We Need A Haiku To Save Us: Spider-Man
Haiku's are sparingly used, and if they are it's usually some form of satire. The elegant simplicity of a haiku lends itself to mockery and bawdiness, which leaches the sincerity out of an ancient respected form of prose. My goal is to bring the Haiku back to legitimate literature circles, and what better what to do that then to focus on something near to me, and a huge part of our zeitgeist: Super Heroes. These titans are at their zenith of influential power right now, with their action grip clenched on the silver screen, and our hearts.

Does Black-ish Season 1 Stereotype African Americans?
Black-ish season one is like getting an MBA in Black-ish ideology. More than just Black culture, the issues of assimilation that Andre's family deal with are a part of every foreign culture's struggle to adapt to an ever changing society that tends to stereotype our differences. Ironically the battle to maintain identity, for Andre, is more often an individual and inward focused endeavor, than something that those around him see or feel.

Funniest 'South Park' Randy Marsh Scenes
We should all thank the divine forces that led Trey Parker and Matt Stone to decide to further develop some of the characters that weren’t so involved in first few seasons of South Park, because that decision brought us the funniest Randy Marsh scenes. Before this happened, Randy was just Stan’s dad and not much more, having only the occasional screen time without catching the attention of the viewers. Thankfully, the creators of South Park realized the potential in Randy’s character and he quickly became an integral part of this hilarious animated TV show. South Park is still airing, so even though we tried our best to choose some of the funniest South Park Randy Marsh scenes, there sure are many that we just couldn’t include since Randy is one of the funniest characters in the show.
