See The Chevy Volt Parody Ad That GM Probably Doesn’t Like

Yesterday we posted a story about a memo allegedly sent by GE Healthcare America to its employees. The memo was a corporate mandate explaining that company cars will be replaced by the Chevy Volt, and anyone who chooses to drive a gas-only car on company business will not be reimbursed for travel expenses. Today we offer a follow-up. A parody ad for the Volt titled, “Do You Smell Something?” It’s filled… Broadcasting platform : YouTube Source : The Blaze Discovery Date : 08/02/2012 00:23 Number of articles : 7

To be or not to be … a Muslim

Mark Martin is the Pennsylvania state court judge I referred to in two posts ( here and here ) yesterday — the jurist who, on sharia grounds, dismissed a harassment case against a Muslim man who assaulted an activist atheist whose “Zombie Mohammed” costume the assailant found insulting to Islam. I reported that Judge Martin is a convert to Islam, based on a published report corroborated by the audio… Broadcasting platform : YouTube Source : The Corner Discovery Date : 20/02/2012 00:42 Number of articles : 6

NPR’s Ombudsman Skips ‘Kill Whitey’ Jokes, But Worries About Old Clips of Jewish Jokes From 1970

On February 12 many NPR stations aired the show “Smiley & West” in which comedian-actor Garrett Morris caused peals of laughter from Tavis Smiley and Cornel West by joking about the small space between “hate Whitey” and “kill Whitey.” West also lectured about how police brutality on the “vanilla side of town” in New York would get condemnations from the White House. NPR ombudsman Edward Schumacher-Matos predictably told me on Twitter that this wasn’t in his critical purview, since it’s not produced by NPR, but by Public Radio International. But on February 23 , Schumacher-Matos devoted a post to charges of anti-black racism on “Fresh Air,” which is also not produced by NPR, but by Philadelpha affiliate WHYY. It was far less racially transgressive than Smiley & West. He claimed: “NPR distributes Fresh Air so it is NPR programming. PRI distributes Smiley's show so it is PRI programming.” On the February 8 “Fresh Air,” critic David Bianculli was recommending a DVD called “How to Be a Jewish Son,” which aired on “The David Susskind Show.”
