With nine seasons completed and season 10 currently airing, Family Guy is not an unknown TV show. The show has undergone criticism for its constant cutaway scenes, political incorrectness, and underdeveloped plots.
By this time, all of us remember the landmark Supreme Court case Citizens United, where it was determined by a 5-4 vote that a corporation is considered a person when donating money to political campaigns, and that unlimited amounts could be donated to super PACs. Now, a kind of test is coming to the highest court in the land. In the past 20 years, there have been 120 lawsuits against corporations on a very specific issue: human rights violations.
It's refreshing to finally see female celebrities being heralded for their talents and not insulted for their size in a world that values physical appearance. Adele dominated the Grammys' by taking home six awards for her sophomore project, 21.
For those who haven't followed the story closely, Ryan Braun failed two separate drug tests that were administered in late October this past year.
The numbers from Family Guy's last few season premiers have a very unfortunate, but understandable trend. Season 10's premier, "Lottery Fever," had only 7.69 million U.S.
Nothing hurts more than seeing a young life filled with potential snuffed out. It happens entirely too often in an advanced society like ours, with motor vehicle accidents leading the causes of teenage deaths in the U.S. Dr. James Corasanti probably knows this fact all too well by this point.
The NHL proposed a new realignment that would put the teams back into four conferences. The proposed structure is very similar to the four-division set-up that was replaced with the current system in the 1998-99 season. However, the NHLPA denied the request by the league.
What would you do with a million bucks? By all accounts, if you're smart with investments you can live well for the rest of your life if you put it away, but many of us would probably buy ourselves a nice new car, or a big ass television. If there was a pie chart of what people would do with that much cash, most people would go for the "keep it" slice.
Like every year, certain movies, actors, actresses, etc., are favorites in each category. This year's Oscars has nine Best Picture Candidates, but the public only sees three that are in contention for the prize: The Artist, The Descendents, and Hugo. None of those films earn my vote. Don't misinterpret me, all three of these films are outstanding.
The Indianapolis Colts are on the verge of one of the most important offseason decisions in NFL history.
Last Tuesday night, girls lifted their shirts and exposed their breasts in an effort to win new ones. I wish I were kidding. That's right, this past Tuesday girls could have gone down to party on Chippewa and as a part of its 4th-annual Mardi Gras extravaganza, Club Bayou gave away a free boob job to the girl who collected the most pink beads.
Have you seen the hippies? You know, the color-melting, long-haired, dirty-jeaned, crazy-dancing, pot-smoking revelers who just got back from Phish? I must admit, with my current collection of tie-dyed Grateful Dead T-shirts, I'm quite suspect of the hippie title.
Imagine: a few members of a radical Christian group commit acts of terrorism. Let's say they're firebombing buildings and murdering some doctors who provide a service they disagree with. Now let us pretend that American police departments decide that the fact that these murderers and terrorists were Christian was significant.
Blood is dripping down their faces as they try to crawl through the sand. Shards of shrapnel grind against their skin as they try to claw over the dead bodies of their comrades, past blown-apart bodies and mutilated corpses.
He's back. Manny Ramirez signed a contract with the Oakland A's yesterday ending his one season retirement/time ducking his second performance enhancing drug suspension. One tearful "apology" on ESPN later and he's back with a new team. As someone who grew up a Red Sox fan, Manny was always one of my favorite players, but his act has grown old. Sure, the man had one of the sweetest swings in baseball history, and was a rare talent at the plate.
Unless you've been stuck in a time warp for the last month, you probably noticed that the price for a gallon of gas has been steadily climbing.
Some debates will never die. Like unholy vampires roaming the countryside, they continue to be reanimated and reused every single election cycle. A few are important issues that have difficult answers, like how best to run a global economy, how to tax people, and where to spend government funds most effectively.
If there's one thing the Republican Party has done really well the past few weeks, it's demonstrate to the rest of the world just what homophobic, misogynistic, sex-obsessed, self-righteous, morally-misguided wackos constitute its ranks.
Imagine for a moment that the immense amount of content generated for news sources was streamed into your brain constantly.
