequence of "The Simpsons," which under his direction took a dark turn into a sweatshop where hordes of workers, including child laborers, pen Simpsons animation sequences, stuff Bart Simpson dolls with kitten fur and punch holes in Simpsons DVDs using the horn of a chained and dying unicorn. (Watch it below.) The common response to the ...
Yabba Dabba Doo! 'The Flintstones' Turns 50
By Chris Epting - AOL News
(Sept. 30) -- Everyone's favorite modern Stone Age family and friends are celebrating their golden anniversary. "The Flintstones," America's first prime-time animated sitcom, first aired on ABC-TV on Sept. 30, 1960. For six years, the show almost everyone thought was an animated imitation of "The Honeymooners" entertained not just kids, but primarily adults. And that was the point of the Hanna-Barbera production -- to create a more adult-styled cartoon. It's a holiday so dear to so many that it has been celebrated with a "Google Doodle" on the search site's homepage. Everett Collection If ...
Nine Years After: Not Long Enough to Heal Our Festered Wounds
By Andrew Cohen - Politics DailyNine years to the day after Pearl Harbor, American soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines were fighting and dying in Korea -- a conflict often obscured between the shine of World War II and the shadow of Vietnam. Meanwhile, back home on Dec. 7, 1950, the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals was affirming the perjury conviction of suspected communist Alger Hiss, further fueling the fire that Sen. Joseph McCarthy had just months earlier so cynically had begun to stoke. Exactly nine years after the Japanese swooped in on airplanes and destroyed our Hawaiian naval base, America was a country at war, a ...
Cracked Magazine No Longer a Joke (or a Magazine) And Funnier Than Ever
By David Moye - AOL News(June 17) -- Thirty years ago, Cracked magazine was something very bad for a humor publication: A joke; an obviously inferior rip-off to the more sophisticated and much funnier Mad magazine. The magazine started in 1958 and for most of its run, its articles tended toward cheesy movie spoofs and stories with titles like "What If The Fonz Was A 'Star Wars' Character?'" The Mad rip-offs didn't end there. Instead of nebbishy cover boy Alfred E. Neuman, Cracked had janitor (and Beck lookalike) Sylvester P. Smythe. Cracked.com The magazine formerly known as Cracked has reinvented itself and ...
Sarah Palin: 'Family Guy' Cartoon Was a 'Kick in the Gut'
By Tom Diemer - Politics DailyIt's only a cartoon, but still . . . Sarah Palin is angry at Fox Broadcasting Co. because its saucy cartoon show "Family Guy" portrayed a teenage girl with Down syndrome telling another character that her mom is the former governor of Alaska. A song and dance routine followed, with language ridiculing people with disabilities, CNN said. Palin, the former Alaska governor and 2008 Republican vice presidential candidate, has a 22-month-old son with Down syndrome. She said she was too ticked off to respond personally --"felt like another kick in the gut," she said -- so on Palin's Facebook page ...
CBS News Cites 'Family Guy' Dog in Marijuana Report
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyI would really love to get some of what this CBS reporter was smoking:(CBS) On yesterday's episode of Fox's animated sitcom "Family Guy," one of the main characters - a dog named Brian - is arrested for possession of marijuana. He subsequently goes on a mission to legalize the drug, at one point earnestly arguing that it is only outlawed because William Randolph Hearst wanted to keep hemp production from hurting his paper interests in the 1930s. Yes, the argument was articulated by an animated dog. And yes, the response from one of the other characters was, well, a fart. But still: Last ...
