Utopian
Of an ideal nature; model

= The Garden of Earthly Delights - The Earthly Paradise (Garden of Eden): done by the incredible fifteenth century painter, [|Hieronymus Bosch] =

Utopia is the name of //the// ideal community or society taken from the title of a [|book written by Sir Thomas Moore] since there are an infinite number of, these are just a few takes on "Utopia".

and if you don't like that there are always the models help you remember:

Dystopian
Nightmarish;grim

This is actually the companion piece to the one above done by [|Hieronymus Bosch] This is his depiction of hell. so basically the complete opposite of Utopian is Dystopian. Just like Heaven and Hell are complete opposites of each other.

Topical
Dealing with current subject matter; relevant

This Is a clip from Late Night with Conan O'Brian. As we all know these late night shows all have topics that are talked about. Such as the topic of guest's upcoming movie. In this clip, Paul Rudd and Conan are on the topic of Rudd's latest movie, Role Models... media type="youtube" key="ij9A7ad7si4" height="344" width="425" as much as this is an example of a topical interview, it quickly gets off topic when a completely different clip is shown.

I'm actually not quite sure if this is //topical// but here you go anyways: media type="youtube" key="Ptbp0pmcg3U" height="344" width="425" This is a prime example of NOT being topical and dealing with the current subject matter; which, in this case, is the abc's. This little girl is not able recite them without getting off topic and mentioning Cookie Monster a few times...

This video also demonstrates how frustrating it can be for the person or frog who is trying to stay on topic.
