Vay Tiền Nhanh Chỉ Cần Cmnd. Around 6 weeks ago I posted this picture on my Facebook with the caption “My Halloween Costume This Year, Please Don’t Steal it!” Actress Uzo Aduba playing her character Suzanne aka Crazy Eyes’ I was met with overwhelming laughter and encouragement from all of my friends. “OMG Crazy Eyes, That’s so Funny!” said one. “I Can’t Wait to see your Pictures. Please Post them on Halloween!” wrote another. *** About ten posts into the thread, a relative by marriage living in the States wrote “isn’t this offensive?” To which I quipped back; not entirely devoid of feeling huffy that I was being called out on my OWN FB board… “Offensive? To whom? This is a great character on TV from a show I adore. I’m not reading into it more than that I assure you?” *** And then last weekend…this happened. Dancer/Actress Julianne Hough Dressed up as Crazy Eyes’ for Halloween Immediately like wild-fire, there were allegations that Ms. Hough was racist, that her outfit was offensive and that she was misguided in thinking it could ever be appropriate. This jarred me to my marrow, as, this was my idea only 6 weeks prior? In the end, Ms. Hough put out an apology tweet, that in my opinion was vetted by her PR team who implored that she do so. I believe that she felt bad that she was offensive in any capacity as well, but had she truly understood the implications and backlash, I don’t think she would have ever done it in the first place? She truly had no idea! The apology in full read like this “I am a huge fan of the show Orange is the New black, actress Uzo Aduba, and the character she has created. It certainly was never my intention to be disrespectful or demeaning to anyone in any way. I realize my costume hurt and offended people and I truly apologize“ *** Ok, so back to topic. Disclaimer My intention here is not to offend ANYONE, but rather curry a dialogue about how people can see things so differently, especially people of different races, cultures, and even ages. I have to be honest and this is truly with zero intended malice or disrespect, but I didn’t think there was anything wrong with Julianne Hough’s costume? Not to get into a debate about color or hues…but I see her as orange-faced’ at best, and didn’t even think that something like this would offend? Honest! Is it possible that it’s because the character is based on someone who is both mentally ill and incarcerated? The latter being an overused stereotype in the black community or inversely as negative ammunition towards the black community? What if Julianne had dressed up with her ex-boyfriend Ryan Seacrest as Mr. & Mrs. Obama; The President & First Lady of the United States? Would the maelstrom reaction have existed as badly? Or how about someone like the beloved and gorgeous Beyoncé–successful & strong people of color? I’m not the one who is offended here, so I’m truly asking? Is this more about negative stereotypes, than a case of Blackface? I pride myself as someone who is moderately educated and informed on historical matters and even *I* thought that there was a very different interpretation of Blackface. I’m not even *certain* I’m spelling Blackface properly, and even that gives me anxiety that I’m offending someone! Inset1Ted Dansen shocks the world as he wears Blackface in a 1993 Friars Club Roast to then girlfriend Whoopi Goldberg, 21900 Minstrel show poster, 3Entertainer Al Jolson in Blackface. I HONESTLY thought that the Vaudeville era of white entertainers who wore Blackface’, were what was offensive to the African American community et al. The notion that a white entertainer would dress up in such a lampooned manner, depicting a black clown face and emphasizing the larger lips, as if to denote that for them to entertain’ they felt the need to project the black face clown image’ ie; that white people don’t have to cower to entertain the masses, that the clown entertainer’ should be a black person long sentence, mea culpa. It’s not perfectly articulated, but this is what I thought’ was the offensive Blackface in question. I know there are many other offensive depictions of black culture such as the Mammy/Aunt Jemima house servant’ or other overt Blaxploitation characters that exist that I haven’t touched on, but my intention here is NOT to write-up a laundry list, so bear with me. My intention here is to express my own confusion and naiveté about what is acceptable for Halloween, as a white Canadian who considers herself responsible and compassionate OMG, I’m writing in 3rd person…super ick! *** Another set of photo’s surfaced this week. That of a private party that was thrown in Italy called “Hallowood Disco Africa 2013.” It was attended by various taste makers and fashion designers and the pictures that surfaced were shocking to say the least. Below famed fashion designer Allesandro Dell’Acqua is wearing dark face paint and big white-painted lips while posing in a picture with a feather adorned Stefano Gabbana from Dolce & Gabbana pictured on left. In addition, there were various people who were sporting this slave-like costume? I’m unsure if these were actual guests or were male models who were hired as ambient props for the evening. Either way, it was in the utmost of poor taste, and I certainly didn’t need an Internet outcry to make me see that it was offensive and utterly disgusting. The organizers of the “Hallowood Disco Africa” have issued an apology via Instagram in the wake of all the controversy. *** While I didn’t think anything could trump that revolting display, I learned of a photo that was taken by some young white adults ages 22-25 re-enacting the death of Trayvon Martin and his assailant George Zimmerman. While the photo was eventually taken down, it had already gone viral and out of respect for Trayvon Martin’s family I would never repost it here. This particular Blackface of Trayvon was so caricature that I don’t even know what it was made from a mask or paint? but the entire picture, which included a bloodstained gun shot wound on the sweatshirt made me want to projectile vomit all over American stupidity and arrogance as a whole. Again, my reaction was one of disbelief and moral outrage. Apparently the parties involved issued some sort of an apology via I-have-no-idea, and with that image on permanent record I’m certain that this group is having to super-glue their lives back together and rightfully so, as it will probably haunt them for the remainder of their pathetic existence on this planet. It doesn’t end here friends. A couple of days ago, this happened to the daughter of Alec Baldwin & Kim Basinger–Miss Ireland Baldwin. Ireland was on vacay with her mother in Disneyland for Halloween weekend which as you can see was when most people dressed up who were above the ages of twelve. She posted the following picture via Instagram, and almost immediately she was inundated with accusations of RACISM?!?! She was earnest in expressing that as someone who is part Cherokee on her mothers side, was emulating this Disney character…BECAUSE DUH, SHE WAS IN DISNEY LAND; get a GRIP Merica! Being that she is the daughter of the famed Twitter outlaw Alec Baldwin, I’m not surprised she stood up for herself and good for her! She had this to say… And this… And ultimately this… People make mistakes, everyone. I made a mistake and I apologize if it offended. — Ireland IrelandBBaldwin October 30, 2013 *** I can’t say I understand what its like to have lived under a narrative of oppression, and I’m sensitive and have compassion for all forms of suffering, bullying or racism→ but hasn’t this all gotten out of hand? Should all racial parody costumes cease? I don’t know the answer to that, but I felt compelled to immediately take down my original Facebook post about my Halloween plans, of which didn’t actually exist, and was just a fun post about what I would want to be this year if I could. I have a long history of dressing up as various characters from TV’ or ”Media’ some of them from different cultures, but I definitely won’t be doing that in the future any longer. Through all of this, I learned something new, and I’m thankful for a heightened awareness in my sensitivity footprint. I guess it’s back to the Sexy Nurse, Sexy School Girl, Sexy Meteorologist Halloween garb for me! “Its going to be MUCHO Caliente in the Gulf of Mexico today Papi…” …Until the meteorologists get offended that is. I sincerely wish everyone and their families a safe and joyful Halloween eve. One Love, XOXO The Pop Culture Rainman™ *I have used the term black community in the majority of my expression above. Again this is in no way to disrespect anyone. I was brought up in Canada, and in my experience I don’t hear the term African-Canadians used very often, but understand that it is a valid, and often desired expression and way to address the black community. I do use it more when describing an African-American as I feel that this is the general term used. Might I also add candidly, that as a white person, I get frazzled when it comes to the right and wrong way to address people of color, and I believe it’s an anxiety shared by many conscious white people. Attendue le 9 juin, la cinquième saison d’Orange Is The New Black a été piratée et diffusée sur Internet avant l’heure. La raison ? Un maître-chanteur qui a réussi à pirater la série a tenté de monnayer son silence. D’autres séries TV sont menacées. Si vous êtes du genre à vous approvisionner en films et séries télévisées en passant par des canaux de distribution alternatifs, en faisant fi du droit d’auteur et de la loi, peut-être avez-vous remarqué avec surprise la disponibilité de la saison 5 d’Orange Is The New Black sur les réseaux d’échange en pair à pair P2P comme BitTorrent, ainsi que sur des sites illicites de téléchargement direct ou de streaming. Ceux et celles qui suivent avec assiduité la série TV produite et diffusée par Netflix depuis 2013 savent pourtant très bien que la cinquième saison de l’œuvre imaginée par Jenji Kohan n’est pas encore officiellement disponible. En effet, elle ne doit être mise en ligne sur la plateforme de vidéo à la demande par abonnement qu’à partir du 9 juin, selon un planning révélé en début d’année. La saison 5 Orange is the New Black est déjà référencée sur les sites pirates. Alors comment se fait-il que les dix épisodes — c’est-à-dire toute la saison ! — racontant la suite des aventures carcérales de Piper Chapman, incarnée par Taylor Schilling, et de ses codétenues aient été piratés et mis en ligne avant l’heure, plus d’un mois avant leur diffusion ? La responsabilité semble revenir à un mystérieux individu ou collectif se faisant appeler TheDarkOverlord. Son but ? Visiblement, il ne s’agissait pas de faire plaisir aux internautes n’ayant pas envie de verser les 8 euros mensuels que Netflix demande pour donner accès à son catalogue, mais bien de faire pression sur l’industrie audiovisuelle pour qu’elle paie une rançon afin que la saison piratée ne se retrouve par mise à disposition de tous sur Internet. Vous l’avez compris en constatant la disponibilité de la cinquième saison d’Orange is the New Black sur les canaux permettant de récupérer des œuvres piratées, personne n’a cédé. Mais ce refus de céder aux menaces sera-t-il tenu alors que les contenus de nombreuses autres chaînes de télévision américaines, qu’il s’agisse de ABC, CBS, E!, Fox, IFC ou NBC, sont aussi menacés ? Car TheDarkOverlord n’a pas qu’une saison dans sa manche. Selon le site DataBreaches, le maître-chanteur a en stock des tas de films et de séries TV qu’il est prêt à répandre sur Internet si les chaînes de télévision ne satisfont pas ses exigences. On dénombre six films, vingt-huit séries télévisées il n’est pas clair s’il s’agit à chaque fois de quelques épisodes ou de saisons entières, un court-métrage et un programme pour YouTube Red. Afin de montrer qu’il n’est pas un charlatan, TheDarkOverlord a fourni quelques éléments de preuve à DataBreaches concernant la saison cinq d’Orange is the New Black qui a donc fuité depuis, la toute première saison d’une série inédite, Bill Nye saves the World, et le film XXX Reactivated, qui est sorti en début d’année au cinéma et mettant en scène des acteurs comme Vin Diesel, Samuel L. Jackson, Donnie Yen et Ice Cube Pour mener à bien son opération, TheDarkOverlord n’a a priori pas bénéficié de complicités internes. Il a en revanche profité d’une vulnérabilité pour récupérer des tas de contenus audiovisuels qu’il utilise aujourd’hui pour faire pression sur les sociétés de production et les chaînes de télévision. C’est Larson Studios, Inc, une entreprise utilisée par plusieurs studios de télévision, qui a été piratée. Une rançon de 50 bitcoins Toujours selon TheDarkOverlord, les studios Larson était disposés à payer la rançon 50 bitcoins, soit près de 62 000 euros au cours actuel. Mais les contacts informels ont fini par cesser. Un contrat » aurait même été signé entre les deux parties, mais les allégations de TheDarkOverlord données à DataBreaches, outre qu’elles sont ici peu crédibles, sont de toute façon invérifiables. Quoiqu’il en soit, l’affaire est en train de prendre un tournant judiciaire. Un communiqué obtenu par DataBreaches indique que Netflix est au courant de la situation ». Outre qu’il confirme le fait qu’une faille de sécurité a été exploitée pour pirater les studios Larson, le service de SVOD annonce que les autorités compétentes sont impliquées » dans ce dossier. As with any book-to-film adaptation, there are clear differences between Piper Kerman’s 2010 memoir Orange is the New Black My Year in Women’s Prison and this summer’s Netflix Original adaptation, with Weeds creator Jenji Kohan at the helm. There are dozens of ways the show changed in its book-to-TV adaptation. The character of Delicious in the memoir is renamed Taystee in the series, Yoga Janet becomes Yoga Jones, the guard “Gay Pornstar” earns the even nastier nickname “Pornstache.” “Crazy Eyes” is Latina in the memoir, and isn’t NEARLY as aggressive as her African-American television counterpart. In the memoir, Piper’s fiancé Larry is basically perfect, on the show he’s a bordeline-offensive Jewish cliché who jump-starts his writing career by stealing Piper’s best prison material for his Modern Love column a real-life event that wasn’t nearly as creepy in real life and a segment on a This American Life-like radio show. And, my personal favorite, the prison jackets are “ugly” in the memoir, on film those coats are so bad-ass I’ll bet you my Netflix subscription that Old Navy and Forever-21 are racing each other to see who can mass-produce that shit by Christmas first. Here’s the thing. We can compare and contrast book and show until we’re out of things to compare and contrast. At the end of the day, there’s one difference between the book and the show that stands head and shoulders above the rest. Orange is the New Black is a fine memoir. Orange is the New Black is a revolutionary first season of television. As a memoir, Orange is the New Black is cover-blurbed by Eat, Pray, Love author Elizabeth Gilbert, and this makes ALL the sense in the world. Orange is the New Black is of the Eat, Pray, Love tradition a skinny, blonde, upper-middle-class white woman becomes a fish out of water and through her misadventures, finds herself. The world is interesting enough, the prose is good enough, every problem is resolved and tied up with a neat and pretty bow. I don’t mean to damn with faint praise. The book works. It’s a good book. If you like this type of memoir, you should read this book. True Story Newsletter Sign up for True Story to receive nonfiction news, new releases, and must-read forthcoming titles. Thank you for signing up! Keep an eye on your inbox. By signing up you agree to our terms of use As a television show, Orange is the New Black is a game-changer. We start with Piper as our touchstone, but we quickly find ourselves amidst an ensemble of female leads who are black, white, Latina, old, fat, gay, transgender, track-marked, meth-teethed, or, in other words, the kinds of women that usually get two lines on NCIS before they are shot or led away in handcuffs. This is truly a feminist’s show. And it’s not just feminism for cute, young white girls see, well, Girls. It’s feminism for women, all women, we all see ourselves on this show, this show says no matter what we look like or where we come from, we are worthy of being watched and listened to, our stories are worth caring about. Instead of slapping the Bechdel Test on this show like I’ve had to do with almost all other new media I’ve consumed this summer, I had to do a REVERSE Bechdel Test on this show Are there two named male characters? Do they talk to each other? Do they talk to each other about something other than a woman? I’m not sure this show passes on account of that last question. And after years of watching film and television fail the regular Bechdel test, I’m okay with that. This isn’t to say Jenji Kohan for the win, Piper Kerman for the lose. On the contrary, Piper Kerman is a consultant on the show and appears to have a lot of influence on the content. So Jenji and Piper both for the win, together they’ve made a hell of a team. I usually hate giving the adaptation more props than the book it was based on, but with Orange is the New Black, I don’t have much of a choice. As a memoir, it played right into its genre. As a television show, it’s changing the cultural conversation of who is worthy of having their story told. Whatever splash it made as a memoir can’t compare to the tidal wave it’s made as a television show. I can’t wait to see the aftershocks that follow. ____________________________ Sign up for our newsletter to have the best of Book Riot delivered straight to your inbox every two weeks. No spam.
