"No Problem" argues yes, both in the direct sense that it's an absolute banger that captures the purest pop essence of all of Chance's gospel-juke fusion impulses and in a winking fashion, by featuring two of the most reliable radio feature artists of the last decade, 2 Chainz and Lil Wayne.

The Scam is a scam, and its winking self-referentiality serves in the end to do nothing much more than to gloss over that it is, in fact, a scam, perpetuated by someone who, probably like a lot of the people who attended the event, has a hard time meeting their rent.

Polls show that the vast majority of Americans disapprove of the president's tweeting, and in focusing on that one aspect of Trump's presidency, Paisley and Underwood were essentially winking at the potential for controversy without actively courting it, a canny balancing act that took into account the nature of their venue and audience.

" The problem is that "he's not running a modern campaign, but has instead dusted off an old playbook, one in which his support of mass incarceration, his grilling of Anita Hill, his defense of the Hyde Amendment, maybe even his winking affection for Old Southern Dixiecrats, would have been overlooked -- acceptable even -- instead of disqualifying.

If he is going to back down on, say, banning anyone from entering the United States who doesn't share "American values," only he will be able to communicate that — and he will have to communicate it unequivocally, without winking or hinting that he'd really prefer it if federal employees quietly started doing it anyway.

Switching from a winking humor, Ray goes on to consider how social media can affect young people's wellbeing—a point raised earlier this year by a small survey of 14- to 24-year-old Brits, which found that the 1,400 people surveyed pinpointed Instagram as the worst social media platform for their mental health.

Simmons's status as a winking sphincter is not particularly controversial among the proudly enlisted soldiers of the KISS Army––his own son wrote a piece for VICE a couple years back lovingly declaring him "full of shit"––but the fact that he is an asshole is part of the fun of being a KISS fan.

Perhaps the most daunting barrier to entry for aspiring esports fans—and undue burden on the players—is the sundry competitions, a dazzling array of ersatz contests and leagues going off, overlapping, and winking out like fireworks displays, owned and operated by independent third-party organizers lacking in the rigid structure imposed upon traditional sports.

Liquid striped men's wear suiting was paired with elongated chiffon shirts in a contrasting stripe left to flow out the back; white satin slip-dresses draped on one side to reveal a cowl lined in black; and pencil skirts slit to one thigh paired with bibbed tuxedo shirts winking sheer at the back and sides.

He's also the heir to Bruce Lee: If Lee broke old stereotypes about the Asian man being frail and craven, then Chan reinvented him once more, offering across dozens of movies a consistent character who was almost childlike in his cheerfulness, known as much for his winking smile as for the fury of his fists.

And while it and the rest of the songs the Lonely Island wrote for the film are just as sharp and winking as ever, there's something lost in translation between their music videos — which can tell the full story of a song in fantastically funny visual details — and the spectacle of Conner4Real's hyperbolic stadium tour.

Sheri Linden, The Hollywood Reporter: One of the most surprising things about Thor: Ragnarok is that it forgoes the umlaut in the title — that winking diacritical mark would have been a nifty signal of the movie's tongue-in-cheek attitude toward its mythology, a comic stance that makes Thor's third outing his breeziest by far.

With its winking drug references, surreal humor and macabre music video — not to mention its instantly hummable chorus, given added punch by the producer Rick Rubin at the height of his powers — the song slid into Billboard's Top 20, appeared frequently on MTV and handily reaffirmed Mr. Petty and the Heartbreakers' place at rock's forefront.

The crass messages between Stone and Credico jolted the normally staid courtroom setting, while other evidence illustrated the degree to which Stone was in touch with Trump's campaign during the peak of the 20163 election when the Republican provocateur was bragging and winking about WikiLeaks' plans to dump emails that would roil the Clinton campaign.

In "Sin Ti," a song about a sudden infatuation, she whispers insistent endearments in a catchy, extremely canny production by David Ciente that hops all over the Latin map: dembow verses and flamenco-tinged acoustic guitar in the chorus, with bits of sampled vocals and fleeting string-section phrases winking in and out of earshot.

What a reader has to conclude coming to the end of the poem, is that meaning is a fugitive thing, sometimes here, and sometimes there, winking in and out of existence, and perhaps most recognizable in the moments when it is entangled with the signifiers it has long been associated with: written language, human faces.

Perhaps because they were, with the exception of Juvenile, literally teenage boys, the Hot Boys decided to use that movie soundtrack backing to the effect of writing a sexually graphic situational comedy (can't you just imagine the cartoonishly shot scene of Wayne running out of Kisha's house and winking at Turk as Turk walks in?).

Take a look at this clip from Tapper's January 31 show, in which he played a winking straight man responding to footage of White House press secretary Sean Spicer incoherently insisting that Trump's executive order on immigration isn't a "ban," despite Trump himself using that term over and over again: "It seems odd though," Tapper mused with faux concern.

Like winking ghosts from a Dickens novel, their existence is only confirmed when they occasionally dust off their trilbies, emerge from the city's shadowy back alleys where they've been lingering, coughing up soot, to do an impromptu performance in a skaggy old North London pub that smells like sweat, centuries worth of ash and rusty old harmonicas.

If you've heard the 22-year-old Richmond, Virginia singer's debut, 2016's No Burden, you know why—the album opened with Rolling Stone's 17th best song of the year, "I Don't Wanna Be Funny Anymore," an exceptionally apt calling card for her songwriting personality, winking yet grounded by some small, sad and unspecified weight she's carrying.

It was during their trip to Frogmore House — where Harry swapped out his British Army Blue and Royals frock coat uniform for a classic tuxedo and his new bride changed from her Clare Waight Keller-designed stunner to a Stella McCartney evening gown — that the couple showed off their winking license plate as they left the castle.

We may live in a small town (and, in my case, teach in an even smaller, adjacent one!) but there's an Aldi, so when I start missing living in the city, at least I can rejoice in the fact I have a place close by where I can pick up German treats and Winking Owl wine.

Slugging back a swig with the ginger hellion himself winking out at you is a sure-fire way to bring back all the good times he shared with his brothers in arms, guitarist Andrew Fidler and drummer James May, as well as all the friends and fans who became family over his too few years on this earth.

Tod Niedeck, the head of marketing for Crane, says that he was inspired by the "Harry Potter" films, in which enchanted photographs come to life, and believes that in the near future Crane will be able to create bills with more complex animation: George Washington walking to a chair and sitting down, Franklin winking and waving.

Ben Foster is maybe the most recognizable name in the cast—fans of AMC's Preacher will note that Dominic Cooper and Ruth Negga, both so charismatic on that show, pop up occasionally here before smartly hiding—and he justifies this status by overacting within an inch of his life while still somehow drowsily winking at the camera.

When a scene does go on and on — as when a recording industry mogul snottily declares that not only can Queen not make "Bohemian Rhapsody" the first single off their 1975 album A Night at the Opera, but that if they don't listen to him, they'll never make it big — you can practically feel the camera winking at you.

But the winking repetition of coded celebrity identifiers ("Socialite Sex Tape Star Turned Reality Star") soon loses its fizz, and the zingers ("Her teeth are probably sharp enough to be an extra in a werewolf movie") are too earthbound to lift Ella's fall from gracelessness out of rom-com purgatory and into the stratosphere of satire.

" Most of the songs have the same winking, self-deprecating tone as much of their jaunty, rock-tinged catalog: "Rudolph Was Blue" is a lonely postscript on the classic holiday favorite, for example, and "Here It Is Christmastime" is a tribute to having someone to enjoy the holidays with, and also to help "do the dishes.

Now, it makes sense that the Good Place is in a bit of disrepair, because the head accountant (a delightfully droll Stephen Merchant, clinging to an "Existence's Best Boss" mug as a winking nod to both the American Office and the British Office, both of which Merchant co-created) reveals that nobody's been admitted to the Good Place in more than 500 years.

While doing some very 80s vogueing, running her hands up and down the length of her body and winking at the camera all appropriately set to the song "Nasty Girl" by Vanity 6, Ciara wears a forest green lace jumpsuit and corset by Dsquared2, a hat with superhero eyehole cutouts by Agent Provocateur and a coat and platform boots by Marc Jacobs.

Where La La Land finds romance with winking tributes to big Hollywood musicals of old, sparkly effects, a frothy energy, and huge set pieces, Guy and Madeline's romance comes from simpler, more true-to-life things: wandering around a park and humming, cleaning the windows of a New York oyster bar, eating stolen bread alone, and then wanting to dance.

She writes about a breakup with winking self-awareness, taking the cliché of the crazy ex-girlfriend to Fatal Attraction-esque extremes on "Hard Feelings/Loveless" ("I'm gonna mess your life up," she taunts in an eerie high register) and acknowledging the trope of the scorned lover on "Writer in the Dark" (a song about writing songs about an ex).

It&aposs also worth noting that this is hardly the first time movies have turned their lenses on class warfare: "The Lego Movie" was one long, winking critique of the toy machine, while Christopher Nolan&aposs "The Dark Knight Rises" saw Anne Hathaway&aposs Selina Kyle purr into Bruce Wayne&aposs ear that "there&aposs a storm coming" for the one percent.

" As the outrage hit a fever pitch, the Facebook page's disclaimer was updated from this: "Allie *grills* congressional hopeful and progressive it girl &aposAlexandria Ocasio-Cortez&apos on her socialist agenda and knowledge of government... or lack thereof," to include a winking emoji and this line: "Yes, this is satire created from excerpts of the viral Firing Line interview with Ocasio-Cortez.

Much like the fragmented shards of broken mirrors that adorn the outbuildings and fixtures of Olayami Dabl's ongoing masterwork of installation art, Iron Teaching Rocks How To Rust, Buchanan's shacks look back at you, from windows like winking eyes, or windowless walls like blank faces — more so than through the elided features of the rare figure in her pastel landscapes.

"And that is the love story between Ralph and Alice, and the love story between Ralph and Ed." (He quickly added that he was repeating an insight originally made by his real-life wife, Toni DiBuono.) The "Honeymooners" musical, which also stars Michael Mastro and Laura Bell Bundy as Ed and Trixie, has its share of winking references to the original sitcom.

Inside the house, each room is a dizzying mash-up of styles and periods, with plenty of winking juxtapositions: The walls of a stairway, for example, are covered with historical photos of groups of visitors to Mount Vernon, George Washington's famed plantation home in Virginia, with a 1975 painting of Washington by the artist Alex Katz nestled in among them.

Daniel Roseberry's sophomore Schiaparelli couture leaned a little too heavily into the traditional surreal tropes of the house, including winking eyes and trompe l'oeil candelabra, that were great in slouchy trouser suits and gowns that provided their own cloud cover, but off the mark entirely in fake tan lines and awning-striped bathing suit gowns emerging from seas of hot pink skirts.

If this is "art-pop," as Gaga's last album was called — trying out nostalgia for eras in which she never lived, tearfully accepting a Golden Globe for her work on "American Horror Story: Hotel," playing a version of the winking grotesque creature she started as — it seems designed to keep her out of the mainstream fray: away from Adele and Rihanna and her former collaborator Beyoncé.

This latest and sharpest example of Biden's 19th century petrification makes it clear he's not running a modern campaign, but has instead dusted off an old playbook, one in which his support of mass incarceration, his grilling of Anita Hill, his defense of the Hyde Amendment, maybe even his winking affection for Old Southern Dixiecrats, would have been overlooked -- acceptable even -- instead of disqualifying.

Tossing aside virtually all of Shakespeare's language — leaving in just a few winking sprinkles here and there, and sometimes writing in his own pseudo-Elizabethan style — Mr. Jones, the author of the plays "The Intelligent Design of Jenny Chow" and "The Jammer" and recently a writer for the TV series "Friday Night Lights" and "Boardwalk Empire," has retained the sturdy bones of the story.

While the whiplash-inducing genre—marked by manic tempos ranging from 180-220 BPM, distorted bass drums, and shrieking synths—is hard to come by in the US clubbing scene, a particularly fanatical promoter named "Justin Bailey" (AKA Seva Granik, the mastermind behind SHADE) will be throwing a gabber party called "Zero Chill" in Brooklyn on April 1 as a winking tribute to its cultish lineage.

As for Trump — whose campaign theatrics feel like a one-man show, and whose history as a registered Democrat can make his contorted appeals to the far right seem like put-ons — well, not for nothing is there a conspiratorial segment insisting that his candidacy is a winking performance, which will eventually end with the admission that he may have laid it on a little thick.

Wearing a white vest and leather trousers; feeling himself up against the wall of a trailer he's trying to act like he belongs in; putting on a jacket that literally says "THE MAN" in cut-out lettering like he's just joined his first DIY punk band at 15; pointing and winking at passersby, women in bars, himself in the mirror – any human form, really; SHOOTING EMPTY CANS.

That is the unavoidable backdrop against which Ronaldo, the adored hero, returned to Old Trafford; those were the circumstances under which his name was cheered by both sets of fans, under which he selflessly gave the pitch invaders a photograph to treasure as they take their inevitable bans from the stadium, under which he was serenaded after he left the field, smiling and winking to the camera.

But he also loves a winking flourish that gently sends up Western associations of Asian culture while celebrating his roots: His show notes are printed on papers that mimic noodle-bar menus; orders from his online store arrive packaged in polystyrene takeout boxes; and he named his label's most popular style — a sheer, acid-washed turtleneck in multicolor tie-dye — the Hot Wok Top.

I'm thinking of when Brienne decides to accept a compliment from Podrick, the nod that Jaime gives Bronn as they agree that Randyll Tarly is a bit of a prick, the winking girltime that Missandei and Daenerys share just before Jon Snow barges in, and Jon letting his own guard down as he strolls with his lieutenant Davos Seaworth, who corrects his grammar (proving that Stannis's legacy lives on).

So on Wednesday he filled the gilded, mirrored halls of the Hôtel de Ville, Paris's city hall, with the scratchy howls of Deep Purple, and amid it all focused on … doodles: hand drawn pen-and-ink sketches by his studio that consisted mostly of feathers and plant fronds, with the occasional peacock eye winking in for good measure, reproduced in what seemed to be their original Bic shades.

When the telemarketing firm rewards Cassius' supernatural cold-calling prowess with promotions and praise, these represent a concrete means to save Sergio's house and the first time in Cassius's adult life that people in power have told him he's good at something — even if that something turns out to be shilling for weapons manufacturers and Worry Free (whose sarong-sporting chief executive is played with slick, winking malevolence by Armie Hammer).

More novel toppings may include crumbled Oreos, advertised on the sign with a winking parenthetical: "(Merica!)" At the end of each night, I found myself surrounded by people nibbling helixes of skewered potato slices; gawking as strips of dough were wrapped in spirals around fat metal cylinders to make kurtoskalacs, Transylvanian cakes traditionally roasted over a spit; and extolling the glories of moffles, waffles made with mochiko (glutinous rice flour).

The title, Everybody Looking, is a winking acknowledgment that this is his most high profile release in years simply by virtue of his recent absence, and it brings to mind 2Pac's post-prison blockbuster All Eyez On Me. Gucci even seems to be following the same schedule he was on in 2009, when he released one of his most celebrated mixtapes, Writing On The Wall, 58 days after getting out of Fulton County Jail.

At the time of writing a five day old update of of Instagram's iOS app already features the new construction — although it looks far more dark pattern than splashy rebrand, with just the faintest whisker of grey text at the base of the screen to disclose that you're about to be sucked into the Facebook empire (vs a giant big blue 'Create new account' button winking to be tapped up top… ) Here's the landing screen — with the new branding.

Festivalgoers discussed the fact that Penny actually has the abortion — no last-minute miscarriages thanks to falling down the stairs — and how its perspective is very different than 2007's twin mainstream films that laughed off abortion in a cutesy, winking fashion: Juno and Knocked Up. The only recent mainstream film to dive into abortion as something that occurs with no hand-wringing is 2014's Obvious Child, a charming and small movie that will never match Dirty Dancing's omnipotence.

Here's Michelle Stanek with a beautifully choreographed, sensual jungle-themed routine:Here's one of my all-time favorites: a "vertical tango" that won the gold medal at the 2010 Festival Mondial du Cirque de Demain in Paris:Finally, we gotta give the guys a chance to show their stuff, so here's Australian acrobat Hamish McCann (one-half of acrobatic duo The English Gents) with his late-night cabaret pole routine, paying winking homage both to striptease and to Singing in the Rain.

On a larger scale, as the Atlantic's Angela Nagle wrote in December 2017, the violence of Unite the Right put into sharp relief the distinct difference between what the alt-right purported itself to be (people posting "fun" memes mocking so-called "political correctness"), and what it actually became (a cover for racists and anti-Semites, complete with Nazi insignia and swastikas): The rally brought into the open the movement's racist core—not the winking shit-posters and fuzzy-faced geeks wearing obscure-internet-joke T-shirts, but a small army of unapologetic white nationalists.

Executed in the style of travel postcards or advertisements, three murals depict local cultural icons and symbols: in "Greetings from Detroit," the Detroit skyline (with the monument "The Spirit of Detroit," 23, by sculptor Marshall Fredericks at the center) is lined with musicians including The Stooges and Sun Ra, both significant influences on the artists; in "The Heart of Detroit by Moonlight," the proto-punk band, the MC5, and the comedian Soupy Sales are juxtaposed with figures such as Alice Cooper and Lester Bangs, as well as the Vernor's gnome (the winking mascot of the Detroit-made ginger ale); and in "Amazing Freaks of the Motor City," White Panther Party founder John Sinclair stands in front of a giant Uniroyal tire, which is located by the side of the I-94 freeway near Detroit.
