7. X is a sitcom that aired in the early 2000s. It was originally
named ‘Teenage Wasteland’ and then later ‘The Kids Are
Alright’ but both names were references to songs by The
Who, so there was a legal issue preventing the use.
One of the lead actors of show, in a comment wrote “The
truth is they kept testing the pilot with audiences, and no one
could remember the name of the show. They'd say...of all the
shows we watched, we liked that one show...with the kids?...
You know..X. And that is how the name was born.”

When Vox asked YouTube commenters to select a topic for a future video,
X fans organized on Reddit to storm the comments with requests to do a
video about “the lore of X.” YouTuber X lives up to his name — he creates
comedy that ignores taboos in order to shock (and delight) his loyal fans.
The nom de upload of musician George Miller, X is one of his many
characters that blow past the boundaries of good taste. As detailed in
carefully edited YouTube videos and scrupulously updated Wikia sites,
Miller’s videos have a mythology that spans multiple videos and

13. The original X was not a printed document. It was entirely handcrafted by the
artists of Shantiniketan under the guidance of Acharya Nandalal Bose, with the
calligraphy texts done by Prem Behari Narain Raizada in Delhi. This document is
now preserved in a special helium-filled case. At the beginning of each part of the
X, Nandalal Bose has depicted a phase or scene from India's national experience
and history.
The artwork and illustrations represent vignettes from the different periods of
history of the Indian subcontinent, ranging from Mohenjodaro in the Indus Valley,
the Vedic period, the Gupta and Maurya empires and the Mughal era to the

King of the Columnists and prince of hosts,
Hero of cats (twenty at least) who feed
Under your aegis, trencherman of toasts —
Scotch, naturally, not French — God knows we need
Humour and courage, tolerance and wit
When hope is scarce and murder’s blessed by prayer,
And every bully, oaf and hypocrite
Nurtures his flock on hatred and hot air.
Threats to your life have not made you less bold.
Sexcess can’t spoil you. May you scatter your words
Inimitably on for decades more —
No less amused and generous than your old
Grandmother, standing by the courtyard door,
Halting her prayers to feed and chide the birds.

with Vince McMahon had brought him to WWE.
However, a stunt to mark his arrival backfired when a fight featuring wrestlers
impersonating X and his real-life rival, Rosie O’Donnell, went badly, thus sparking
a feud that would come to be known as “The Battle of the Billionaires.”
In a meeting, X told McMahon “I’m taller than you, I'm better looking than
you—and I will kick your ass!”. X proceeded to promise to make McMahon "an
offer he couldn't refuse," with the pair agreeing to find guys to fight for them. X
suggested the idea of a so-called ‘hair match’. X said “As you know, I have quite
possibly the most famous head of hair in the world.”With both men famed for their
distinctive hairstyles, whoever’s wrestler lost had to shave their head.
The match took place at Wrestlemania 23 and resulted in the bald head of Vince

musician Y. X’s early songs evoked a style of psychedelic
rock but they kept shifting their sound. During a career
spanning more than 20 years, X earned critical acclaim from
critics and fellow musicians, developed a cult following, and
became an influence for new artists.However, their work
mostly stayed away from mainstream music, being described
by publications such as Classic Rock and PopMatters as
"the most important band you’d never heard of". Their most
famous song (arguably) shares its name with a Saint who

99. Graham Vivian Sutherland was a well respected English artist whose surreal
works with watercolours and oils established him as a leading modern artist.
Sutherland was commissioned to paint several portraits during the 1950s, but
perhaps the most famous was that of X. Sutherland spent months working from
the preliminary materials to create the final work on a large square canvas at his
studio. He didn’t give X any sneak peeks, as he wanted to capture who the real X
as he was, not merely in the way he wished to be portrayed. But when it was
unveiled, X and his family hated it.
The portrait should have hung in the House of Parliament after X’s death, but
when he finally accepted it it was taken to Chartwell. It was never displayed there
and never seen again.
Sonia Purnell wrote the biography of X’s wife and the hence fate of the portrait
was revealed in 2015. X’s wife had told her loyal secretary at Chartwell “we’ve got
to get rid of it”. Her secretary then with the help of her brother, burned the portrait
in a secret bonfire in the dead of the night, and the portrait became one of the
most famous lost works of art ever. ID X.

described Animals as a unique blend of the "powerful sounds and suggestive
themes" of Dark Side with The Wall's portrayal of artistic alienation.
He drew a parallel between the album's political themes and that of X. Animals
begins with a thought experiment, which asks: "If you didn't care what happened
to me. And I didn't care for you", then develops a beast fable based on
anthropomorphised characters using music to reflect the individual states of mind
of each. The lyrics ultimately paint a picture of dystopia, the inevitable result of a

115. Strictly speaking, a X is "a problematic situation for which the only solution is
denied by a circumstance inherent in the problem or by a rule." For example,
losing something is typically a conventional problem; to solve it, one looks for the
lost item until one finds it. But if the thing lost is one's glasses, one can't see to
look for them - a X. A few more examples: If the lights are out in a room, one can't
see to find the light switch. If one locks one's keys in one's car, it is not possible to
unlock the car to retrieve them. If one lacks work experience, one cannot get a job
to gain experience. If one doesn't have money, one can't invest to make money.

138. Jay-Z has been known for thinking outside of the box when it comes to his music videos. For his single
“Moonlight” from the album 4:44 he did a reimagining of X.The video featured an all star cast (Issa Rae,
Tiffany Haddish, Jerrod Carmichael, LaKeith Stanfield, Lil Rel Howery and Tessa Thompson) of
African-Americans re-enacting a specific scene from an episode of X, saying the exact same lines as the
original actors.
But the video takes a turn once the cast takes a break from filming. Carmichael wanders off to the side of
the stage, where comedian Hannibal Buress happens to be standing, and asks Buress what he thinks of
this exercise. Buress immediately scoffs, “It was terrible, man. It was wack as shit. It was just Y episodes
with black people. Who asked for that?” (whereas X is a lot more similar and probably inspired/copied
from the show Living Single which had an all black cast and premiered 13 months before X. But it never
got the same global push or popularity. Living Single still acts as a modern template for sitcoms)
“When they asked me to do it, I was like, ‘Okay, this is something that’s subversive, something that’ll turn
culture on its head,”
“You did a good job of subverting good comedy,” Buress replies. “You gonna do black Full House next?”
Then, as everyone else gets ready to keep rolling, the video breaks the multi-cam format to focus on
Carmichael, looking around the set and hating everything about it. It’s at this point, nearly five minutes
into the seven-minute video that Jay-Z’s “Moonlight” finally starts playing, his voice breathing that they’re
“stuck in La La Land; even when we win, we gon’ lose.” (+30/-15, +20/0)

moves, obsessively symmetrical compositions, knolling, snap-zooms, slow-motion
walking shots, a deliberately limited color palette, and hand-made art direction
often utilizing miniatures. Many writers, critics, and even X himself, have
commented that this gives his movies the feel of being "self-contained worlds", or
a "scale model household"

154. Ligne claire (French for "clear line") is a style of drawing. It
uses clear strong lines of uniform importance. Artists working
in it do not use hatching, while contrast is downplayed as
well. Cast shadows are often illuminated while a uniformity of
line is used throughout, paying equal attention to every
element depicted. Additionally, the style often features strong
colours and a combination of cartoonish characters against a
realistic background. All these elements together can result in
giving strips drawn this way a flat aspect. The name was
coined by Joost Swarte in 1977. Where have you seen this

Shakespeare's play Hamlet, X is Hamlet's answer to
Claudius's inquiry about the name of the play whose prologue
and first scene the court has just observed (III, ii). The play is
actually The Murder of Gonzago, but Hamlet answers
metaphorically, since "the play's the thing" in which he intends

175. Five months before he began working on X, animator Gabe Hordos adopted a cat from
the humane society in L.A. Hordos had never owned pets before so his first attempts at
friendship with the red tabby were difficult, mostly because the cat had been abused by
its previous owners.
Hordos decided to take a wait-and-see approach and hoped the cat, who he named
Stufen, would come to him. Stufen eventually did warm up to Hordos and he worked
many of his cat's characteristics into Y, a character in X.
