[TripWillis]

Has anyone seen this before? It's my favorite spoof on cultural theory. "But it's empty." "But of course.":

Yup. It's only funny because it's true... the more theory you read, the harder and harder it is to not think about theory. Somewhere in between the half-laughs I was thinking that I want to attend his panel.

At least we can write for the Onion when we graduate.

Reminds me of a bit from White Noise: "I understand the music, I understand the movies, I even see how comic books can tell us things. But there are full professors in this place who read nothing but cereal boxes."

Haha yes! Whenever anyone mentions criticisms of cultural theory, I always think back to that novel-- reading cereal boxes, requiring professors to spout off random dates in pop cultural history, etc...
