"In 1986, pundits laughed at—not with—the race comedy 'Soul Man,' about a white college student who performs a Black Like Me charade to get into Harvard Law School. The film’s emphasis on spotlighting, then upending, racial stereotypes was widely misread as improbable, unnecessary, and 'racist.' Yet two years later, in 1988, Barack Obama entered Harvard Law School, and the rest is history."
Seriously, folks, you have to read this.

The future is here

It seems there will never be an end to this racial divide and the more people talk about it the worse matters always become. Sad but true. At least Harvard is still putting out some quality people.

Downey plays one of a team
Thu, 08/27/2009 - 00:42 — HankfreidDowney plays one of a team of self-indulgent stars cast in the modern equivalent of Apocalypse Now testking 000-965. Stiller plays an action hero who has just adopted a baby from Asia but worries that ”all the good ones are gone testking 000-973.” Black portrays a comedian known for performing multiple roles in a single film — his latest is called The Fatties: Fart 2. But when the film’s director (Steve Coogan) and writer (Nick Nolte) get fed up with their prima donna cast, they drop them into the jungle to fend for themselves testking 000-974. The actors think they’re doing some sort of full-immersion filmmaking, but the danger they’re in is very real.
