The 'Pantless Knights'(1) recently used the music of Jay-Z's "What can I say"
Before he died, they wrote the lyrics -a tribute to the former Apple C.E.O.
This video clip parodies a rap song : "We are all Steve" spoof rap is full with rythm and... vocabulary too ! Its lyrics review various products created by Steve Jobs and highlight his supremacy in the computer science market..
Can you spot 2 visual details that make all the video clip characters look like Steve Jobs ?
A little help ? These details are part of their clothes !
(1) : The 'Pantless Knights' are a group of American comedians

This 03'15" cartoon is taken from "Bowling for Columbine",
Michael Moore's film about gun violence in the U.S.A. & its roots.
This animated film was created by the authors of "South Park" (Trey Parker & Matt Stone). It caricatures the reasons why the Americans have often been scared throughout their history. The animation was an effective and funny means of explaining how deep gun violence is rooted in the history of the USA : that's why Michael Moore inserted it into his film. Click on the PDF logo ⇓ to get a worksheet that will help you decode this brief US history by Michael Moore : 
______________________________________________
Thanks indeed to Sophie Osmont,
the colleague who created the worksheet.

The timeline below shows various American TV series
that can be watched also in France -until December 2012 :
Lots of them are rather famous in France : you probably already know many of them, as "Dexter", "Medium", "NCIS", or...
Their quality varies -of course- but some of them are quite interesting : provided you view the "MULTILINGUAL" version whenever you are allowed to, watching these programmes in English will help you... improve your English !
You can put the subtitles on, which also helps you understand the series. And now... have a nice programme ! :-)
