One of the most amusing spectacles this election season has been watching highly paid TV hosts embrace their inner Woody Guthrie and rediscover the workin’ man. What do blue-collar Americans want? Can they save Hillary? Is Obama out of touch with them? The irony is that TV networks have been out of touch with the working class for years. Blue-collar TV characters used to be routine: Ralph Kramden, Fred Sanford, Laverne and Shirley.

When word got out that the Danish government was helping to fund Jens Jørgen Thorsen’s blasphemous new film The Love Affairs of Jesus Christ, the Young Christians mobilized a protest march of 5,000 people through the streets of Copenhagen.

With graphic scenes reminiscent of a Quentin Tarantino film or slash horror and chainsaws that would make serial killers jealous, the video directed by Rihanna and Megaforce will no doubt spark a flood of controversy. After a civilized opening featuring a wealthy but doomed woman, the action quickly took a very dark turn when the singer exited a hotel room with a huge case and a fluffy Pomeranian in tow. A naked blonde is soon seen swinging upside down in a warehouse as Rihanna casually looks on with a cigarette keeping her busy.

While watching Survivor is loads of fun, living the experience is decidedly not as enjoyable. From the small rations of food to the bugs, diarrhea, and thunderstorms, spending 39 days on a faraway island isn't how most people would want to spend their time. Unless, of course, you had the chance to win a very large chunk of money at the end of it all. What do you get for winning Survivor?

Toward the end of the Cold War, no corner of the Soviet Union was bloodier than the South Caucasus, and, today, it’s on the verge of exploding again.
