    Cruel Television: TV Times MECS3004 Seminar Watch the audition of William Hung http://youtu.be/2Qkas9mlMgE Extract from Smith, R. H. (2014) The Joy of Pain, Schadenfreude and the Dark side of Human Nature. Oxford, Oxford University Press. p.113-115 ‘Since its first season in 2020, American Idol has been one of the most highly viewed shown on television. There are many reasons for its popularity. Without the opportunity to see talented performers emerge from obscurity and mature over the weeks and to enjoy the guest appearances from musical legends, it would lack the cocktail of ingredients that has made it so popular. But without the balance of viewing the humiliating as well as the uplifting, the extraordinary appeal of the show would diminish. Humiliation might be one of the worst things to experience. It renders a person’s public self in tatters, defective and inferior. People in such situations are like marks who are socially dead... How could it be pleasing to witness such social pain? One explanation may be in the social comparison implications for the viewer... any downward comparison which is partly what another person’s humiliation implies, can mix pleasure with sympathy. ..Certainly for most people, watching William Hung performing so poorly on the screen created no danger of experiencing a deflating ‘upward comparison’ with someone superior to them. On any visible dimension of comparison even the most ordinary viewers would have felt no threat to their own relative judgement of themselves. On the contrary, most people could conclude that they were better looking, more talented, more self-aware- more cool – than Hung.

  • New Haven Karaoke Bar Will Let You Sing Yourself Silly
    New Haven karaoke bar will let you sing yourself silly Internet: Friday, August 24, 2012 Print: Saturday, Aug. 25, 2012 By Alexandra Sanders, Register Staff [email protected] / Twitter: @asanders88 New Haven-- Andrew Lebwohl is opening "Karaoke Heroes" a new bar at 212 Crown Street. Peter Casolino/New Haven Register 8/21/12 NEW HAVEN — Soon you will be able to walk through a phone booth and turn into your own version of Superman before walking down into the Batcave, past red, closed-circuit phones that the commissioner can call you on — and sing. Patrons of the new karaoke bar, Karaoke Heroes, won’t be handed weapons to become vigilantes, but they will be given a microphone to become rock stars. Andrew Lebwohl, CEO and owner of Karaoke Heroes, practiced corporate bankruptcy and insurance regulatory law at Dewey and LeBeouf LLC of New York before changing careers to follow his childhood passion: karaoke. “I have been a fan of karaoke since I was 8. I have performed karaoke on four continents, and I’ve sung with a number of a capella groups. In 2011, I actually won the first round of the New York City trials for the National Karaoke Championship,” said Lebwohl. “But I had that other passion I felt like I had given up on,” he added. “I felt like I owed myself a chance to try other things while I’m still young.” Lebwohl received his MBA from the Yale School of Management and he was a fellow at the Yale Entrepreneurial Institute during the summer of 2011.

Generally, questions of fame attack put the celebrity and the PR-Media hub into the foreground. The analysis of stargazers brings up the rear. The investigation of the dynamics between ascribed and achieved celebrity, celetoids, PR strategists, media corporations and the audience may Treap enormously rich fi ndings. But it is not enough for someone to be a star, or for others to construct, glaze and wax the facade of celebrity, or for still larger numbers to be in thrall to celebrity worship syndrome, narcissistic idealization and hero worship. Celebrity culture also demands an absolute foil, a butt. The star at the pinnacle of the pyramid requires a negative force at the base to legitimate celebrity prestige and sanction levels of economic reward that would otherwise be regarded to be excessive. The star signifi es capability, decorum, glamour, intelligence and authority. The fool is an anti-star. He signifi es, among other things, incompetence, ineffectuality, indignity and weakness.

  • AABA Newsletter
    AABA Newsletter WWW.AABA - BAY.COM OCTOBER 2011 President’s Column By Malcolm Yeung On Saturday October 1, I attended an extraordinary panel at my alma mater, Boalt Hall. The panel lineup consisted of luminaries from the API Legal Universe: trailblazer Dale Minami; former State Bar President Holly Fujie; LA Superior Court Judge Ralph Ongeko; US District Court, Northern District of California Judge Ed Chen; Hawaii Attorney General David Louie; and San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee. Besides their collective magnificence, what brought these folks together you ask? All were Boalt Hall Alumni. Five out of the six went to law school at the same time. And four out of the six were housemates in what moderator Dale Minami labelled, “The Asian American Animal House.” Yes, this is a special class, and not just because all the guys had mustaches. Having them together in one place to hear them speak about how they got to where they are now was a privilege in and of itself. What was even more stunning was learning how each of these luminaries have ascended to the top of their profession by dedicating themselves to a very simple pursuit, public service. That’s not to say that each of them have always or even presently have a career in public service. But whether in private practice, public interest, or government -- each never lost sight of an urgency to serve the greater public good in one capacity or another. After the panel, this got a number of us younger -- wait, wrong word -- “less experienced” Boalt Alumni thinking.
