Description:


This hilarious cast of star philosophers will make you laugh while you think as they explore the moral conundrums, ridiculous paradoxes, and wild implications of Saturday Night Live 


Comedian-philosophers from Socrates to Sartre have always prodded and provoked us, critiquing our most sacred institutions and urging us to examine ourselves in the process. In Saturday Night Live and Philosophy, a star-studded cast of philosophers takes a close look at the śdeep thoughtsť beneath the surface of NBC™s award-winning late-night variety show and its hosts™ zany antics. In this book, philosophy and comedy join forces, just like the Ambiguously Gay Duo, to explore the meaning of life itself through the riffs and beats of the subversive parody that gives the show its razor-sharp wit and undeniable cultural and political significance. Our guest hosts raise some eyebrows with questions like:


Is Weekend Update Fake News?

Does SNL upset dominant paradigms or trap us in political bubbles?

When it comes to SNL, how can we tell the difference between satire, smart-assery, and seriousness?

Is the Ladies Man too stupid for moral responsibility?

What is the benefit of jokes that cause outrage?

The Church Lady has a bad case of moral superiority. How about you?

What can Wayne and Garth teach us about living a happy life?

Dogs love’em but too pricey
Flavor Name: Americana
Dogs really like them and I love the fresh ingredients but they are way too expensive for the amount of chips in the bag.

Impressive!
Pattern Name: Graceful(12 Sets)
These are very pretty looking off and on the face. The sticky backing can be tough to peel off without damaging things, my first attempt landed me with a destroyed sticker, be careful removing them from the film because i started with my finger and its very easy to accidentally rip the gems off the backing. I used a sewing pin to get under it and lift it up enough to grab it and it peels off easily after that, so definitelygive that a try so you dont learn the hard way like i did. Also it stayed on my face shockingly well for a good 10 hours. sweat made it a bit wiggly when it got really wet but even when it got soaked down I was able to just press or tap it back onto my face while drying my face with a fan and it sticks again 98% as well as a fresh one does once it's dryer, I was worried about sweating these off but I hardly had to check on or adjust them much once the sun set and things cooled off. The backing does a good job and you can't really see it behind the gems unless you're really tying to see it. I definitely don't regret buying these one bit and would recommend for others!

Gorgeous!!
Pattern Name: Noble(12 Sets)
These face jewels are the perfect addition to our Mardi Gras costumes every year! We choose color based on our theme for the year. They are easy to use, just peel and stick! You can mix and match or use as is! So many great options and they last for 12+ hours! We usually apply over makeup and no matter the weather (cold, hot, rain or wind) these jewels stick for hours! Price point it amazing!
