This week's infoMania, Obama and McCain go at it, VH1 premiered Rock of Love Charm School and we explore the other side of the Sarah Palin obsession. Target Women throws Disney princesses a 30th birthday bash, Sergio's White Hot Top 5 looks at the top adult contemporary songs, This Week in Media takes a look at the financial crisis and Tech Report heads to video game convention E3. Explore with us what makes America so great, be it HGTV or the World's pizza eating championship.
infoMania is a half-hour satirical news show that airs on Current TV. The show puts a comedic spin on the 24-hour chaos and information overload brought about by the constant bombardment of the media. Hosted by Conor Knighton and co-starring Brett Erlich, Sarah Haskins, Ben Hoffman, and Sergio Cilli, the show airs on Thursdays at 10 pm Eastern and Pacific Times and can be found online at current.com/infomania.

Forget Joe the plumber, what about Bill the terrorists. not all terrorists have the money of bin Laden or Georgie Bush,most are just hard working slobs trying to put food on the table, pay the rent and buying alarm clocks. Does Bill not bleed, does he not rate the same consideration as Joe the plumber, who will probably charge me $60 for a $2 part. Fair is fair.

No new show this week, but I promise we're not slacking... Everyone is spending this week working on making next Thursday's INFOMANIA ELECTION SPECIAL extra super awesome. 10pm, Thursday the 30th, on Current TV (or online @ current.com/infomania). Get psyched.

If anyone's in the NYC area, there's an exhibit by artist Ghada Amer at the Brooklyn Museum (ends this weekend though) that has some nice pieces depicting the Disney Princesses and how they're sexualized, further enforcing gender stereotypes for little girls. Abstract art done in embroidery!
Get 'em while they're young.

I think it's time for "Ben Tech" and "Joe Gets" to have a total paintball smackdown.
Sarah? Just a few precious minutes with you makes me want to smoke an entire pack of "Spirits" in your honor.
Sergio and Brett make a disturbingly comfortable "bromance" while Conor still reigns supreme in the looking bemused category.
Great episode, "ya long eared varmints"! - 3 years ago

Bear Force One! Where else is there cultural coverage like this?
Great show...even though watching the Disney princesses is kind of like watching Trauma Formation 101. You can't be a cartoon, unfortunately, and the bluebirds don't perch on your finger. And let's not even discuss cartoon hair versus reality.

Can someone tell me how can Obama place ads on video games while totally ignoring the problem of Malaysia stricken video game characters?
