This is what nationwide cuts in grade school education budgets get us… laid off teachers, disbanding of athletic programs, and Brian De Palma’s Scarface as the subject of a school play?! Whatever happened to Shakespeare? Neil Simon? Mamet anyone? Scarface School Play – Watch more Funny Videos
Before teenagers looked to TV, Facebook, and Twitter they had to rely on educational film strips to tell them what to do and how to behave. This one from 1947 entitled “Are You Popular” tackled the thorny question of teenage popularity. Some of the pearls of wisdom in this ten minute short: “No, girls who [...]
I’m glad there’s video for this one, because I wouldn’t have believed it. I was surprised because things like this usually occur in Florida. Well that’s unfair. The Florida teachers are usually schtupping their students (Debra Lafave, Stephanie Ragusa, Lisa Robyn Marinelli, etc). This was just a lap dance.

So I watched the movie Gremlins for the first time in about 20 years. Largely because nothing else was on and I had forgotten that Phoebe Cates was in it. Phoebe Cates makes my heart go pitter patter. I don’t really remember enjoying the film the first time I saw it, and its still disappointing. [...]
You wouldn’t know it from scanning your TV Guide, but the FCC mandates that local televisions stations air three hours a week of what is called E/I programming. The E/I stands for Educational and Informational programming. The E/I mandate stems from the Children’s Television Act of 1990. Congress figured that if broadcasters were using publicly [...]
