OH MY GOD SECRET COW!

It took me a while to come to terms with my dislike of academese in criticism and media design, but I'm really glad I wound up believing that comedy is the only solution. Outrage is so banal and antisocial; make a joke out of your frustrations, and it's universal. Boom. Problem solved.

Oh god, yes.

Yeah! I think I may have to get one of those in the end. I wish I had done my research. A shotgun-style gun would be so much less frustrating than a tiny little plastic ball.

I am an unqualified popcorn spectator when it comes to online furor surrounding vital, sensitive, topical quarrels with "society," especially in re feminism as it's promoted in the media we're mostly all entrenched in.

Yeah, the Digest on my grandma's coffee table was where I first read the boring "eats chutes and leaves" version of that joke. There were also some really insulting jokes about gays.

Actual Reader's Digest joke:

Podiatrists are too doctors!

I'd rather watch a show about Civil War-era doctors who get knocked out and wake up in the year 3030 and have to operate on computers.

Pffft.

Oh, Jeeves! Ready my steam-ship post-haste and bring me my chequeing ledger!
