What the shit?
Sep. 20th, 2008 07:49 pmYesterday after my Journalism tute, my instructor pulled me aside as I was leaving, told me that the cringe-worthy piece of shit I handed in as my storywriting assignment was beyond good, and insisted on helping me get more of my stuff published. Even if I am stupid and hideously untalented, her confidence in me made me feel bouncy. (In my pants.)
In that particular tute, we were being told about how the mainstream media is run by coporations and can be dodgey at the best of times. And to demonstrate how misleading the big bad news networks can be, they showed us... Zeitgeist.
MOTHER.
FUCKING.
ZEITGEIST.
"O hay guyz, anecdotal evidence and selective editing is all the rage nowadays! Ommigawd, this ancient design looks kind of like a cross, which has only ever been used as a symbol of Christianity in the entirity of human history! HOLY SHIT MAN I CAN USE POLYSYLLABLES! This is going to be an awesome project for Grade 10 Study of Society!"
Because I just know someone will ask- link.
