Truthinessology: The Stephen Colbert effect becomes an obsession in academia
washingtonpost.comNation, America’s so-called universities are in big trouble, and not just because attending one of them leaves you with more debt than the Greek government. No, we’re talking about something even more unsettling: the academic obsession with Stephen Colbert.
Last we checked, Colbert was a mere TV comedian, or a satirist if you want to get fancy about it. (And, of course, being college professors, they do.) He’s a TV star, like Donald Trump, only less of a caricature.
Yet ever since Colbert’s show, “The Colbert Report,” began airing on Comedy Central in 2005, these ivory-tower eggheads have been devoting themselves to studying all things Colbertian. They’ve sliced and diced his comic stylings more ways than a Ginsu knife. Every academic discipline — well, among the liberal arts, at least — seems to want a piece of him. Political science. Journalism. Philosophy. Race relations. Communications studies. Theology. Linguistics. Rhetoric.
Do not gif Joyce Lim's fancams.
Gif-ing from Joyce Lim’s (@joycelim007) fancams is now prohibited.
(Okay, well it was probably not allowed a long time ago, but I just knew of this now. As a result, I won’t be gif-ing AJ dancing backstage ㅠㅠ)
I know very well that I have made gifs from her old fancams (the ones without watermarks) so please don’t attack my inbox with messages like, “WELL YOU HAVE GIFS FROM HER FANCAMS!!!!”. What I’m saying is that I will no longer be gif-ing any of her future fancams.
Please reblog this and inform other Jaeseop gif-ers! ( ^ u ^ )
“Yes, I was infatuated with you; I am still. No one has ever heightened such a keen capacity of physical sensation in me. But I cut you out because I couldn’t stand being a passing fancy. Before I give my body, I must give my thoughts, my mind, and my dreams, and you weren’t having any of those.”
—Sylvia Plath
Shhhh, don’t speak.
Let our actions speak for what our mouths cannot say.
I’d wrap my arms around you and bring you in tightly,
I don’t want you to leave. You make life worthwhile.
We can just stand there, in the middle of street.
Let the people see, they don’t understand us.
We are the lovers who cannot be,
For I am only….a friend.

Incubus - Neither Of Us Can See
I am one big walking chemical reaction
A buzzing hive of cells, synopsis
And nascent self perception
Isn’t it disdainful and curious
That both of us think we know everything?
We both have brains, we both have eyes
Neither of us can see
One in the same, two of a kind
And neither of us can see
I am just a blinking neon roadside attraction
A mass of future wrinkles
And untold untapped potential
Isn’t it disdainful and curious
That both of us think we know everything?
We both have brains, we both have eyes
Neither of us can see
One in the same, two of a kind
And neither of us can see
I am one big fleeting errant contradiction
So good to meet you, we are one in the same
Isn’t it disdainful and curious
That both of us think we know everything?
We both have brains, we both have eyes
Neither of us can see
One in the same, two of a kind
And neither of us can see
