    • 308 Words
    • 2 Pages

    WHITE FAMOUS breaks many traditional television conventions to deliver an over the top but still on message story of a black comedian’s entry into the hearts of white America‚ with the ultimate goal to be “White Famous.” During his anti-hero’s journey he butts head with racial prejudice and Hollywood double standards. Kapinos traditionally writes about opulent and debauched Southern California with dry humor‚ CALIFORNICATION and LUCIFER. WHITE FAMOUS doesn’t quite stand up to Kapinos’ other works

Voltaire uses different characters to represent different ideologies and their reactions to events in the story to represent ways in which their ideologies fail to effectively solve problems; as a satirical strategy‚ Voltaire exaggerates different parties’ reactions and encourages the reader to laugh

    brushes with death are humorous‚ but Swift also uses them to reinforce a major focus of this section: just as Lilliputian affairs are ridiculous because of their smallness‚ human pretensions are ridiculous as well. Swift’s second major target for satire appears when Gulliver tries to show the Brobdingnagian king the greatness of England; he succeeds only in showing its corruption. While English civilization is more complex and more technologically advanced than Brobdingnag‚ a large portion of the

    Screw you guys‚ I’m going home Ever since 1997‚ South Park has revolutionized the cable TV scene as a profane and obscene program that isn’t afraid to mock religious‚ political‚ and cultural topics and not get away with at least offending somebody.
