Brooklyn 9-9’s Parks and Rec Character Analogs In his positive review of Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Matt Zoller Seitz wrote, "The biggest apparent influence is The Office, which the loose camerawork and improv-flavored dialogue sometimes recall." And though we agree, we couldn’t help thinking about the other sitcom Brooklyn Nine-Nine's creators (Dan Goor and Michael Schur) worked on: Parks and Recreation. Specifically, it feels like when creating B99's characters, the writers started with those of Parks and worked from there. These two might be the most similar. Detective Jake Peralta = Leslie Jake and Leslie end up having a good number of similarities just because they're the protagonists. Detective Charles Boyle = Andy Dumb guys! Detective Rosa Diaz = April They are dark, intense, angry women of few words. Sergeant Terry Jeffords = Chris Both are in the best shape in the world, yet have a constant fear of dying. Administrator Gina Linetti = Donna Gina seems to fill the role Donna has more recently on Parks. They even have a Jerry!

The Experience Festival Inspiration and Reference sites It is easy to forget that as a concept artist, you have to constantly be thinking creatively and pushing new ideas to create something new and original. And like most concept artists, we like to think that all of our ideas are unique and different than what’s being pushed to the mass market. But it’s okay to use something you saw in a movie, at a clothes store, or something that another artist has made and then use that in your own piece. Now I’m not saying that you should directly take another’s work as your own. Plus you will are bound to find something that inspires and intrigues you. So here is a list of some of the many resource sites out there: Like many artists starting out, my first online art resource I stumbled on was deviantArt.com. This next site is a bit more professional and while the range of topics isn’t as wide as Deviantart, it makes up with the amount of quality that almost all the pieces have.
W. Kamau Bell: ‘Bill O’Reilly, go eat your own d**k’ By Scott KaufmanFriday, September 13, 2013 15:35 EDT W. Kamau Bell on Thursday night attacked Fox News host Bill O’Reilly for sending a clueless correspondent to a “Muslim convention.” Bell noted that the Muslims in the video were understandingly flustered, because they didn’t go to a “Muslim convention” to talk to him, but “to get away from Fox News.” He then went on to list the many examples of Christian terrorism that have helped define the United States, most notably the cross-burning and lynching of the KKK.
