During war time people despise the enemy at all cost, based on generalizations. The main focus of this entry is at the beginning of the video. The people who agree with the clerk associate the woman's attire with terrorism. They immediately separate her from being an American, because of her beliefs and clothing. They justify their behavior because of war. If the person looks like the enemy then they are the enemy according to the supporters of clerk. They have a set view of women who wear that type of clothing, and feel the need to distance themselves from them.

The real stars of 21
http://www.topsocialite.com/hollywood-feels-the-need-to-turn-asian-mit-genuises-into-pretty-white-people/
The story is amazing about a group of MIT students beating the system of blackjack in Las Vegas. Hollywood chose to change the name of the characters as well as their nationalities taking away a major part of the story. The image of asian people in the movie are that they are non innovative and cheap stealing from the casinos. They movie degrades asian people buy stealing from them, and then only showing the negative aspects of them throughout the movie. Also, brings up the issue as to why the asian actors chose to take those parts in the film. When they could of been the stars themselves.

News turned into Song
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hMtZfW2z9dw&feature=related
This is a very creative song as they autotune the voice along with a beat. Autotune news makes the claim that anything can be catchy and creative with production behind it. This video is the perfect example showing how a simple interview can be made into a successful itunes song without the actual star having talent. The piano scene is copy from The Hangover movie, remaking into a completely different sounding song.

The narration is from the view of tourettes guy son. He edits the video showing only the loud reactions. The captions are mainly the same words he uses throughout the video. The person does it to that make the viewer watch the video longer adding that element into it. He intends to make the video a comedy.

social hiphop
http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20101010/music_nm/us_media_videogames_rapstar
The article refers to hiphop as criminal because Lil Wayne is one of the key promotional faces.
This is what the author considers hip-hop,"new hip-hop classics such as Notorious B.I.G's "Big Poppa," Nelly's "Hot in Here" and Lil Wayne's "A Milli." Then, the article mentions this is what hip-hop is all about. There's more to hiphop than Lil Wayne and the article only mentions top40 radio classics calling that real hiphop. Then, mentions someone in Japan rapping to to the top40 songs as it being the worlds musical preference of hiphop. The article also mentions the game may not sell due to other karaoke games, and making the statement that hiphop in videogames is not a good investment.

3 types of Culture Jam
http://weburbanist.com/2007/10/08/culture-jamming-political-commercial-and-social-signs-of-our-times/
3types Commercial, Political, Social
This is a nice short breakdown as to what it is along with examples. Some of the examples presented in the site are illegal because they vandalize property. The stop sign and the person laying on the ground are not as severe as far as legal matters. They do their parts bringing awareness nonchalantly.

Time Zone
http://www.nndb.com/people/479/000024407/
"PiL managed to endure throughout the entirety of the 1980s -- although, after a second live album Live in Tokyo (1983) and a fourth studio effort This Is What You Want, This Is What You Get (1984), the only original member to still remain would be Lydon, his support musicians changing between nearly every successive release. The same year as the latter release, Lydon recorded World Destruction, a groundbreaking collaboration with hip-hop performer Afrika Bambaataa issued under the name Time Zone. As the decade progressed, PiL's sound developed along similarly danceable lines. The generically-packaged Album (1985) found Lydon adopting a more polished sound and enlisting the help of established industry names such as Bill Laswell, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Steve Vai and Ginger Baker; 1987's Happy embraced a dance-oriented approach fashioned with the production assistance of the Art of Noise's Gary Langan, while the 1989 release 9 moved the material even farther in this direction through the involvement of dance-pop producer Stephen Hague on many of the tracks. The band eventually returned to a rock sound with 1992's That What Is Not, but soon afterwards Lydon decided to suspend his involvement with the group in favor of other projects."
Time Zone aka. John Joseph Lydon aka. Johnny Rotten
Not only did Malcolm Mclaren have a role in hiphop Johnny Rotten did as well after the Sex Pistols. Johnny Rotten could not use his name when working with Afrika Bambaataa because Mclaren would not let him. Bambaataa was a major influence in the early stage of hiphop forming the might Zulu Nation. It is interesting to know not only did Mclaren play a role in hiphop but Rotten did as well.

drug dealers making the bare minimum
http://nortonbooks.typepad.com/everydaysociology/2008/06/the-economics-o.html
"The actual hourly wage earned by a gang’s foot soldier—the person on the street making the sales—ranged from $2.50 to $7.10 an hour (in 1995 dollars). That’s not much money at all. The gang leaders or “officers” did much better. They earned from $32 to $97 dollars an hour. These are data for one local gang. The central gang, which oversaw the local gangs much like a company would oversee its franchises, made substantially more money. As with a regular, legal corporation, the low-level workers of the gang did most of the work but the high-level members received most the pay"
We often think of the hollywood image of drug dealers making millions of dollars and living rockstar lifestyles. Most drug dealers able to get a real job do it for the popularity and adventure instead of the money. It is still an organized illegal business with guidelines and rules. If the rules are broken in this industry then the consequences are more severe. The real image of a drug dealer is a poor and tense worker instead of a flashy celebrity.
