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!

Doth mother know you weareth her drapes?

     “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...

Black Lives Matter

'There comes a time when silence is betrayal'.   -Martin Luther King .  To where it all started… Let's go back in time to the year 2013- The year 2013 which has made all difference by celebrating the acknowledgment of the existence of black lives, when the never answered injustice in the form of racism was questioned. Black lives matter is the world famous movement which signifies the contribution of the black folks in the society. The movement came to life against the white supremacy because of the deadly oppression and the brutal behaviour faced by the black race community. The movement black lives matter focuses on changing the mindset of racists that there is no black-white, African-American, the only race is Human race. In other words, humanity should be our race and love should be the religion. How digital media played a role? The gruesome death of Trayvon Martin a 17 year old African American who was shot in Sanford, Florida by George Zimmerman wh...

Feminism: The Way Of Being

  A feminist is anyone who recognizes the equality and full humanity of women and men. Gloria Steinem. Feminism not a one way concept, a wide spectrum…       Feminism – an eight-letter word which has shaped the beliefs of all of the human-kind, which has kept the connotation of ‘feminism’ as the advocacy of women’s rights the grounds of the equality of the sexes. Through this piece, I’d like to share my notion about this sentiment, seeking to establish parallel ‘hope’, ‘freedom’, ‘space’, ‘contingency’ and ‘cut’ through a male prospect. The penchant wave formally began in 1848, where about three hundred men and women rallied about for the cause of equality for women. The socio-historical oppression was born when contradiction was seen as the antagonism between both of these sexes on the basis of biological differences, being compared to men, it was believed that women were at a biological disadvantage, as the reproductive function of a woman was considered as a ...
