MOCKINGBIRDS

-

Sigh! We are so bored and jobless these days that a mere dislike towards anything entertaining in life is ridiculed to the greatest extent in shortest amount of time, which ironically is quite entertaining. Spoofs have been lying around in the literary and entertainment industry for ages but no one seems to have noticed them. Vampires may suck (the Salvatores don’t), Austin definitely has no powers, movies may not be scary, “not another teen movie” is no way close to being taken into consideration as it won’t be going away anywhere for a while.

Johnny with his English, Peter Griffin who definitely isn't a family guy and Shrek who is so one of a kind that he can’t be called the third, together show us that spoofs can make sense and earn a thumps-up even from critics. RCNM’s new blog theme is cornering spoofs this month or might I say the importance that New York City holds that aliens across the galaxy have to attack that place and that place only. 


Spoofs, parodies, burlesques - we love all of them and we want all of them! Brilliant is the hand that wields the mocking pen. So we shall seek that brilliance, and harnessing the power of words, we shall create parodyse...er.. paradise.



Tempted to mock the world? You too can join forces with us! Contact us at editorials.rcnm@gmail.com and get your spoof featured for this month’s blog theme - Mockingbirds!

     “With the single exception of Homer, there is no eminent writer, not even Sir Walter Scott, whom I can despise so entirely as I despise Shakespeare when I measure my mind against his."-  George Bernard Shaw              Reading or listening to Shakespeare can be like learning a foreign language. And then some people have trouble finding the "real" or "true" emotion or feeling in the words. It takes time, and everyone is in such a hurry. Well, not everyone. People liked the movie "Shakespeare in Love", but then the language was changed when the "real" characters were talking with each other while not reciting their lines. The main issue may be intellectual accessibility. They are nauseatingly boring to read. And all I learned was that Early Modern English hurt my brain. The most bizarre and probably the coolest of all was Muammar al-Gaddafi on Willy, who was,  Sheikh  Zubayr bin William. Gaddafi came up with this champion in

The Mentalist

The Mentalist is a very interesting show about a man named Patrick Jean, a former psychic who has the ability to "read" peoples minds . He uses these same skills to work with the FBI, and helps them catch criminals. In return he also wants their aid in catching the person who killed his wife and daughter. The peculiar thing about this show is the wa y he use s h is ability to think in absurd ways helps him solve crimes. Putting himself in the shoes of the criminal and predicting the criminal's next move, as well as using a "mind palace" to store all important facts and  evidence of the case, are just a few of the things that he does. Patrick's ability to think in the most absurd fashion and come up with the most crazy reasons as to how a person can be caught or proven guilty is interesting. This is also probably the reason why the show has a very repetitive story line. In which the sequence of events happen i

Nasty Battles #9 - Last benchers Vs first benchers

-

The classification - There are 2 kinds of students in a class- the outstanding ones and the others who are always standing out of the class. The former being the face of the class and the latter being the backbone. Idiosyncrasies - If a doubt is being asked in the class, the nerds frantically scan the textbooks for the answer while the other ‘chilled out’ kind is like “Just 5 minutes left for the lecture to climax ;)". The first benchers wish to get a degree to get a job (in hope of a ‘bright’ future) while the last benchers consider Facebook as their present and also their future (Who cares if it’s bright or not!?). The former crowd will always be on time, never call in a sick and would LOVE to work overtime (and basically salsa to the teachers’ rhythm). Last benchers, on the other hand, are those who OBVIOUSLY want to attend the class; but for the fun in their own sweet last bench-ly world (it does amaze me that how they manage to listen to the teachers). They’ve
