Media & Journalism - December 2006

It should have been episode 11 of series 3. My mates and I download it and watch it later in the week. It's usually available from Monday, straight after airing on Sunday but I've just tried to get it and there are no results for it! Also the most recent recap on the ABC website is episode 10...... Did ABC not air it for some reason last week?

I am writing a story for the yearbook. Our theme is unlocking the combination. Does anyone have any good ideas for our senior story. It should encompass the theme and talk about the past and future.
Heres how i have started

Michael Richards Not a Jew With Source
Please ask Mark Simone, who thought that Richards was Jewish, to
issue a statement on this and please do so yourself. Mr. Simone
erroneously stated several times on his Saturday Morning November
25th, 2006 WABC radio show that Richards was Jewish when in fact
Richards is not Jewish. Please click on
http://www.wabcradio.com/contactus.asp
to email Mark Simone, who is a very good person, but was misinformed
on this issue, and other WABC radio personalities about this issue,
etc.
Please also call WABC Radio and get on the air about this and other
issues at 1 800 848-WABC. And please call other talk shows around
the country about it, and other issues too.
Michael Richards is not a Jew.

As Cosmo Kramer in "Seinfeld," Richards played one on TV. But he
himself is not Jewish—not that there's anything wrong with that.

Richards lashed out a heckler at the Laugh Factory last Friday,
spitting out the "N" word without humor and with abandon. Audience
members booed, several walked out, then Richards himself walked off
stage.

The incident was caught on a cellphone camera and posted at the
TMZ.com Web site, where it ignited a firestorm of criticism against
Richards. Richards apologized on "The Late Show With David
Letterman" Monday night. "I was at a comedy club trying to do my
act, and I got heckled, and I took it badly and went into a rage,"
he said. "For me to be in a comedy club and flip out and say this
crap, I'm deeply, deeply sorry. I'm not a racist. That's what's so
insane about this."

Fellow comedians and fans have been quick to criticize Richards—and
misrepresent his religious background. Comedian Paul Rodriquez held
a press conference at the Laugh Factory, saying that Richards should
know better, because the Hollywood community defended Jews against
actor Mel Gibson's anti-Semitic tirades.

The implication was that Richards, a Jew, should not be launching
racist attacks. He shouldn't, but he also isn't Jewish.

"Someone needs to tell Rodriquez that Michael isn't a Jew," said a
television director who has known Richards for years. The two worked
together in 1980 on ABC's "Fridays" television show and have
remained in touch ever since.

According to sources familiar with Richards, the actor was raised
Catholic. A biography of him on the Wikipedia web site lists no
religion, but does say Richards is very involved in the Masons.

"Seinfeld" was Richards' first big break after a long and unlikely
rise to stardom.

According to Wikipedia, Richards was born in Culver City to William
Richards, an electrical engineer, and Phyllis (nee Nardozzi), a
medical records librarian. "Richards attended California Institute
of the Arts but received a bachelor's degree in drama from Evergreen
State College in 1975.

He was drafted during the Vietnam War and stationed in Germany , as
one of the co-directors of the V Corps Training Road Show. He
produced and directed shows dealing with race relations and drug
abuse. He then spent two years in the Army developing educational
skits and a couple more years `finding himself' at a commune in the
Santa Clara Mountains . He drove a bus and developed a stand-up
comedy act in 1979," according to the Web site.

In "Seinfeld," which aired from 1989-1998, Richards played Kramer, a
character based on show co-creator Larry David's former across-the-
hall neighbor, Kenny Kramer. The real Kramer is indeed of Jewish
heritage—not that there's anything wrong with that.

Richards did appear Sep. 14 at the Laugh Factory's evening of Jewish
comics, called, "The King Davids of Comedy." However, the management
made it clear at the time that Richards and the other major comic at
the event, Louis CK, were not part of that evening's themed show,
and that no photography would be permitted during their sets.

Following Richard's racist remarks, Laugh Factory owner Jamie Masada
posted this message on the company's Web site: "We do not support or
condone the inappropriate, hurtful and offensive comments that Mr.
Richards made on Friday night at the Laugh Factory.

"Mr. Richards was scheduled to appear on Saturday night and had
informed management of his intention to apologize for his hurtful
and unprofessional outburst from the previous night. He failed to do
so and disappointed us.

"We have made it clear that Mr. Richards is no longer welcomed here.
The Laugh Factory is a comedy club not a forum for personal
attacks."

Laugh Factory owner Masada is Jewish.

Confusion over Richards' heritage grew after the Anti-Defamation
League issued a press release Monday denouncing the actor's tirade.

"Richards' repeated use of the `n-word' and apparent reference to
lynching is offensive in any context. There is no excuse for such
insensitive and bigoted language. It has no place in a comedy club
and no place in America and must be clearly repudiated," the release
said.

"We hope Mr. Richards will now take a public stand against appeals
to racism and bigotry and publicly apologize for his poor judgment
in shouting them from the stage."

The release did not address Richard's own religion. In the past, the
ADL has regularly taken public stances against instances of racism
unrelated to anti-Semitism."

Not content with destroying the lives of every celebrities, it seem that now the media is intent in provoking the people.

As you may know...the wearing of the veil by muslim women as been on the political agenda in England...as it has been in France.

Now the British television will have a full veiled muslim woman deliver the alternative Christmas speech.

The message will reflect a year in which the wearing of religious clothing and symbols have "dominated the news agenda", said a Channel 4 spokesman.

No doubt...this is another victory for the muslims.
But what about the rest of us...the majority???

I read a Readers Digest article years ago and it featured this Poem.

The Optimist fell 12 stories,
And at each window bar
He called to his friends who were frightened below,
"Well, I'm alright so far!"

Does anyone know where its from or who wrote the Readers Digest article on it? It was by a lady who first heard the poem while helping out at an old peoples home. Then she related how it helped her later on in life.

How unique is this Canadian perspective of intermixing humour and politics? It seems we take it much father than most countries would...or what do you think?
