...Tropic Thunder stars seem rich at first, but they don't grow; they grow repetitious. Lazarus is a mix of Russell Crowe, Daniel Day-Lewis and Robert De Niro in his body-punishing Raging Bull days, and Downey brings a nice pomposity to his blackface posturing and righteous-pimp drawl. (The joke, by the way, is clearly not on African Americans; it's on the actor's belief that he can play anyone.) But Lazarus and the others out there in the jungle don't evolve or devolve; they are figures from an SNL skit or the director...
...such parties. But the fun czar does have the power to provide venues for dry fun that don’t risk feeling condescendingly hokey. While the welcome-back barbecue and sing-alongs appeal to some, events such as Yardfest (which is happening at night this year) and Pimp Your Stein Clubs have a much broader appeal to the population of young adults on campus. The position of fun czar holds great potential. The first fun czar, Zachary A. Corker ’04, spearheaded the efforts to establish the Cambridge Queen’s Head Pub in Loker Commons...

Between albums like this, the canonization of Scarface and the late Pimp C, and the rise of rappers like T.I. and Lil’ Wayne, maybe the South will soon get its own pantheon of rap gods. Maybe Pastor Troy will be hovering somewhere nearby, a Spice 1 or MC Shan waiting in the wings. —Reviewer J. Samuel Abbott...
...Hirsch’s appearance at Yale did not come without criticism. Gail Dines, a professor at Wheelock College and anti-pornography activist who spoke at Harvard this fall, said that bringing Hirsch to Yale in thiscontext was “one of the first times that a major pimp pornographer was sanitized by an Ivy League university.” “Steve Hirsch is a predatory capitalist, who is basically a pimp in an expensive suit. I can’t believe there aren’t female students at Yale who are outraged by this...
