Getting a jump on the 2012 end-of-year list making.

Can’t really tell what some of the titles are. Can we get a list, por favor?

On today’s Fresh Air, Baratunde Thurston explains How To Be Black: “My version of being black adheres as much to the stereotypes as it dramatically breaks from them. And that’s probably true for most of you reading this: if not about blackness itself, then about something related to your identity. Through my story, I hope to expose you to another side of the black experience while offering practical, comedic advice based on my own painful lessons learned.”

Fraser Davidson, a London-based animator, created this video inspired by Bill Maher’s comparison of the economics of pro football and baseball. He brings a two-minute excerpt from the audio version of Maher’s book, The New New Rules, to life with a blend of 1950s-style sports imagery and Soviet-era graphics.

So, Bill Maher won’t be watching the Super Bowl on Sunday?

(Also, a warning: NSFW language.)

Billionaires giving each other brain damage should be a new Olympic sport…
