Our coveted children’s show on PBS has taught us many things over the years, but now that times are changing, so is some of the show’s educational focus.
Sesame Street remains the leader in childhood educational programming as they have maintained their mission to reach every child that watches the show. They became trailblazers when they introduced Kami, the character with HIV, and explored the topics of deployment, divorce, and now incarceration. The show welcomes a new character, Alex, whose father is in jail. As he copes with his father’s absence, the Sesame Street family embraces him, according to the International Business Times. (more…)

Well, the ignorant losers that thought that this endearing commercial was vile and disturbing because a black man had fathered an absolutely beautiful daughter with a white woman, are in for a treat. There has been a commercial created to replace the original commercial that caused the outrage. (more…)

Porn star Mr. Marcus goes to jail for 30 days for not disclosing to film producers that he had Syphyilis last year.

Well known porn star Mr. Marcus, 42, whose real name is Jesse Spencer, has been sentenced to 30 days in prison for falsifying documents that proved he had syphilis last year. Apparently, these papers are required to show your overall health status before working on any films. But Spencer contends that he received a shot of penicillin from his doctor and he was told that he was not “contagious” even though he was diagnosed again for the disease eight days later. (more…)

Writer for NewsOne, Kirsten West Savali exposed racist ad for Uni-ball called “Bust You Out” and company has agreed to drop the ad and apologizes.
First Pepsi, now another company has fallen into the, obviously, tempting world of racist ads.
Uni-ball, known for their gel ink pens, thought it would be cute to take a punch at black prison inmates and their pen pal “homies” back home. The commercial for their pen makes little to no sense as they poke fun at the slang typed in Edwardian Script that, according to Uni-ball, calls for a British accent because it isn’t written using their pen.
