1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. Write an introduction to an informative and factual blog post titled "BuzzFeed Animals Spoofs Lion King". Lions are not scary. They're majestic, beautiful, ferocious animals at the center of a story about humanity's need for redemption. And while it's easy to make humor of something that doesn't make you feel afraid or threatened on some level, the effects of cultural appropriation are real and shouldn't be taken lightly. BuzzFeed immediately knew they were in trouble when they posted this meme of a lion telling the story about his life while eating pizza crusts and drinking sodas — and all their excuses after that didn't stop people from criticizing them for it. Hundreds of people were quick to call them out for cultural appropriation, including Tumblr user reneemarie, who wrote this in response to an apology post from the BuzzFeed Animals account: "How are you going to make fun of something that's dear to me? How are you going to say you're sorry when I see it as another excuse for you to insult my culture. I'm sick and tired of seeing everything be treated like a joke in your articles. You pick on things that are important at their core because they're interesting in some way. But instead of seeing the deeper meanings behind them, you'll use their cultural significance as a punchline. It's disgusting and condescending. And I'm tired of seeing it." This post is a thorough explanation on why BuzzFeed Animals' actions were culturally appropriative. 9. 10. Design an online survey to be taken by the public that would help you determine your final video essay's topic. The results will be used to support your findings in the video essay, proving that there is interest in the subject you are choosing to develop into a video essay. Keep in mind whether or not this topic is specific enough for you to make reference to in your essay without providing too many details about it (such as the actual results). Create a video essay with at least two supporting videos, one photo of evidence, and an optional audio clip of evidence discussing gender roles in art. There have been many historical examples of women being objectified in art that demonstrate the problem of these sorts of gender roles. This video essay takes a look at how women are commonly portrayed as sex symbols in pieces of contemporary art. The Playlist is a blog on BuzzFeed created by Buzzfeed Motion Pictures' video team. The content posted consists mostly of motivational or helpful posts alongside some pop-culture references to films or TV shows. The site was created on April 14, 2013 and has since grown rapidly. 8eeb4e9f32 23
