The topics to be discussed are: a continuation of some of last week's issues that were left on our table of colloquium (i.e. the passing of Etta James, Jimmy Castor and Johnny Otis, Julian Assange's TV venture, 50 cent & Chelsea Handler); Adult Swim's new The Eric Andre Show is a gabfest that features hosts of color; an advertisement depicting an interracial couple causes outrage in post apartheid South Africa; French Elle magazine is in hot water for an article describing the Obamas' fashion sense as "Black-geoisie"; and lastly, in the world of science and tech-engineers create robots that can play catch and a Huffington Post article waxes on what extraterrestrial life might really look like.
