ant, I assume you're talking about Spacey? He's fantastic. Check out his James Lipton interview: http://videosift.com/video/kevin-spacey-is-really-really-good-at-impressions

Oink oink! The octupus cat toy reminds me of this:

Agreed! I don't know why I'm still surprised by what people find controversial or subversive anymore, especially when it comes to social justice and being overall decent human beings.

I first read Giroux in relation to teaching, along with Paulo Freire and others.

And here you have it: "'Why exactly are all the main characters in ‘Frozen’ white?' my husband asked a white friend recently. She responded thoughtfully: 'Well, the movie is set in a Nordic, cold place — you know, it makes sense, right?' Annoyed, my husband countered, 'The movie has a talking snowman.' It’s funny, and sad, where we draw the lines for what’s acceptable in fantasy movies. Somehow a talking snowman makes more sense than, say, a black Norwegian."
"Fortunately, as children so often do, my son rose to the occasion. He bought his parents’ awkward explanation of how 'Harry Potter is a made-up character, and he could be any color.' Yes, for a moment, he quietly resisted; he knew that Harry wasn’t just any color in the movie. But then his enormous childhood imagination took over, and he decided he could be Harry for Halloween after all. I’m not sure I want to know whether my son imagined away Harry Potter’s whiteness or his own blackness."
