Squid Game Executions.
Why is Squid Game called Squid Game? When no apparent squid, real or otherwise, is featured. What I have seen of the game is just a load of hapless South Koreans being shot at by a giant doll. Those who can get through win a huge sum of money. Of course, it is just a concept, a drama, where poor people are encouraged to take part to win this money. Though fictional, the concept of people taking part in a game where most of them will die to win a large amount of money for entertainment is morally questionable to me. However, like Traitors in the UK, also with a morally questionable agenda, the show is watched by millions around the world.

Brody King Just Turned AEW Dynamite Into A Political and Cultural Flashpoint by NWO Sparrow
How One AEW Star Triggered Raw Emotion Inside And Outside The Ring In my time covering pro wrestling , I have seen performers rise through story lines, title runs, and viral moments. Very few capture the kind of raw audience investment that feels larger than a match. Last night on AEW Dynamite, Brody King reached a level that transcended scripted competition. It felt bigger than wrestling, bigger than rivalry, and honestly bigger than AEW itself.

The Goode Family
The Goode Family is one of my favorite cartoons for adults. It was created by Mike Judge, the creator of Beavis and Butthead. It was about a vegan, hippie, politically correct and environmentally correct family named The Good Family.

ARD’s television film Der neue Freund (“The New Friend”) represents a type of storytelling that has become increasingly common in German public broadcasting: socially grounded narratives that focus on interpersonal relationships rather than spectacle.
