  • The Celebrity Apprentice Premiere Recap: Tom Scharpling Shoots Fish in a Barrel
    The Celebrity Apprentice Premiere Recap: Tom Scharpling Shoots Fish in a Barrel By Tom Scharpling When the fine people at Vulture asked me to recap season eleven of The Celebrity Apprentice, the first thing I did was pick up the phone and call famed funnyman Paul F. Tompkins, who is currently doing a stellar job recapping American Idol for this very same website. Paul said that Idol was sometimes a challenge because there’s certain amount of redundancy in covering a singing competition. “You will not have that problem,” he predicted. “You’ll be shooting fish in a barrel.” And yes, recapping this show will be shooting fish in a barrel. Mentally ill fish. In a big glass barrel designed expressly for mentally ill fish. With a gun filled with mentally-ill-fish-killing bullets. I am well aware that the contestants appearing on Celebrity Apprentice are not doing the show against their will: This is not The Running Man. Or Rollerball. Or any of those movies in which people are forced to enter some sort of competition against their will. But there is something slimy about the whole thing. Unlike American Idol, which, underneath its gross plastic exterior, has some sort of purity at its core by asking, "Who is the best unknown singer in the United States?" Celebrity Apprentice exists to give the half-talented and once-famous another sliver of fame in exchange for publicly rubbing their face in a big, fat pile of shame. 1 Yes, I know that there are charities involved and it is truly great that some extremely deserving organizations will get both cash money and national exposure.

  • A Critical Discourse Analysis of Violence in the Mass Effect
    A CRITICAL DISCOURSE ANALYSIS OF VIOLENCE IN THE MASS EFFECT UNIVERSE by Michael Frias BA St. Thomas University, 2012 A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF EDUCATION in the Graduate Academic Unit of Education (Critical Studies) Co-Supervisors: Linda Eyre, PhD (Education) Ellen Rose, PhD (Education) Examining Board: David Wagner, PhD: Chair Jane McLean, PhD, HRA, Education Lauren Cruikshank, PhD, Culture and Language Studies This thesis is accepted by the Dean of Graduate Studies THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW BRUNSWICK September, 2014 ©Michael Frias, 2014 ABSTRACT This thesis offers a critical discourse analysis of violence in the video game Mass Effect. After the Sandy Hook School shooting in December, 2012, Mass Effect was believed to motivate the shooter. Following this accusation, conversations arose defending and blaming the video game for the shooting. Rather than taking a side, I use Fairclough’s textually-oriented critical discourse analysis to explore the constructions of physical and discursive violence, especially discourses of gender, sexuality and race, in Mass Effect. Physical violence is the more overt presentation, making it easy to link the game to the shooting; discursive violence, however, is less obvious. I also explore how players engage with, and potentially resist, physical and discursive violence through online conversations and opportunities to change the game. Finally, I offer implications for video game developers, parents, teachers, players, and the public. ii DEDICATION For Brandan iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I express my deepest thanks to Dr. Linda Eyre and Dr. Ellen Rose. I was a scared undergraduate when we first met.
