Sunday, April 24th, 2005“Porn is just another form of entertainment now.” At least, that’s what the L.A. Times apparently would have you believe. Check out this sobering article Rudy references about S-E-X.
Something’s Happenin’ Here
Wednesday, March 16th, 2005Vibe Magazine on our friends at Youth Explosion: “Rap meets religion at the Christ Tabernacle in Queens, where they bring the ruckus as much as they repent.” Check out the six page photo spread here. What was that I heard about every knee bowing, and every tongue confessing?
Should this be banned?
Thursday, March 10th, 2005I wouldn’t want Judah to see this, but should it be banned totally from U.S. airwaves? It communicates a jarring message jarringly. Apparently it has been censored by the networks.mn casinos albqgambling age 18 wisconsincleveland in for age ohio casinosamerican online friendly casinosaddiction michigan treatment gamblingfeathers 7 or casinocasino amazon royalegambling card credit merchant account [...]
ABC – Always Been Credible?
Thursday, March 10th, 2005Nightline did this great show on Tuesday re. the rising influence of bloggers. It’s just a bit bizarre to hear that my little corner of the blogosphere is somehow part of a larger whole that’s reshaping the worlds of journalism, activism, policy, socializing, and so much more. But what was with the sanctimonious sign-off on [...]
Discipleship as Reality TV?
Saturday, March 5th, 2005As if throwing him on stage to preach to 10,000 people and then parading him in front of the media spotlight weren’t enough pressure for former Korn guitarist Brian Welch’s emerging faith, now he wants to “make TV history” by doing a so-called reality TV show to document his “life change.” Four months ago, Welch [...]
Murder made for prime time
Wednesday, February 9th, 2005Last week I posted a note about the disproportionate news coverage generated by a murder in the Lower East Side. This week’s Village Voice chronicles the story behind the story of how a seemingly unexceptional murder became front page news around the country. Race is undeniably part of the duFresne story. The randomness and location [...]
A fresh face, refreshing voice
Monday, February 7th, 2005One of Time’s 25 was a man named Brian McLaren. Although I’ve heard his name mentioned a couple times in the last few years, I had never read any of his books, heard him speak, or known much about his ministry. But after watching the clips from his appearance on Larry King last week, I’m [...]
Not bad for an 86 year-old man
Friday, February 4th, 2005Presumably in light of Time magazine’s recent list, Christianity Today is conducting an online poll of “the most influential evangelical.” No surprises here: Chuck Colson: 3% James Dobson: 17% Billy Graham: 53% Ted Haggard: 0% Bill Hybels: 1% Bishop T.D. Jakes: 6% Tim LaHaye: 2% Richard Land: 0% J.I. Packer: 3% Rick Warren: 10% John [...]

What do The Game, hip hop’s latest sensation, and Martha Stewart, America’s incarcerated domestic diva, have in common? Bankability. Based on a comeback. The Game’s debut album, the “most anticipated album of the year,” hit stores at number one on the charts. MTV attributes his success to “the unconditional street love he’s been given by [...]
“My friends are tastemakers”
Thursday, February 3rd, 2005Huh? Did you know the latest, greatest rage among marketers is to entice you to buy their brands by outfitting ordinary “cool kids” in them — not just athletes and celebrities anymore — for free? The NY Post calls it: a new kind of advertising phenomenon – one that goes beyond more established methods like [...]
