The clip seems to be satirizing the Republicans again. It seems that purpose of the money for planned parenthood is for other programs other than abortion clinics. Republicans want to cut it because they say it is in business for profit. They're cutting child nutrition and women care. Meanwhile John Stewart is making a joke about the republicans by saying yes they're making profit from Abortion Clinics Concessions not the abortion itself.
When everyone hears Minnesota and mall in the same sentence, they automatically think of Mall of America. Now I've never been there but I doubt there is any kind of abortion centers. It doesn't mean that there isn't a chance of an abortion center there but its unlikely. When they use the word "express" abortion centers, it seems like they've lost their mind. I'm not really sure how the process work but I can guarantee that it takes longer than 30 minutes or even a day to do it. I mean it's impossible to do it in a safe fast way unless its like the video I posted below.
Mike Pence is saying that what planned parenthood said is "technically true" because he doesn't want to acknowledge that its "true". He is saying that the money they receive is technically for abortion because they also have a budget but by using the money they receive for that program, they have extra money to pay their staff and supplies.
I don't really find it offensive. I think the Daily Show is just trying to find humor in controversial things. It's a form of entertainment. Maybe women might find this more offensive than men because they can relate to it more. I just found this funny video about how Oklahoma doctors can now perform a fake abortion. By the way this is an Onion news network video which are fake.

Dear Governor Nathan Deal,
I understand that the state is running out of money but I believe education is very important for the future economy in Georgia. The new Hope Scholarship proposal is ridiculous! I mean you could have cut fundings for other things rather than increasing limits on the GPA qualifications for HOPE. The HOPE scholarship is what made students who couldn't afford to go to college attend college for the first time. Without it, I doubt that Georgia can retain at least seventy percent of the current student population. Imagine how devastating this would have an effect on Georgia's education and the graduation rates will drop off a cliff. The 10% that students require to pay may not seem alot but add on books, mandatory fees, and food is alot. I hope you understand where I'm coming from as a GSU Freshmen. I look forward to graduating here in Georgia but if this bill pass, many students including me would rather move out of state for school.
Sincerely,
Andy Nguyen

Students are now protesting about these changes. As students, we understand the economic standpoint on this controversial issue, but education is first. There are protests and marches on March 7th and 8th at the State Capitol. Send a letter to our senators and demand change!

I thought that the title was a little misleading but then once we finished watching the movie, it made more sense. The title kind of mean how Thierry was able to sell all of his stuff through the "gift shop" exhibit. He basically did art to make money and not really to express himself like Banksy did. His art exhibit was hidden as a gift shop. Theirry made millions off of paintings that were photoshopped and printed and I thought that was cheating. I say cheating because Banksy and the other street artists arts were from their minds and Theirry instead photoshopped pictures. At the end of the movie, I thought that Theirry really was trying to become rich instead of really expressing himself.
I thought that it was a great inspirational film even though Theirry was making millions of photoshopped pictures. It also made me re-think about the graffiti around Atlanta. Everytime I see graffiti, I think about gangs. Maybe its not really gang related after all. It's just how some people are expressing themselves!
