Green Room - Week 33 - Day 4

I was reading an article about a debate on Affirmative Action at the University of Wisconsin, and in it, they brought up this case:

Having read it, I find myself deeply, deeply disturbed about the implications:

Venom ISN’T “the black Spider-man”! (that would be Donald Glover)

He’s an alien symbiote!

Maybe it wasn’t racist, but rather a specific hatred of Venom! I know that I, personally, have never been fond of the character! I’m pretty sure that hanging wouldn’t do anything to him though, he’d just slip out of it!

So, these “frat boys” weren’t too intelligent about going about trying to get rid of him. I guess there weren’t any bell towers around!

It’s not until these sorts of things are addressed that we will truly have an equal society where we… what’s that? Oh, that wasn’t the point? Nevermind… carry on…

And while you are carrying on… make sure to get your entries in: http://therealljidol.livejournal.com/583847.html

Vote - Week 33

A few words from clauderainsrm:

I know some people were wondering how the two topics were going to work this week. It’s a decent question, and I’ll get right to answering it!

The polls are divided by topic. In each poll, the bottom two vote-getters will be eliminated. UNLESS, those at the bottom in the second poll would have already been eliminated in the first poll....

Meaning that we are losing four contestants, regardless. If the same two contestants are at the bottom in both polls, they can only be eliminated once!

Honestly - I don’t think that the same two contestants should be on the bottom, based on what I’ve seen of the entries! I think it’s going to be a tough decision.

The Jury, out there, waiting to hand out the all-important immunity - that adds another wrinkle to keeping things interesting! :)

So, there you go - we are losing four contestants. Two from each poll. The polls close Thursday, July 12th at 9pm EDT

There is a lot of great stuff out there. I highly encourage everyone to read it all! You won’t be disappointed! And when you do, tell a friend about the entries you enjoyed so they can come on over and read it as well!

Good luck to everyone!
