Mzqbit's Random Blog Awards (First ever!)


mzqbit's random blog awards highlights some particularly interesting posts. The idea is to give everyone a chance to focus on some posts that could generate some good debate, and to celebrate a post well-posted.

There is also an assignment attached to the awards. Please comment on at least TWO of these posts. They are worth your while!

Congratulations to this week's winners!

1. Enigma's "Little Miss Sunshine" (Movie Review)

This was a good read, with lots of pictures and and a great review. She goes beyond just explaining why she liked the movie by explaining why it was different, worth taking about, etc.

2. Kise's "Double Standard?" (Question) "Cheap Advertising" (Advertising)A very interesting post about double standards in journalism between men and women. She brings up some very thoughtful points.

Kise also looks at a shocking advertising trend in a sleasy diet companies portfolio.

3. Sensgirl's "Is Television Going too Far?" (Outraged)Read this for a commentary about where the line of appropriateness/censorship lies. I thought this post could lead to a really interesting debate, so voice your opinion on Sensgirl's comments.

4. Spade's "Sunday, March 25th - about rap music"
I'd like everyone to have a look at this post because you can see that Spade is trying to generate a debate in his comments. The topic is quite controversial - is rap music glamorizing gangsta life? Notice how he ends his post with a question.

5. Sally Spaghetti's "The Search for the Next Pussy Cat Doll" (Outraged)This is a good example of how just watching television can lead you to a good post. Be on the look out for things that you think are wrong/ disturbing/ stupid on television.
