...This struck him as funny, and he spent a year visiting dog shows. The director - who appears in his film as a bloodhound owner who really wants to be a ventriloquist - is also into technique. "In the last 10 years," he says, "film has become very unspontaneous, whether it's using digital technology or being very storyboarded. This is the other end of the spectrum. Yes, it is just people talking, but that is just as exciting to me as a big wave...
...album The Marshall Mathers LP (Aftermath/Interscope). The old take on white rappers (circa the 15-min.-long Vanilla Ice era) was that they were, for the most part, whites who wanted to be black. But the new breed of white rappers--guys like Eminem, Kid Rock and the punkish Bloodhound Gang--is proudly white, and they tell you all about it on their songs (Kid Rock's new album, The History of Rock, boasts a track titled Born to Be a Hick). Frantz Fanon's Black Skin, White Masks famously explored black identity; the book on the new crop...

But don't be fooled. In his let's-trade-one-offensive-stereotype-for-the-other defense of the video, Pop (presumably no relation to Iggy) claimed to Britain's NME that it wasn't an attack on gay men. "They weren't gay men, they were...
...then the Bloodhound Gang hasn't exactly been a model of ethnic sensitivity. To quote "Yellow Fever," off the One Fierce Beer Coaster album, "Cause I ride my slant-eyed slope like a brand new Kawasaki/Oh me chinky she's so kinky got me hot like Nagasaki." Best form of protest for a group that seems to like controversy? Don't write letters, just leave the dance floor every time you hear any of their songs. And pull your friends...
