*THE TITLE OF THIS POST WAS CENSORED. WE ARE SORRY FOR THE INCONVENIENCE*

Let me start by saying that I love Family Guy. Having two days of class devoted to watching both Family Guy and Robot Chicken was wonderful. I thoroughly enjoy watching both satires and parodies and think that you couldn't have made better choices. The Family Guy episode addressed such a great issue. Why do we need to focus on making everyone happy when that is clearly impossible. It's not like Family Guy singles anyone one person out and continually mocks them, instead they make fun of almost everyone and every walk of life. Everyone has flaws and it's impossible to make everyone happy. So to them I say, "Get over it! Stop being offended over the dumbest things!" Unfortunately in our oh-so politically correct world, we can't exactly say the things that we want or the things that everyone is thinking. However, this is just me venting on something that almost definitely won't change. I could be wrong and I could be the only one who thinks like this, but I doubt it. Oh well.

Debate-etabeD

Needless to say, I had a lot of fun during the debate. When my group members asked me to be the spokes person, I was honestly quite flattered. I see myself as a goofy person who just wants to have fun and make people laugh while doing it, so for them to choose me made me very happy. I figured if they wanted me to be the first and last speaker, I would try to make them laugh as well as throw some big words around. Which I do believe I did. Overall, I think our group just had a lot of fun with the project. Personally, I have never been in a debate situation before so doing this activity was fun and exciting. The groups main goal was just to present our key ideas and not worry too much on winning. However, it was nice when we did in fact win.

Superphrase

Without a doubt, I would love to play a game of Catchphrase with the man of steel himself, Superman. Superman is pretty much my favorite super hero of all time and I think it would make my universe if I could play a game of Catchphrase with him. Superman may be an alien from another world, but since he has been here, he has developed an unrivaled love for humanity rivaled by no one else. The fact that he dedicates his life to protecting people is quite noble. This endless toil to keep humans safe is precisely the reason I believe he deserves a short break with a quick game of Catchphrase. You may be asking yourself, "what's so special about Catchphrase?" I can simply reply, "it's my favorite game of all time." What's not to like? You can play with 2 people or a whole group of friends, it can be played anywhere at anytime, and the rules are quite simple to understand and pick up. It takes a minute to learn and a lifetime to master (although that is the Othello board game tag line, I still think it's fitting.)

Your a delivery guy...you don't even work here.

This commercial was paid for by careerbuilder.com.

Of all the commercials that aired during the Super Bowl, this was my favorite. I thought it was so funny watching grown men dressed up in office supply armor outfits duke it out in the middle of the jungle. Seeing them with binders on their heads and computer parts all over their body was so humorous. And the idea that grown men would be fighting for a promotion in the middle of the forest looking so ridiculous was absurdly hilarious. Also, for a commercial, the camera shots were very cinematic. With a shaky, unsure nature, the camera man was able to make it seem like this was actually an intense battle that was happening in the middle of the woods. I thoroughly enjoyed this commercial along with the beard comb over, but that's another blog I suppose. Let me know which was your favorite.
