Feb. 14th Writing Assignment

"Spiderman was the coolest guy on the planet." How can anybody actually think Spiderman is the coolest guy on the planet? He can not even fly, if you can not fly then there is no way you can possibly be the coolest guy on the planet. I am not saying it would not be cool to be able to shoot out webs from you wrist and jump from building to building, but if that is all you have to offer as a super hero then that just is not going to cut it. If you want to talk about the coolest guys on the planet then I am going to have to say it has to be Captain Planet. The was so cool that he didn't ever have to inflict pain on the bad guys to take them down. He was able to do so instead by using his intelligence and unbelievable strength instead. Another reason as to why Captain Planet was so cool was because everything he did would in some shape or form help out the environment. Captain Planet is like the ultimate superhero because he not only was always able to defeat the bad guy but at the same time was able to keep the world safe from harmful things such as, toxic wastes, smog, acid rain, and other pollutants.

Ghost Ride It by Mistah FAB

"Ghost Ride It" by Mistah FAB is definitely one of the more unique videos I have ever seen before. It is a rap/hip-hop song that is a spin off of the forever popular "Ghost Busters" theme song. The main idea of the video is for Mistah FAB to explain to white people on how to, as it says in the lyrics, "Let me give you a 101 on how to ghost ride". For those of you who do not know what the term "ghost ride your whip" means, I will explain. Your "whip" is referring to one's car and "ghost riding" is referring to when the driver puts the car in drive and lets it slowly roll down the street. As this is occurring the driver and the passengers get out of the moving vehicle and begin to dance along side and/or on top of the car. Now the car is moving down the street with no one behind the wheel and that is why it is called "ghost riding", because it is insinuating that a ghost is driving the car. One of reasons I like this video is because it is pretty funny and entertaining. There is one part of the video where Mistah FAB is talking in front of a group of people, which I think are supposed to be the "ghost riding" class, and some dorky white guy with glasses, a bow tie, and suspenders stands up and asks Mistah FAB "What's ghost riding?" in a really funny and nerdy voice. Something else I thought was pretty sweet about the video was when there were a bunch of people who were riding in a awesome and customized yellow bus. It is definitely the only bus I have and most likely will ever see with rims and hydraulics on it. Overall the song is quite catchy and the video is entertaining.
