Day Twenty Five: False Advertising works better than expected.

Emily: "Can you really see famous naked people at your site?"

Animation seminar today was great. We saw the horrors that corporate capitalism unleashed on The Flintstones, and latterly was a formative part of much of Saturday morning programming. This course is fascinating, but I get the feeling that it might be destroying my faith in humanity.

That said, we did get to watch not only Voltron, but also the mighty He-Man. I mean, Voltron is about Robot Lions that transform into a giant Mech that wields an enormous sword in order to DEFEND THE UNIVERSE. I mean, I'm pretty sure that's what people had in mind when they were redefining the word 'awesome'.

The seminar was also successful in that I managed to be labelled as a Communist, Fascist and a Socialist. Admittedly, this was because James was extolling the joys of Capitalism a little too hard, and I kind of get the urge when people are so committed to an ideal that I like to be contrary, just for its own sake. Ryan also expressed fear about my early essay starting, but I reassured him, as out of the two essays, I've only started one, and it's not the film one. I couldn't start that early, its just traditional that I do all my film work at the absolute last minute. That's just the way that the world works.

Also, I only realised today that Joe Biden is actually from Scranton, Pennsylvania. This is awesome enough to warrant my unquestioning support for the Obama/Biden campaign, because I'm hugely gay for the office, and all that surrounds it.

Plus, Barack is actually Superman.

Finally, I'm going to go off and enjoy Burn after Reading, and also get myself a beer and a burger. God, university life is fantastic.
