Ever Think About "Deer Crossing" Highway Signs?

This story may have a real truth that is really worth noting: How really intelligent is the U.S. electorate?

Donna called a local talk radio station asking for help in getting deer crossing signs moved to lower traffic areas to avoid accidents by hitting deer and saying, "The government can guide deer to lower traffic areas"--this audio clip on October, 2012 from the Y94 Playhouse at a Fargo, ND radio station was too funny to not find a way for more people to hear it -- so here is the video:

Now, you've probably been asking yourself -- is Donna for real? Now you can hear the rest of the story! "Donna the Deer Lady" returned on the air for a followup interview a while later with the Y94 Playhouse on the air.

Time: 05:43

History:

Donna first appeared on Y94 Playhouse, Fargo, ND when she called and asked for help getting deer signs moved. "The government can direct the deer to cross wherever they want"... "It is irresponsible to ask deer to cross in high traffic areas". That audio clip spread through email until tutufunny4u turned it into a YouTube video, "Please Move the Deer Crossing" which has gone global -- with 1.6 million viewers in 189 countries at the time of this followup interview.

Now hear Donna say, "Honestly, I had no clue these signs were for us." as she responds about fame and her realization that she was a bit ignorant (cough! cough). Donna appears to be a gracious lady who can laugh at herself and learn from her errors. THANK YOU DONNA and Y94 Playhouse for the entertainment you have given us and for returning to let the world hear the rest of the story!

Violin Virtuoso Fiddles a New Tune for a Ring Tone

How many times have you been at a meeting, theatre, concert, movie, play or restaurant when "the inevitable interruption" always seems to happen, especially at the most critical or crucial times? ...It's that obnoxious, loud rude ring tone of a cell phone's melodic tune annoyingly calling out, "I am here, talk to me, pick me up or I will repeatedly cry all over again until you do!" 

  

Here is how one artiste, a violin virtuoso, handled it with classy finesse... I can only say,"Bravo, Bravo!"

SEE "The Interview" Movie here...

If you haven't heard of the big, loud brouhaha about the North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un about his Hollywood film; then you're not following the year-end Academy Award's also-ran Best Picture of 2014--"The Interview".

In June 2014, the North Korean government threatened "merciless" action against the United States if the film's distributor, Columbia Pictures, went ahead with the release. Columbia delayed the release from October 10 to December 25, and reportedly edited the film to make it more acceptable to North Korea.

In November, 2014 the computer systems of parent company Sony Pictures Entertainment were hacked by the "Guardians of Peace", a group the FBI believes has ties to North Korea. After leaking several other then-upcoming Sony films and other sensitive internal information, the group demanded that Sony pull The Interview, which it referred to as "the movie of terrorism".

On December 16, 2014, the Guardians of Peace threatened terrorist attacks against cinemas that played The Interview.

On December 17, 2014 after a number of major North American cinema chainsKim Jong-un IL with crying, adoring, people for "Dear Leader." canceled screenings in the interests of safety, Sony canceled the theatrical release of The Interview, drawing criticism from the media, Hollywood figures and U.S. President Barack Obama.

On December 19, 2014, the United States people disregard the North Korea threats to its sovereign Constitutional rights and theaters show the movie as it is shown throughout the internet. After initially stating that it had no plans to release the film, Sony made The Interview available for online rental on December 24, and in a limited release at selected cinemas on December 25.

Movie Storyline: Dave Skylark and producer Aaron Rapoport run the celebrity tabloid show “Skylark Tonight.” When they land an interview with a surprise fan, North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un, they are recruited by the CIA to turn their trip to Pyongyang into an assassination mission.

"Winter-A-Go-Go" is the Place to "Go-Go!"

 "The Ski Bums put the 'dig' in "Shindig!"...

...the Ski Babes put the 'ball' in "Hullabaloo!"

Those headlines were electrifying audiences, magnetingly drawing more movie goers to the theatres as the ticket lines wrapped around the block to sold out box offices. Its SRO in theatre aisles as the lead-in movie promos fill up the screen with the far out, groovy, outta sight, big 1965 Hollywood movie hit, "Winter-A-Go-Go" starring James Stacy, filmed on location in the spectacular resort ski area of Lake Tahoe, California.  

• Movie Bio: In this lively, song-filled romp, featuring a theme song by "The Hondells." [Group rode on Honda bikes] Filmed on location around the pine tree dotted, snow covered Lake Tahoe resort, this rollicking comedy finds Jeff Forrester (William Wellman, Jr., Born Losers) inheriting a ski lodge where, with friend Danny Frazer (James Stacy, TV's Lancer), he hopes to create a happening destination causing Jeff to neglect his lovely secretary (Beverly Adams, The Silencers). And then the partners are faced with a problem guest whom they soon learn is actually working for the mortgage-holder who wants to take possession of the now-hot property. Tom Nardini and Julie Parrish co-star. [Ever heard of the actor credits for the movie, "Born Losers" and the T.V. shows, "Lancer" or "The Silencers?"--not many others have either.]

Who "with it" actually "gets stoked" watching "groovy" T.V. shows like Shindig!" and "Hullabaloo!" on T.V.? Only you who are over the age of sixty-five, fifteen in 1965, will even remember these really cool, hip, bitchin', pop music programs. With today's Cable T.V. fares like "American Idol" and "The Voice", they lack the technologically advanced imagery and staging, yet prove they carry toe-tapping tunes off flawlessly.

Shindig! was conceived as a short-notice series replacement show for Hootenanny, a series that had specialized in folk revival music. Donna Loren, Jackie DeShannon and Bobby Sherman were regular vocalists on the series The folk revival had fizzled in 1964 as the result of the British Invasion, which damaged the ratings for Hootenanny and prompted that show's cancellation. 

Hullabaloo! served as a big-budget, quality showcase for the leading pop acts of the day. It was also competition for another like-minded television showcase, ABC's Shindig!. A different host presided each week—among these were Sammy Davis, Jr., Petula Clark, Paul Anka, Liza Minnelli,Jack Jones, and Frankie Avalon—singing a couple of his or her own hits and introducing the different acts. Chart-topping acts who performed on the show included Dionne Warwick, The Lovin' Spoonful, The Rolling Stones, The Yardbirds, Sonny & Cher, the Supremes, Herman's Hermits, The Animals, Roy Orbison and Marianne Faithfull.

Hear how Archie Bunker says the "N" Word!

Hear "N" Word Slur at the 07:00 Timer Mark.

It all seems like yesterday when I watched this "Lionel's Engagement" episode Carroll O"Conner & Sherman Hemsley(1974) since it's now forty years ago. The "All in the Family" series aired from 1971 to 1979. It was a cutting edge, nationally aired, TV sitcom show that opened up a racial dialog which depicted a bigoted, blue collar worker and his family handling racial relations and learning of tolerance in our American society. Both actors showed their racial bigotries as Carroll O'Conner and Sherman Hemsley performed within a rich content in scripts rife with social commentary and an abundant liberal political bias created by a talented Hollywood progressive left-wing activist, Producer Norman Lear.

"All in the Family" certainly drove a lot of Ku Klux Klan members and other racial bigots crazy too as I recall. After all, it was 1971 and still only seven years years earlier that a Democrat, President Johnson signed the 1964 Civil Rights Bill and a hundred years after a Republican, President Abraham Lincoln's 1864 Emancipation Proclamation had freed the slaves. "The Times Are a Changin'..." as the hippie, folk singer Bob Dylan sang songs while strumming his guitar at civil rights rallies back in 1964.

In 2014, it has been fifty years since the 1964 Civil Rights Law guaranteed them to all minorities and one hundred-fifty years after the 1864 Emancipation Proclamation freed all the slaves. How long does it take for an ethnic group to recognize that other emerging minorities now are competing against them in the schools and taking the jobs while they protest and remain on government welfare programs? Over the past fifty years, I personally recalled no significant demographic changes by Blacks due to government pandering of largess. The Black's future does not look too bright for the next fifty years either. Sad.

By 2043, according to the U.S. Census Bureau the White majority will be gone. With the influx of other nationalities, the balance in education is growing further lopsided as blacks have not demonstrated real initiative to learn which have marginalized them further, literally sweeping themselves into a corner to be forgotten. Further, society has simply lost its patience to continue supporting anyone whining about their past. The ever-growing Hispanic population has already passed blacks in numbers while gaining a much greater value as a national voter block majority to bolster Democrat party ambitions. By 2043, I wonder how the prejudice paradigm will shift and which group will be called the next "unmentionable letter" racial slur...
