The Majority Report with Sam Seder The Majority Report is a daily progressive podcast hosted by Sam Seder. The show is divided into two sections - one section dedicated to guests and another called the "fun half." The show focuses on current events and political affairs. While the show is very educational (guests are usually professors or journalists), the show is rife with comedy due to the ridiculousness of our politics. Imagine if Jon Stewart turned The Daily Show into a podcast. This show could only work as a podcast for a couple of reasons. One is that it is a very long show.

It is brilliant marketing to pretend that these characters are real people. The reaction in the comment section mostly consists of fans of the band, so the response is going to be positive and the 153,033 likes prove that. Deadpool While Deadpool is a property and not a

Why 1984 won't be like 1984 This Super Bowl ad started everything for Apple, and more impressively, Apple never shows the product that they are selling. The commercial is inspired by George Orwell's famous book 1984 . The video is of the character "Big Brother" giving a speech to an unemotional, obsequious crowd via television. Big Brother is the leader of this dystopic society and wants uniformity amongst everyone. However, a person, dressed differently from everyone else in the group, is running with a sledgehammer towards the screen that Big Brother is being projected on. During her dash toward the screen, she is being chased by the "Thought Police." The runner gets close enough to Big Brother, so she stops running. She then throws the sledgehammer at the screen which destroys it and ends the control Big Brother had over the crowd. After this, the narrator reads off the screen saying "On January 24th, Apple Computer will introduce Macintosh. And
