Rebecca Black - Friday


Many, if not all, of you are familiar with the song, Friday, that shocked the youTube world a few months ago. This video became very famous, very quickly, which leads to the question, how has today's society changed to the point where literally anyone can buy or create fame? What does today's society view as entertainment, and is extremely poor quality media more entertaining than mildly good videos and songs? Also, how does Rebecca Black represent the common teenager in today's society?

Ohio Safari

http://abcnews.go.com/US/animals-loose-ohio-town-lockdown/story?id=14767017
Here are some things to think about as you watch the video and reflect after:
What feelings do the pictures of the animals evoke? What could drive anyone to want to own upwards of 50 animals? Was it a good idea to shoot the animals rather than have them tranquilized? Finally, what do you believe can be done to prevent this from ever happening in Ohio again?

Awkward Penguin: Why is it so awesome??

See http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/socially-awkward-penguin...

The socially awkward penguin is a very popular online meme... but why??

Why is it a penguin? Why is it a blue background? Why is the penguin looking to the left? Why is it on a square picture? Why don't I begin any of these questions differently? Why is awkwardness funny?

All of these questions have important philosophical significance.
