The Office is getting outsourced. Get Social, a new web series from Singapore, lifts the dry sensibility and buttoned-down setting from the popular workplace comedy and transplants them to a Singaporean startup specializing in new media marketing. Get Social stars George Young as Leonard Lee, the David Brent/Michael Scott figure at Rofl, a social media marketing company. Like his British and American counterparts, Leonard is crass, rude, self-absorbed, and completely ignorant when it comes to running a business. Still, he is the boss, and his two co-workers must put up with his vain behavior. The series is split into 20 five minute installments, which can be accessed through the Singapore-based xinmsn MSN platform. What makes Get Social more than just an Office clone is its smartly constructed 21st century setting.

"The concern is she is not doing her parliamentary duty and serving...

The notion of a music producer is a relatively foreign one to most fans of popular music. While the rough understanding of how a Film Director gets their job done is old hat to even the most superficial of movie fans, the equivalent role in music production is often shrouded in mystery. As even die-hard rock fans who was behind the boards for the early hits for, say, AC-dc, they may well draw a blank. While Harry Vanda and George Young aren't exactly household names, there's also the fact that the band's later producer, "Mutt" Lange, is more widely known for his marriage to Shania Twain, at least for casual audiences.For every Phil Spector there's a Tom Wilson, both incredibly important in the history of...

Charles Dickens’ detractors blame his often-florid style on the original method in which he published many of his novels, in serialized, paid-by-the-word newspaper installments. Colin Harrison’s seventh novel, Risk, first published in The New York Times Magazine, gives the lie to presumptions about what the serial can do. The form may be due for a reinstatement if it produces more books like this energetic tale of an unlikely private investigator. An insurance lawyer whose career is solid but unexciting, George Young is summoned to the scene of a several-weeks-old accidental death only at the behest of the widow of ...
