Current Event - Cosmo Kramer - The Race Man?


- Former television star Michael Richards, or most commonly known as playing Cosmo Kramer, on the hit show Seinfeld. -

On November 19, 2006 Michael was doing stand up at a local comedy club named The Laugh Factory. While he was there he was being antagonized by the audience, some of the people saying, "You're a wash up, your only hit show was Seinfeld, and that's it!" After a while of this, Michael started to say the N word, word after word. This gave people suspision that he was a racist, and people started to leave the crowd. As most people know, in the show Seinfeld, Michael played an unemployed-ladies man who is quarky and funny. But in reality, it seems that he is exactly the oppisite.

In a later date, Richard's apologized on The David Letterman Show, while Jerry Seinfeld was also there. It seems now that this is a new trend for celebrities, such as Mel Gibson and Arnold Schwarzenegger. It seems like it is a trend that should stop, but it seem's that only time will tell if it will.

Current Event - Current Death Of Professional Football Player Shock's The Nation.

- Darrent Williams - Former Bronco's Corner Back, shot dead from a fatal wound to the neck.

Over the course of the last two years, three Professional Football players have been shot. First, Dallas Cowboy Saftey, Keith Davis, who was shot in the head and in the thigh. Second, San Diego Charger Linebacker Steve Foley, who was shot three times, and finally Darrent Williams, shot in the neck once.

This may be saying something to people, such as the family and friends of these people, but why? Why did these people get shot. It seems like they are just pointless shootings, while Darrent Williams was the only one dead out of the three, he was the first active NFL player to die since Thomas Herrion, who died on the football field in 2005. While his team morned and wore a pin saying his number during the games, it still seems like this is a never ending thing, and will keep going on, but until the next shooting, it seems like all of the Professional Football players, are safe.

The Truman Show - Does It Prove A Point?


-The Fiction-
The Truman Show, a critically oclamied movie, for a critically oclamied actor...Is this movie convincing the world that every day life is surrounded by media.

In the movie, there is a man named Truman Burbank who is trapped inside a fake world and does not know it. He is exploited as a reality television character, but he doesn't know it.

In the movie, people are lying, and exploiting Truman for merchandise sales. But the real qestion is, Could this happen to any one, is this a real thing, are we being controlled?

-The Reality-
In real life, it does seem that every one is exploited for media. The actor in the movie, Jim Carey, seems to be exploited, by movie companys using him for references for the famous movies that they produced. But it seems that this could actually be a reality to some people, such as actors and actresses whos lives run around the media. Could this be real, could this be life as some one knows it, It seems not, but who knows, anything is possible...
