Your reading list for 2/26/13 RD - Argo, awful Oscars

Hi bird nerds, John here. Tomorrow’s show is great. We have the wonderful Nima Shirazi on to discuss best-picture winner Argo as CIA propoganda, and Mol & I spend the rest of the show ripping on Seth MacFarlane and The Onion for their awful “jokes”.

Here’s Nima’s recent take on Argo, and one of his from last year.

And, here’s Buzzfeed and Gawker on MacFarlane’s awful sexism, racism, and homophobia. 

We didn’t get to it on the show, but the New Yorker’s Amy Davidson has a wonderful analysis of MacF’s Oscar sexism directed at women in the workplace.
