In a perverse way, Jamie Oliver has highlighted many of the shortcomings of the U.S. food system. But it was like taking a wrecking ball to a termite-infested house to show the rot inside at the cost of smashing the structure. That he failed to meet the nutritional guidelines, went way over budget and put the school district at risk of losing federal funding is bad enough. The fact that so many children stopped drinking milk, dropped out of the program and appeared to be eating less food, strongly suggests they were worse off under his program.

But, apparently, the Law School is pleased that this has helped raised the school’s profile, even if it simultaneously endorses negative stereotypes about its alumni.”

Move over, guidos. The Russkies are coming! A planned Russian-American reality show dubbed “Brighton Beach” aims to be a cross between “Jersey Shore” and “Anna Karenina.” “We are big fans of ‘Jersey Shore,’ but the Russian community has its own set of characters which we think could be even more interesting,” said co-creator Elina Miller, who is working to find a network for the show.

“Next, a walky-talky preamble from the auteur, pacing steadily towards the lens, punctuating every sentence with a hand gesture, and ignoring all the pricks around him like he’s gliding through the fucking Matrix.”
