...Daftendirekt.” Like labelmate Kanye’s sampling of “Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger,” Jackson adds nothing to this ten-year-old material, producing a song that survives on Daft Punk’s merits alone. The sampling is so blatant that it’s easy to pretend you’re listening to the original track, which is the only good thing about this shameless rip-off. The album represents a well-executed effort with unabashedly low artistic goals and relies heavily on the myriad high-price producers floating around...
...shore, freedoms are alienable. In Cuba, the choice to dissent from the government has dire ramifications. Citizens are imprisoned for merely voicing an opinion. Prisoners of conscience are systematically tortured and often executed for not conforming to the constraints of the totalitarian state—just some of many blatant violations of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights of which Cuba is a signor. Evidence of these abuses can be seen in the prison memoirs of Armando Valladares and countless other accounts by political prisoners. Valladares writes, “Freedom is so natural, so simple, so intangible and subtle...
...residents and citizens with email accounts can take part in the poll, which closes on February 22, regardless of whether their country uses the euro. However, there is the potential for voter fraud through multiple votes by those with more than one email address. And in a blatant attempt at trying to make this a popular poll, the Commission will award a set of gold coins worth "several thousand euros" to one random person from those who chose the most popular design...
...student government, but like most collegiate papers it has historically been allowed to challenge the misuse of that government’s authority. A meddling student government undermines the fundamental role of the newspaper to operate as a watchdog. Here, the SGA’s funding freeze was a blatant attempt to stifle the paper’s criticism, and thus threatened the integrity of both institutions. The affair at Montclair State is indicative of a much larger problem—that media outlets are too often funded by those whom they critique. The Corporation for Public Broadcasting...
...proving they weren’t hesitant to blow the whistle, the officials appeared to hand out penalties on several clean plays (for example, docking the Bears’ Mike Stuart for roughing on a textbook clean hit against the boards) while missing several flagrant infractions (such as a blatant takedown by Brown’s Devin Timberlake). The officiating, however, may not have the strangest aspect of the game. That honor goes to an unusual coaching decision by Donato, who, with his team down 4-1 in the third period, called goaltender Kyle Richter to the bench in favor...
