The comedy world has been hosting roasts since the New York Friars' Club started them in the 1920s. A roast is an event where a person, the guest of honor, sits back as comedians insult them, tell stories about them, and sometimes praise them. In any case, it's usually embarrassing for the "roasted" party, but [...] What do Twitter, Foursquare and Google have to say about Facebook? College Humor decided to enlist Gilbert Gottfried, Penn Jillette and Lisa Lampane… We at _Mashable_ get our fair share of questionable pitches, but we're just grateful we don't have to sit across a desk from these guys. F… College Humor gets it exactly right. This is definitely what would have happened if LeBron James stared in Space Jam. Taz would mess him up. College Humor made a video showing what it would've been like if LeBron James, not Michael Jordan, had been in the movie Space Jam.

The theme of his talk, John reports, was loosely based on D'Souza's first post-9/11 book, _What's So Great About America_. The title of the book, incidentally, is a statement, not a question. The book stands in marked contrast with D'Souza's second post 9/11 book, _The Enemy at Home: The Cultural Left and Its Responsibility for 9/11_. The latter not only contrasts with _WSGAA_, it is also one of the worst books I've ever read. It's not just bad in the usual ways, however, it is also deeply dishonest. I wrote about _The Enemy at Home_ at some length in the New Criterion essay "D'Souza goes native" (subscribers only) and in one of the comments on D'Souza's four-part response to his critics. D'Souza's response to his critics is immortalized in the paperback edition of _The Enemy at Home_. NRO collected comments on D'Souza's response to his critics under the heading "The enemy D'Souza knows" and separately posted Victor Davis Hanson's comment as the column "The mind of Mr. D'Souza." D'Souza framed the _The Enemy at Home_ on a thesis that, he acknowledged, would "seem startling ... What if your search engine yawned when you typed in a query?

With equal doses of humor and humility, the outspoken Chicago White Sox manager embraced the honor at the sold-out event that benefits the March of Dimes. "You are only as good as your players are. If your players are good, you win championships. If your players are not playing the way they should be playing, you get fired," Guillen said with a laugh. Before heading off to Arizona for the start of spring training, Guillen congratulated the Blackhawks on their 2010 Stanley Cup championship and added: "The best picture I have...you know, I have pictures with the (2005 World Series) trophy and with my kids. When the Cubs and the White Sox....we took a picture with the Blackhawks (posed around the pitching mound at Wrigley Field last June) before the (Cubs-Sox) game.That, to me, was one of the most amazing things that ever happened to me here in Chicago.The Blackhawks brought people together." Guillen also took time to praise Cubs All-Star centerfielder Marlon Byrd, who received the "Cub of the Year ... DENVER, Colo.

His viral hit 'The Duck Song' has over 20 million YouTube views. I love it when I find a great idea that has been around for years but has escaped my discovery. I found one this morning. Have you heard of, or been to, a TEDx conference? Started in 2006 as a single conference at which people discussed technology, entertainment, and design in fun ways, the idea has grown by leaps and bounds. This year, so far, 531 TEDx events have been held around the world and 750 more are planned. Phenomenal. Stephanie Rosenbloom wrote about TEDx for The New York Times: "There are TEDx talks about math curriculums, health care and mastering the work-life balance. Often, they capture the local flavor of the city in which they are held.... They can be gatherings of more than 1,000 people, or a few friends in a sparse room. But as is the case with TED, the most powerful events use multimedia, humor and audience interaction to make lectures about serious topics inspiring and easy to grasp." Best of all, they're free. This is the perfect kind of event to organize at a college or university in your own town. What would you discuss? How many people do you think would come? My wheels are turning!

Permalink | Comment | Email this I've been asked this question a lot in the past week: "Why haven't you written about the female student at Duke who rated her sexual partners in a PowerPoint 'mock' thesis?" I waited because my preference is to focus on the reactions that have popped up in the mainstream media and to look at the deeper issues raised. I'm not so sure this was simply just a light-hearted account of a woman bedding down a long list of Duke jocks and lacrosse players and enjoying herself. If the story has somehow escaped your notice, the _New York Times_ covered it last Thursday. They also mentioned that on Jezebel, one of the two websites that broke the story, an editor from Harper Collins was interested in contacting Karen Owen, the 22-year-old recent Duke graduate behind the 'thesis.' (Deadspin was the other site, and there a movie producer and an agent from William Morris reached out to her.) They're fascinated by the prurient details and the table-turning theme of a woman having 'no attachment' sex and rating her partners without hesitation or regret...like many men do. This was allegedly a private joke Own shared with three friends, never intending it to be seen beyond the group. Jezebel describes it as "a young woman laughing about and celebrating her own sex life." The media sees it as an irresistible combination of titillation, an in-your- face admission that women can be as casual about sex as men, role reversal, and perceived female empowerment. Some of those themes were touched upon during a segment on NBC's TODAY show. According to psychologist Judith Sills, "She acted not like the classic victim when guys do this traditionally, but like the aggressor. She had high risk no- attachment sex, she is comfortable with it, then she bragged about it -- a traditional gender-bending behavior." Co-host Meredith Viera brought up the fact that Owen has become a hero to many women for turning the tables and objectifying the other sex.  Sills' response was that it resonates with women because these men got a taste of what women typically experience: "This is what it feels like, and you know what? It doesn't feel so bad to be on the aggressor side." Dan Abrams, NBC's chief legal analyst, stated, "From a legal perspective, if it had been a man who had written this about a number of women, it's more likely there'd be a number of lawsuits...because of the societal differences." Sills notes the shock value is what makes the story compelling: "Young women do this? They get drunk and think, 'I wonder if I can have a piece of him,' and then they go home and tell their girlfriends. And they're not embarrassed or shocked. That really takes us aback." When Vanity Fair covered it in their daily blog, one reader wrote: > Big deal. Crudely bragging about one's sexual exploits is nothing new, especially for Joe and Jane College. A more recent development is the pseudo- intellectual treatment of whoring around: a phenomenon for which we can be grateful to "academic feminism." The sexual exploits of twentysomething women is the flavor of the month in the publishing and online world; editors can't seem to get enough confessional stories from female writers. But is this merely another step on the path to liberation and gender equality? Or  a smiley face slapped on top of a darker issue -- a tale being spun as a celebration which glosses over several elements of possible violation? At the Date Safe Project, Mike Domitrz mines this theme: > [A]lmost all of the discussion is missing one important point: > > A RAPE appears to be described in her PowerPoint presentation. > > One of the sexual encounters she writes about is when she is "blacked out." Because she has no memory, she could have been passed out or blacked out. Either way, she was incapable of giving consent to sexual activity. She is almost positive they had sex based on the her body [sic] (including the many bruises she found from what she assumes was very "aggressive" sex).... > > If you read the PowerPoint presentation, you will notice MANY of the encounters appear to be alcohol facilitated. > > Why do you think no one is talking about at least one potential sexual assault in this PowerPoint presentation? Do you think people have no compassion for her because she treated sex like a season of "American Idol" (scoring the contestants in various categories)? She is NOT the first. She is simply the first FEMALE to gain public attention from doing so. > > As Wendy Murphy has pointed out, the former website JuicyCampus had many, many examples of males doing exactly what the female at Duke was doing. At the time of JuicyCampus, many in society DID NOT seem to feel the women being "scored" or "rated" by the males breached legal privacy rights. When males were doing it, many people defended the behavior as "freedom of speech." The 'Wendy Murphy' Domitrz refers to is the noted civil rights attorney who filed a ground-breaking complaint involving sexual harassment and enforcement of Title IX. As reported by SecurityOnCampus.org in August 2009: > Schools have the same obligation to respond to sexual harassment in cyberspace that they have when the harassment occurs in the classroom - according to a first of it's kind ruling this month from the U.S. Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights (OCR). > > "This means that sexual harassment, such as the vile behavior we've all heard about that takes place on websites like juicycampus.com, is forbidden under Title IX even though it doesn't technically occur 'on campus'", said noted civil-rights attorney Wendy Murphy.  Murphy who brought the complaint earlier this year on behalf of a sexual assault victim attending college in the northeast who had been subjected to literally hundreds of sexually explicit and sexist comments on the now closed gossip site. > > Title IX requires gender equity in all educational programs that receive federal funding. Among other things, gender equity means that schools and colleges must take "prompt and equitable" and "effective" steps to eliminate sexual harassment on campus. This standard has long been interpreted to include things like sexually explicit, sexist and offensive comments made in a classroom or physically posted on campus, but OCR told Murphy this is the first instance of these rules being applied to statements and posts made in a public forum in cyberspace. If one or more of the sexual encounters Owen describes involved rape, it's certainly disturbing but unfortunately not unusual. Female college students are significantly more likely to be victims of rape or sexual assault than women of the same age group in the general population. It's estimated that 1 in 5 women attending college will be a victim of rape or attempted rape by the time she graduates. The way Owen has written the piece downplays any suggestion of rape, although Domitrz points out that sexual assault was likely involved. As Jezebel chronicles it: > With one subject, the author blacked out and doesn't remember having sex, but doesn't seem troubled, by her own account....Overall, very little regret and lots of good humor. What's particularly troublesome are the reactions to the "F*** List" as it's being labeled. For years, men have engaged in this behavior and it's been accepted as 'boys will be boys.' Perhaps it is empowering for women to enjoy casual sex and compare notes -- after all, _Sex and the City_ built a successful TV series and two mediocre films on this premise. But _Sex and the City_ didn't include blackout scenes or "many bruises" from aggressive sex. There is nothing empowering about sex that may border on rape, that takes place when a woman is too drunk to stand up or push away a man so intent on sex that he doesn't care if his partner is consenting or even conscious. That's nothing to brag about. 'Girls can be girls' and have sex with as many partners as they choose, enjoy themselves and take pleasure in their own expression of sexuality and aggressiveness, and talk about it with as many friends as they're comfortable with. But I'd sooner celebrate a woman's sexual conquests undertaken stone cold sober and with great deliberation than alcohol-fueled encounters that may thrust her into situations that can get out of hand, endanger her, or result in outright rape. We aren't so far removed from the old days of "she's asking for it" that we can afford to be casual about it. If we're really going to own our sexuality in as straightforward a manner as men do, and be as unabashed in pursuing sexual conquests and reveling in our exploits, let's do it with clear heads and focused intentionality and no mixed messages. Whether it's a 'thesis' of Karen Owen's devising or any other 'notch on my belt' style tally of men, there's no room for rape on any woman's list. **Related articles:** * Rape on Campus and 'Blaming the Victim' * Double Standards of Writing About Your Sex Life * What Does Title IX Have to do with Sexual Harassment?
