I once wrote a term paper for a lit-crit course where I "deconstructed" the MTV program "Pimp My Ride." A typical passage: "Each episode is a text of inescapable complexity . . . Our received notions of what constitutes a ride are constantly subverted and undermined." It received an A.

This is absurdly hilarious. I'd imagine handing in a tracing of genitalia on some notebook paper would warrant the same grade.

"My students were very bully-ish, very aggressive, and very disrespectful," she told Tyler Brace of the Dartmouth Review. "They'd argue with your ideas." This caused "subversiveness,"

Man, JJ, this shit is great stuff. There really is no raison d'etre for the Onion anymore,our "elite" universities have a command of those swamps.

By the way, MFT, doesn't this crap stink of "4th floor, Ford Hall"??

AA, this stuff upholds what is the 4th floor, Ford Hall (and a couple other halls I can think of).
