'SNL' Seeking Sponsors for Season 40 08.04.2014 NBC's "Saturday Night Live" is seeking in-program sponsors to help support it in its 40th anniversary season, reports Variety's Brian Steinberg.Â "More sponsors are seeking alliances with specific progams and networks rather than simply spraying 30-second commercials across dozens of TV outlets," he writes. "SNL" is no stranger to mixing business with pleasure. The show's MacGruber skits, which spoofed MacGyver and starred Will Forte, began life as Pepsi commercials and ultimately evolved into a movie. Apple and Budweiser both have sponsored the show's first musical segment, getting a promotional message on screen at the end of the performance in exchange for doing so. And many "SNL" stars through the years have starred in commercials. One, Beck Bennett, was featured in AT&T's "It's Not Complicated" campaign, before the actor ended up joining "SNL" last season. Still, "SNL"'s storied executive producer, Lorne Michaels, traditionally has been hesitant to incorporate sponsors due to fear that they would limit the show's freedom. "Because the show regularly skewers advertisers and sundry political targets, the merest trespass of a paying sponsor onto "SNL's" satirical playing ground might trigger viewer pushback. Making advertising too much a part of the show might also create the sense that "SNL" is not free to pursue targets as it sees fit," writes Steinberg.Â Some of the shows most popular skits have come in the form of short-form videos, which eventually go viral, such as Tina Fey's "Brownie Husband" (above), Mom Jeans and the CNN Pregnancy Test. Should "SNL" welcome more in-program sponsors in season 40, it would not be alone at Comcast-owned NBC. "The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon" includes segments sponsored by General Electric, while Tina Fey's "30 Rock" frequently included sponsors such as Verizon Wireless and Snapple.Â Read more: Variety Brief Take: Brands intricately woven into content isÂ likely the future of ad-supported television. With 30-second ads increasingly getting skipped, advertisers need to to find other ways to get themselves seen by viewers.Â .

Crip Kinship: a Political Strategy of People Who Were Deemed Contagious by the Shirtless Putin
Crip Kinship: A Political Strategy of People Who Were Deemed Contagious by the Shirtless Putin Alexander Kondakov This article analyzes conditions in which contagious populations have found them- selves in Russia and reviews theories of queer/crip kinship from two perspectives: the theories developed in academic literature, and the conceptualization of queer/crip kinship that may be derived from everyday accounts of people. The latter position is shaped through an analysis of life history interviews with disabled people who identify on the LGBTIQ spectrum in Russia. The Russian context is different from many other geographical locations, but also relates to the more common condition of precar- ity shared under contemporary neoliberal capitalism. Crip kinship is understood as a prominent political strategy that brings new perspectives on our futurities outside of assemblages of oppression and exploitation that able-bodiedness, heterosexism, and misogyny provoke, sustain, and enforce. Keywords: crip / kinship / queer / Russia In 2013, the Russian state passed an Administrative Code statute declaring “non- traditional sexual relations” such as “male homosexual relations, bisexuality, and transgenderism” as contagious and prohibited any Form oF “dissemination” or “propaganda” about such “non-traditional relations.”1 The law implies that sexual relations oF this sort can be transmitted From one body to another and are danger- ous For children because they can plant “non-traditional sexual attitudes” in their psyche, “provoke interest into such relationship,” and make children queer, enlarg- ing the “diseased” population oF the Russian Federation (Federal Law 2013). Within this contagious framing, the law seeks to prevent Russian children from becoming queer, and, in doing so, positions queer liFe as disposable (Evans and Giroux 2015).

Trying to rule the world proves to be tough business and M.O.D.O.K. has run his evil organization, A.I.M., into the ground. Ousted as the organization's leader while also dealing with his crumbling marriage and family life, M.O.D.O.K. has a lot on his plate. Besides Oswalt, the series also stars Melissa Fumero, Aimee Garcia, Wendi McLendon-Covey, Ben Schwartz, Beck Bennett, Jon Daly and Sam Richardson. Marvel's M.O.D.O.K. is created and written by executive producers Jordan Blum and Oswalt.

HOME DINING PATIO - EVENING A family sits silently around a table. Their plates are brimming with food. CECILY, KENAN, and AIDY sit awkwardly. BECK narrates. BECK (V.O.) Dixie® brand paper products understand you’ve got a lot on your plate already. CECILY But sweetheart, Jesus has a plan. Aidy rolls her eyes at this, and crosses her arms. KENAN Don’t take that tone with your mother. AIDY I didn’t even say anything! KENAN Go to your room, young lady! EXT. BACKYARD BBQ - DAY MIKEY stands uncomfortably as ALEX and MELISSA stare him down, angrily. BECK (V.O.) With family, friends and a divisive political climate, the art of dinner conversation has gone the way of the land line: extinct. ALEX Dude, you’ve known Maria since we were 25. Why would you say that? MIKEY It’s just one guy’s opinion. MELISSA You don’t really believe that, do you? 3. INT. KITCHEN - NIGHT KYLE piles food onto his plate, angrily. KATE judges him relentlessly. BECK (V.O.) But in this unreliable time of defriending people on Facebook for their political views, Dixie remains a truly bipartisan product. KYLE What if the children find it, Linda? KATE Then maybe it’s nature’s way of saying we shouldn’t have children? BECK (V.O.) Carrying the left and right, the red, and the blue, we’ll be there to keep your meal together when you’re relationships start falling apart.
