Acura Super Bowl Commercial: Jerry Seinfeld vs. Jay Leno for the First NSX [Video]

The Super Bowl is this Sunday, and if you’re like me, you just may tune in for the commercials alone. This is the only time when commercials are not just welcome, but anticipated, so why wait to see what is sure to be one of the hottest ad spots this year during the big game? We just saw Acura’s newest commercial that will air during the Super Bowl and couldn’t wait to share it with you.

High-end sports car aficionados Jerry Seinfeld and Jay Leno star in this spot for Acura where they are pitted against each other, competing to be the very first person in the world to have the yet-to-be-released Acura NSX. The commercial is hilarious and also features one of the most beloved characters from the show Seinfeld, the Soup Nazi.

Stop Internet Censorship!

Today, some of your favorite websites will not be displaying or functioning fully. They will not be at our collective disposal with just a click of a button, and their content will not be there, ready to entertain us, or inform us, or make us better citizens of the world. Instead, these websites will be dark or possess very little other than a message of protest against proposed U.S. legislation that threatens internet freedom: the Stop Internet Piracy Act (SOPA) and the Protect IP Act (PIPA).

As it stands today, the U.S. has laws in place to fight online piracy and copyright infringement. You see this in action every time you go to watch a YouTube video and instead of the video, you see a notice that it has been taken down due to some …

Hillary Clinton Delivers Historic LGBT Rights Speech in Celebration of International Human Rights Day

On December 10, 1948, after a nearly-two year process of drafting, revising, and rewriting, forty-eight nations voted in favor of adopting one of the most important texts to human beings everywhere–the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. This text proclaims that all human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. It is a simple, yet extraordinarily powerful idea, and one that in the past 63 years has led many nations to instill lasting change benefiting the citizens of their collective countries. However, this has not been enough to protect all human beings based on the simple fact that they are human beings. Even in the United States today, countless people are affected by broad injustice, discrimination, and intolerance.

Yesterday, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton delivered a profound speech to a packed auditorium in Geneva …

Another Protest Scheduled Against Big Banks

The outrage toward large banks continues.

Fresh off the heels of consumer protests over monthly debit card fees and “Bank Transfer Day” is a new movement that speaks out against high credit card rates.

December 11 has been deemed “Balance Transfer Day” where consumers are encouraged to switch from high interest credit cards to lower or zero rate cards.

The Balance Transfer Day’s Manifesto statement on Facebook encourages consumers to “demand the same 0% interest rate that banks receive from the federal government” and “create our own bailouts by using a balance transfer as a means to bail ourselves out of credit card debt.”

“Criticizing high interest rates is a fair point, and encouraging cardholders to transfer balances to a card with a lower rate can help save them money in interest payments. This is a good …

The Micro Community of Occupy Wall Street [Video]

The Occupy Wall Street movement is well into its second month. Thousands of people have joined together in New York City’s financial district to hold Wall Street and the corporate forces of the world accountable for their corrupt business practices and profiting from mass injustice made possible by severe income inequality.

Occupy Wall Street exemplifies what a real grassroots movement is and how it can thrive within our society that relies heavily on technology and social media. It is because of this that I have been able to diligently follow Occupy Wall Street on Twitter as well as watch the events unfolding within and around the peaceful protests on the ground via Livestream on multiple channels. It has been amazing to me to witness the thousands who have gathered in …

In Time for Labor Day, Gallup Finds Only 52% of Americans Approve of Labor Unions

Yesterday was Labor Day; a day that seems most appropriate to discuss the important work that labor unions have done throughout the years. In an extremely timely release, Gallup published their findings that just 52% of Americans are in favor of labor unions at the end of August. This is about the same percentage of people who were in favor last year, but is still nearly the lowest approval rate of labor unions since Gallup first began polling in 1936.

Fighting for and defending the rights of works is tough business, especially in recent years when labor unions have come under attack more and more frequently.

The topic of labor unions really made its way into most households during the Madison, Wisconsin protests. News outlets all over the country reported about the partisan political standoff …
