A handful of headlines on Hump Day…
- Is Lady Gaga a feminist? Slate explores the woman they call “something of an anomaly: a pretentious pop starlet. To hear her tell it, she isn’t the anonymous hookup facilitator you might assume from her robotically decadent techno hits but, rather, a savvy media manipulator engaged in an elaborate, Warholian pop-art project.”
- Jon Stewart expertly calls out CNN on their crappy Iran coverage.
- Also, CNN, I know you love your social media and all, but part of social media’s importance comes from the ability to speak truth to power. For instance, when you air an hour-long interview with vapid reality show famewhores and all of the live tweeting is about how they are both annoying and unrelated to Iran. For those keeping track, Larry King will be interviewing the Jonas Brothers tonight.
- It’s nice to know that even if the world seems to be going crazy around you, Sesame Street is still awesome.
