If you're having girl problems, I feel bad for ya son.

99 problems

This link is to a cover song done by the indie/alternative band Hugo of the song 99 problems originally done by Jay-Z. The band uses the cover hook from the original song while replacing the verses with their own lyrics. The songs meaning is changed in the remix. In the original, Jay-Z is singing about certain hardships that young African-Americans face in the ghettos of America. Obviously, a bunch of white guys would know very little about these things, especially seeing as they are from London. The song was recorded and released by Jay-Z, and is very much a tribute to the original.

Controversy in the super bowl

I watched the super bowl and honestly was quite disappointed with the selection of commercials this year. There were very few that made me smile, and even fewer that made me laugh. As for controversial advertisements, I failed to find any that I thought were outright vulgar. Obviously, Godaddy always toes the line with their scantily clad women, but they never go too far with it. The only other one that I can think of that was even remotely controversial would be Chrysler's advertisement featuring Clint Eastwood. I personally was not bothered by the commercial. However, this one had a lot of buzz about it on the internet.

POPculture

While this may be a bit of a stretch for a literacy related video, I think that Aubrey has something very important to say here. He talks about writing from personal experience which I think that sometimes we are afraid to do. We are always told in school to never use the word "I" in a paper unless that paper is a narative. However, in all literacy-related processes I think that it can be beneficial to write from a least bits and pieces of personal experience. For this reason, I respect what Aubrey writes because he writes what he knows. He doesn't draw on others experiences or research that he's done. He communicates what he knows through a literacy-related outlet that he has mastered. 

Hayles to the Victor

It is my personal opinion that the recent technology explosion is causing the youth of today to develop ADD or ADHD. This phenomenon is taking place due to all of the different directions one is able to take while being on the internet, or more affectionately known as the interWEB. When looking at a simple Wikipedia page, you cannot read more than two sentences without coming across five redirections to different web pages. In addition to this, even a simple task as watching television can take you in ten different directions over one span of commercials. When watching a big commercial show such as the Super Bowl, one can be told where to shop for shoes, what kind of shampoo to watch, where to get their next meal, and what kind of beer to drink all in under two minutes.
There is no stopping this phenomenon from taking place, so it is apparent that we has a society must learn to adapt to it.
