Serial Killers

Chuck Klosterman talked about that people, who meet serial killers do not overreact, nor do people freak out about this.  Chuck says in his discussions about serial killers, is that we glorify, and promote serial killers in the media.  Chucks talks about in the literature, is that his friends knows serial killers.  Chuck mentions in the article is that when a serial killer criminal dies, they suddenly become famous for no apparent reason.  I would agree with Chuck's ideas about the topic of serial killers.  If I would see or meet a serial killer, my first reaction would be to have an anxiety attack.  Or, run as fast I can if I meet a serial killer.  Plus, when I research about serial killers, it does not fascinate me, this topic scares me.

Accidental Racist Song

In class we mentioned the "Accidental Racist" song by Brad Prasiley featuring L.L. Cool J.   The big deal was the LL Cool J verse in the song.  I thought people given Brad Prasiley the benefit of the doubt.  However, people were confused, and did not understand LL Cool J verses in the song.  I think people thought LL Cool J rap was inappropriate, and did not fit the song.  I also think that people thought his rap was very cliché, and very confusing meaning in the song.   Plus, my reaction was people are really freaking over LL Cool J verse.  I thought this song was very good.    Sometimes people who listens to a song sometimes jump to conclusions.   Or try to assume a meaning of a song, without even taking the time; to figure out the message of the song.
