A link to Charlie Brooker's Gameswipe.

After browsing through last night's late-night programming, I came across Charlie Brooker's newest series: Gameswipe (which I wasn't even aware of until last night). Here's the link: http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00n1j8q/Charlie_Brookers_Gameswipe/

A funny and insightful video on the 'N' word.

http://www.milkandcookies.com/link/59858/detail/

The word nigger is not offensive in and of itself - it depends on the context in which it's being used. However, the historial context of the word does rouse some intense emotion from black people. Like Richard Pyror said: "People use the word nigger to describe their own wretchedness."

The word nigger - when placed inside a historical context - means a lazy, no good, untrustworthy black person - and it often encompasses criminal acts, aswell. Nowadays, though, young people throw it around colloquially.

My point is this: shouldn't ignorant, stupid people be allowed to use the word? If it's banned, how will we be able to identify these racist morons and subject them to intense ridicule?

Stopping someone who wants to use the word from using the word will only allow them to savour their ignorance and hatred for other occasions (it could in fact allow them to intensify their feelings for more personal occasions and cause them to commit violent acts against black people).

No word should be banned. People should be educated on the usages of certain words and why certain words shouldn't be uttered; they should not be prevented from being allowed to say them. Let ignorant people be ignorant - that way, we can have more fun laughing at them for the insensitive pricks they are.

TNT.

The following link leads to a page on London's art scene. Some of the words have been distilled from my feature; the others from staff writer Daniel Landon. It's nothing to brag about, but it's all the professional work I have on my resumé!

Facebook group.

I created an atheistic Facebook group which I think far surpasses most others available in its scope and information. You can join here: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=120019058170&ref=ts

Religulous.

The following is a link to Bill Maher's 'Religulous' (2008) - a feature documentary on the irrationality of religious belief. Enjoy it.
