Growing up in front of the eyes of the public isn’t something Malia Obama is not familiar with. Being the daughter of the former president of the United States, Barak Obama, she has spent her life under the limelight, and even today, the media is interested in her every move.
The 25-year-old just presented her directorial debut, The Heart, at the Sundance Film Festival. In the Sundance Institute’s “Meet the Artist” spotlight video, Malia Obama revealed she was going by the name Malia Ann, thus ditching her moniker.
Malia, who was born Malia Ann Obama on July 4, 1998, has her middle name honoring her paternal grandmother, who died from ovarian cancer at the age of 52 in 1995, and now, she has dropped her last name in favor of her middle name.
Speaking of the short film for which she served as both director and screenwriter, Malia said. “This is an odd little story, somewhat of fable, about a man grieving the death of his mother after she leaves him an unusual request in her will.” Further, in the YouTube clip of the short film, she wrote, “The film is about lost objects and lonely people and forgiveness and regret, but I also think it works hard to uncover where tenderness and closeness can exist in these things.”
The Heat isn’t her first attempt into the profession. Previously, the Harvard grad worked in the writers’ room on Donald’s Amazon Prime show Swarm, co-writing the fifth episode, “Girl, Bye.”
“She’s a very professional person,” Swarm‘s co-creator Janine Nabers said Malia in a January 2023 Vanity Fair interview. “She’s an incredible writer and artist. She made significant contributions… She’s very, truly committed to her craft.”
Swarm‘s executive producer Stephen Glover also spoke of Malia. “We can’t be easy on her just because she’s the [former] President’s daughter,” he told Vanity Fair. “No, she is really down-to-earth and cool. So it’s not an issue at all.”
Malia Obama isn’t the first celebrity who made the decision to ditch their family name. Other celebs have done that before, including Nicolas Cage, who changed his last name from Coppola, and Angelina Jolie, who dropped her surname, Voight.
For her directorial debut, Malia looked cozy, with minimal makeup, her curly hair down with small braids scattered throughout.
When He Asked Her Inappropriate Question She Slammed The Door
There are many different ways to look at laughing at crude jokes, and a person’s values and the context usually determine whether laughing at such jokes is suitable or not.
Benefits of Laughing at Unsolicited Jokes:
1. Humor and Emotional Well-Being: Laughing at inappropriate or forbidden subjects such as s** can indicate emotional well-being. It enables people to confront and navigate societal taboos in a less threatening and more approachable manner. Humor can serve as a coping strategy and a means of fostering human connections via common experiences (Daily Writing Tips) (NCRegister)
2. Relief and Connection: By introducing surprise and incongruity—two essential components of humor—dirty jokes can also offer relief. This surprising turn of events can humanize difficult or uncomfortable themes and foster a sense of community among people who laugh together (NCRegister).
Maintaining Humor Balance:
Ultimately, the context and the joke’s character determine whether laughing at dirty jokes is appropriate or not. It is crucial to take into account the humor’s intended meaning and the effect it has on other people. Jokes can be a constructive way to communicate humor if they highlight human experiences without denigrating others. It’s best to avoid the humor, though, if it veers into inappropriate territory or unnerves people.
In conclusion, even while telling dirty jokes can be a method to bond and decompress, it’s important to handle them delicately and be mindful of the potential effects they may have on certain audiences.
Now for the joke!
Are you in possession of a
Have you got a v*****?A woman at home alone is asked by a man who just stood there and knocked on the door.
That evening, she tells her husband with a mocking bang of the door as he returns from work. The next morning, she answers a knock on the door. It is the same man who asks the question.
Have you got a v****a?
Once more, she slams the door.
She picks up the phone and immediately calls her spouse at work. Should the man happen to turn up a third time, which is quite unlikely, he tells her he will take tomorrow off.
The next morning, they both answer the door when they hear a knock.
The spouse whispers to her, “Honey, I’m going to hide behind the door and listen.”
If he is the same guy, please respond positively to his question so I can see where he’s headed.
She nods to her husband, indicating her acceptance, and opens the door. Yes, that is the same guy standing there.”Do you possess a v****a?” he asks.
“Yeah, I do,” the lady answers.
“All right, could you please tell your husband to use yours and leave my wife’s alone?”The man answers.
