stop counterculturalism now

A Graduate Student Avoiding his Ph.D., Being Productive,
or Being Creative and Useful in Any Real Way...

point: "romance is dead. it was acquired in a hostile takeover by hallmark and disney, homogenized, and sold off piece by piece." add to that the fact that even wholesome family stuff is still for sale on two fronts: case in point > hillary duff, disney's young cash crop-- part of a media process exploiting the pure-virgin moralistic ideal to sell optical music disks and $8 movie stubs, has also recently been seen in a music video more steamy than any I was in when I was 15. Way to make a profit on two fronts, mega-Disney-co. Walt (the sexist animation-genius which he was), would be proud.

counterpoint: true romance will always be pure. but it comes from homemade arts-n-crafts and is not something you can get at Wallmart.

if you need a break from mainstream media, turn off your television and think for yourself, create or participate in the resounding cacophony of enjoyable media improbabilities: case in point > The Thnikkaman: "yea, shut up kids" (remember to click around at the end of the email).

Be a good counterculturalist today! (man, this entry was obtuse... I better go study and put my time wasting to better use). Yours,
