"headTitle": "KQED Pop | KQED Arts",
"content": "\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Last month, much to the frothy anticipation of comic book fans, Netflix released the Marvel web series Jessica Jones. If you're an early adopter -- or even if you just like reading entertainment news -- you know the basics: Jessica is a private eye in NYC with superhero tendencies, PTSD, and a liver designed for whiskey. The show is set in the present, but follows the typical '50s detective noir motif of an alcoholic anti-hero digging up dirt in a metropolis. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The twist? The show continuously subverts gender norms, and places the female protagonist in a role of kick-ass prowess. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">A few of her predecessors, Xena and Buffy Summers, were instant cult heroine classics. They taught the little girls of the '90s to throw witticisms into the face of danger, whether at a king dead-set on killing a baby fated to dethrone him, or a boyfriend who turns evil after the first time you two have sex. It's tough to tell right now whether Jones will be an influential cult hit -- she has a dark side that’s hard to stomach. What we \u003cem>can\u003c/em> do is figure out where she fits on the echelon of supernatural female badassery.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">First off: all three shows place a huge emphasis on female friendships.

If you're an early adopter -- or even if you just like reading entertainment news -- you know the basics: Jessica is a private eye in NYC with superhero tendencies, PTSD, and a liver designed for whiskey. The show is set in the present, but follows the typical '50s detective noir motif of an alcoholic anti-hero digging up dirt in a metropolis. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The twist? The show continuously subverts gender norms, and places the female protagonist in a role of kick-ass prowess. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">A few of her predecessors, Xena and Buffy Summers, were instant cult heroine classics. They taught the little girls of the '90s to throw witticisms into the face of danger, whether at a king dead-set on killing a baby fated to dethrone him, or a boyfriend who turns evil after the first time you two have sex. It's tough to tell right now whether Jones will be an influential cult hit -- she has a dark side that’s hard to stomach. What we \u003cem>can\u003c/em> do is figure out where she fits on the echelon of supernatural female badassery.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">First off: all three shows place a huge emphasis on female friendships. Xena’s sidekick Gabrielle helps Xena pursue the greater good with her maternal instincts, naivete, and sarcastic comebacks. She’s Xena’s moral compass and strategical mind when a roundhouse kick and screaming “ayi-ayi-ayee” just won’t cut it.

The Great Bieber Rebrand of 2015 will likely be studied by breathless PR apprentices for years to come, as well it should be.

SF City Attorney Dennis Herrera's office, for example, was probably not bumping \u003cem>Purpose (\u003c/em>which \u003ca href=\"http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/6814157/justin-bieber-purpose-million-seller\" target=\"_blank\">just went platinum\u003c/a>) when it issued a letter on Dec. 28, addressed to heads of Def Jam and Universal Music Group, blasting the \"illegal guerilla marketing stunt\" that accompanied the album -- a.k.a. the Bieber graffiti that began showing up on San Francisco sidewalks in the weeks before the album dropped in November.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_19641\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 400px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-19641\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2015/12/bieber-graffiti-2-400x225.png\" alt=\"#BURN\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2015/12/bieber-graffiti-2-400x225.png 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2015/12/bieber-graffiti-2-800x450.png 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2015/12/bieber-graffiti-2-768x432.png 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2015/12/bieber-graffiti-2.png 876w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">#BURN\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>From a\u003ca href=\"http://www.sfcityattorney.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/SF-V-BIEBER-PRESSKIT.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"> press release posted by Herrera's office\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Herrera, who called the graffiti vandalism “illegal and actionable” in a letter today to executives from Def Jam Records and Universal Music Group, vowed to “aggressively pursue all available penalties and costs from those responsible for lawless marketing tactics that intend to financially benefit your respective companies.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco Public Works has for weeks responded to neighborhood complaints about the stenciled ads, which have otherwise persisted undiminished through several rainstorms. Unlike other recent instances of illegal sidewalk advertising that was chalk-based, according to Herrera’s letter, the Bieber-related graffiti appears to have been applied with permanent spray paint. Such defiant guerrilla marketing tactics have become an increasingly unwelcome sight to many San Francisco residents, according to their reactions on social media, in published news accounts, and in complaints to City officials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“....This prohibited marketing practice illegally exploits our City’s walkable neighborhoods and robust tourism; intentionally creates visual distractions that pose risks to pedestrians on busy rights of way; and irresponsibly tells our youth that likeminded lawlessness and contempt for public property are condoned and encouraged by its beneficiaries—including Mr. Bieber and the record labels that produce and promote him.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The letter does not, unfortunately, address how criminally sad it is for a major corporate media conglomerate to attempt to ply consumers into associating a mainstream-in-every-sense-of-the-term pop star with subversive \"street\" values, but perhaps that goes unspoken? Herrera does add that he has successfully fought back against \"virtually identical\" infractions from \"IBM, NBC Universal, Turner Broadcasting and Zynga\" over the past 15 years.

The Great Bieber Rebrand of 2015 will likely be studied by breathless PR apprentices for years to come, as well it should be. How a guy went from \u003ca href=\"http://www.cnn.com/2014/01/23/showbiz/justin-bieber-arrest/\" target=\"_blank\">professional punchline\u003c/a> to topping professional critics' end\u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2015/12/15/arts/music/the-best-songs-of-2015.html\" target=\"_blank\">-of-the-year lists\u003c/a> is a public image redemption arc for the ages.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Except that not everyone is won over so easily. SF City Attorney Dennis Herrera's office, for example, was probably not bumping \u003cem>Purpose (\u003c/em>which \u003ca href=\"http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/6814157/justin-bieber-purpose-million-seller\" target=\"_blank\">just went platinum\u003c/a>) when it issued a letter on Dec. 28, addressed to heads of Def Jam and Universal Music Group, blasting the \"illegal guerilla marketing stunt\" that accompanied the album -- a.k.a. the Bieber graffiti that began showing up on San Francisco sidewalks in the weeks before the album dropped in November.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_19641\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 400px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-19641\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2015/12/bieber-graffiti-2-400x225.png\" alt=\"#BURN\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2015/12/bieber-graffiti-2-400x225.png 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2015/12/bieber-graffiti-2-800x450.png 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2015/12/bieber-graffiti-2-768x432.png 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2015/12/bieber-graffiti-2.png 876w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">#BURN\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>From a\u003ca href=\"http://www.sfcityattorney.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/SF-V-BIEBER-PRESSKIT.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"> press release posted by Herrera's office\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Herrera, who called the graffiti vandalism “illegal and actionable” in a letter today to executives from Def Jam Records and Universal Music Group, vowed to “aggressively pursue all available penalties and costs from those responsible for lawless marketing tactics that intend to financially benefit your respective companies.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco Public Works has for weeks responded to neighborhood complaints about the stenciled ads, which have otherwise persisted undiminished through several rainstorms. Unlike other recent instances of illegal sidewalk advertising that was chalk-based, according to Herrera’s letter, the Bieber-related graffiti appears to have been applied with permanent spray paint. Such defiant guerrilla marketing tactics have become an increasingly unwelcome sight to many San Francisco residents, according to their reactions on social media, in published news accounts, and in complaints to City officials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“....This prohibited marketing practice illegally exploits our City’s walkable neighborhoods and robust tourism; intentionally creates visual distractions that pose risks to pedestrians on busy rights of way; and irresponsibly tells our youth that likeminded lawlessness and contempt for public property are condoned and encouraged by its beneficiaries—including Mr. Bieber and the record labels that produce and promote him.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The letter does not, unfortunately, address how criminally sad it is for a major corporate media conglomerate to attempt to ply consumers into associating a mainstream-in-every-sense-of-the-term pop star with subversive \"street\" values, but perhaps that goes unspoken? Herrera does add that he has successfully fought back against \"virtually identical\" infractions from \"IBM, NBC Universal, Turner Broadcasting and Zynga\" over the past 15 years. Those actions did not, you will note, make for such fun headlines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The PG-13-rated show features six comics performing in nine cities around the Bay and tackles some of the 2015’s most lurid news stories from the Hillary Clinton email scandal to Pope Francis’s meeting with the controversial Kentucky county clerk Kim Davis in the wake of her refusal to issue marriage licenses to gay couples.\u003c/p>\n\n",

But sometimes laughter is the best antidote in tough times, and comedian Will Durst and his friends aim to inject a little lightheartedness into New Year’s Eve as a way to cheerfully boot the year gone by out the door. The PG-13-rated show features six comics performing in nine cities around the Bay and tackles some of the 2015’s most lurid news stories from the Hillary Clinton email scandal to Pope Francis’s meeting with the controversial Kentucky county clerk Kim Davis in the wake of her refusal to issue marriage licenses to gay couples.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
