Team Bella or Team Katniss? It’s Not Even Close

The Hunger Games series -- about a girl taken from home to participate in annual games which will result in almost certain death -- have been called the “new Twilight.” Both of these movie franchises come from best selling books aimed at teenagers, both have female lead characters, both have love triangles, and both have parents wrangling with suitability for their kids. However, I said no to Twilight and yes to Hunger Games for my kids, and here’s why. First, our culture needs more … [Read more...]

Nobody wakes up in the morning and says, "What should I do today? What about getting completely naked and take a walk in broad daylight?" So, I'm not sure what caused this, but the maker of the viral sensation of the Kony 2012 video (which Steve Haas wrote about last week) apparently had some sort of meltdown. According to eye witnesses (and a few unfortunate camera phone videos), Jason Russell was: "spewing out f-bombs and screaming about the iPhone, its digital assistant, Siri, and … [Read more...]
