QuoteThe PhD's Vanity, Heard Through Publish or Perish
By Ima Dork
Published: March 32, 2011


In the today's world of change and uncertainty, one thing stands out:  The research institutions churning out inane and idiotic papers to justify whatever it takes to gain pseudo-respect in the mainstream world.

In days gone by, researchers were happy in their nest of isolated gibberish, free of constraints of logic and actual experience.  Titles of papers like "The Post-War Antithetical Constraints of Neo-Marxist Economic Theory and Diaphram Usage" have become, sadly, things of the past. In the new model of relevancy, researchers now struggle to find that topic that will both show them as serious members of the field and yet touch a broader public nerve that might allow them access to the lucrative public speaking circuit.

Playing on tried and true topics: Family Values, Teenagers, Dreadnaughts, these nearly worthless doctorate holders fight with one another to achieve that holy grail of academia.  Relevance.  Given the short attention span of the general public, reckoned in one recent Sociological study as "below that of diabetic hamsters", this tast is daunting.

Still, the enormous drive to achieve this position in the acedemic world, that of near-acceptance and mild scorn, propels them to reach out and connect with the real world.

This researcher expects more studies on such topics, and it can be read about in my latest book.
I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.

I tried to listen to that "Friday" song that people keep blabbing about.  I had to shut down the video like 30 seconds in because the song was so annoying it was literally giving me a flashover migraine.  :bleeding:
Lol, it gets way worse than that. At first I was like "this is bad, but it's not epically William Hung bad." It went beyond that though. God it's awful.
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Anyway, this is retarded. They take some random songs from today and the past to support their "thesis".  :lol:
Anyway, it is retarded to epic-fail at reading and then blame the writer for your ignorance. :lol:

I think that's why some have dubbed it the worst song ever - even though that title is too weighty for that song.

It's terrible, but its "worstness" is certainly not accurate.  I've heard far more awful songs from major talents.

When you looked into my eyes
I stood there like I was hyp-notised
You sent a feeling to my spine
A feeling warm and smooth and fine
But all I could do were stand there paralyzed
When we kissed, ooh what a thrill
You took my hand and, ooh baby, what a chill
I felt like grabbin' you real tight
Squeeze and squeeze with all my might
But all I could do were stand there paralyzed

Oh yeah lucky me, I'm singing ev'ry day
Ever since that day you came my way
You made my life for me just one big happy game
I'm gay ev'ry morning
At night I'm still the same
Do you remember that wonderful time
You held my hand and swore that you'll be mine
In front of preacher you said
"I do" I couldn't say a word for thinking of you
All I could do was stand there paralyzed

God damn kids & their emo songs!
Colonel Caliga is Awesome.

 :bleeding:  I remember listening to that Weezer song they mention in the article.  Maybe it was supposed to be a parody, but it was so stupid and unfunny that that is *the* song I think of when people mention abrasive or narcassistic lyrics.

:yes:

It isn't substantial enough to be the worstest.
To sleep, perchance to dream. But in that sleep of death, what dreams may come?

Also, IMO the girl singing it is ugly. :)

Make it sung by Nicole Scherzinger feat. "any nigg' still remotely popular these days", and it might become an absolute top40 killer.
