Topic: Spike Magazine


In the News (Sat 28 Nov 09)

  
  Spike Magazine \\ History
The focus of the magazine in these years was on the college; it would seem that the rivalry with the Phoenix began in earnest from the get-go, as the Spike reporter’s beat at the Essie Mae snack bar was in conflict with the traditional paper’s territory.
To wit: a small rodent of a canine graces Spike’s second issue, appropriately entitled “Doggie!” Strath Haven got a taste of the Spike treatment when a journalistic maverick went undercover to report from the trenches of the hell that is public high school.
The most daring piece of investigative journalism to appear on the magazine’s pages was a product of these early days; it was noteworthy not only for its boldness, but also for the near disastrous consequences it had for the magazine.

  Pam's House Blend
Director Spike Lee recently spoke in Toronto and said enough is enough with the "pimp/ho" arm of hip hop's effect on fl students, which glorifies bling and a piece of *ss over education.
Spike Lee now joins the increasing number of voices that are seeing the wrong influences rewarded in the fl community, and promoted by corporations that rake in the bucks off of the image.
The magazine is the first powerful presence in the fl media with the courage to examine the cultural pollution that is too often excused because of the wealth it brings to knuckleheads and amoral executives.

 Bury your head in it - smh.com.au
It's tough launching a new magazine, although Spike suspects a glossy devoted to the ins and outs of funerals has plenty of life in it.
But Spike's favourite article was the informative piece about what to serve at a wake, covering everything from a snappy "cocktail party" to a more sombre "tea and scones" affair.
Spike was keen to confront Collins about that persistent rumour he will run for lord mayor of Sydney later this year against Lucy Turnbull, wife of his former Liberal colleague Malcolm Turnbull.

 Commentary Magazine - Spike Lee Fever   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
In sharp contrast to the hyperventilated reception that has greeted Spike Lee's new movie Jungle Fever in the bien-pensant national press, the American fls I have questioned confess privately that they hate it.
...Spike Lee, who owes something of his initial launching to the Best New Director's Award he won at the Cannes film festival in 1986 with his first movie, She's Gotta Have It, stormed out of the most recent Cannes festival with charges of racism when Jungle Fever failed to win the Golden Palm...
...Spike Lee's assumptions are far more hostile, and if he ever calls for laughter it is of an entirely different sort...

Magazine Trophy prize and do intend to give that out in my leagues.
If Fan Favourite is only used by a TEAM who wins the Spike tourney then it REALLY is not a skill and should not be listed in the skill section.
It would be perfectly adequate for a line to be placed in the Spike Trophy section to explain that the holding team gets +1FAMe (and in fact would make it simpler for the coach as he wouldn't then have to look up the 'skill' in a whole different section).

 We Like Spike
Spike, of UPN's Buffy the Vampire Slayer, is kind of a Byronic character: He walks in beauty like the night of cloudless climes and starry skies and all that's best of dark and bright is in his aspect and his eyes.
Basically, Spike may be a mass murderer who attempted to rape Buffy, with whom he has been having what could most accurately be characterized as a passionate off-again/off-again relationship.
Women who love Spike condemn the attempted rape, but we know he is doing what he can to atone: "If you have to apologize for trying to rape someone, the best way is by going away to get a soul," says Leah.

 'Spike' pokes at Hong Kong | csmonitor.com
Vines, a well-known Hong Kong media figure, who says his weekly magazine is founded upon a democratic spirit that emerged during last summer's protests - when a half-million demonstrators, including bankers, lawyers, and doctors, marched against antisubversion laws that would curb free expression.
