"Sometimes, people care so much that it bubbles over."

Please tell me no bubbles come out of his ass in this video.

Magpie karma?

Don't you love it when white hippies mock black women? And I bet the dude's a Barryhead.

I just emailed him and asked if jumping at and verbally assaulting black women is part of his debate curriculum. Or maybe the guy just likes to yell and drop trou.

Academia. Where middlebrows go to age.

If this even was at the University of Florida, there would have been a shit-ton of tasing going on.

Agi said...

Is this from a new VH1 reality show?

The Culture Ghost said...

But is our childrens learning?

CSTAR said...

"La Nouvelle Rhétorique", peut-être?

IOZ said...

I thought the trou-dropping paled (you'll pardon the expression) in comparison to the ponytail flippery.

Only if our gracious host allows it, and you remain anonymous.

I am always anonymous. We are legion, we anonymooses.

Now that you're hear, what was that SNL anecdote you said Schwarz might lay on us? It looks like ATR is going to be bogged down with Chazelle's music-theory nerdery for a while, and while I hate to admit it, I am just uncultured enough that I would rather hear about Chevy Chase getting blown by Jimmy Fallon than read about chords and such.

mmm Democracy.

it's demo-crazy!! booyeah

Anon --

I cannot speak on behalf of Jon, much less at IOZ's site. It's not as grand as Fallon blowing Chevy (though I do understand that Fallon got his job through similar means), but merely underlines my point about how ignorant many contemporary comics are about those who preceded them. Not that anyone cares.

I'm not clear on who the bigger failer is, hippie or Shanara. Who is, Dennis and Who?

Dylan said...

Is there a transcript of the whole thing? At the end, that woman from Vanderbilt is howling about bridges and consequences or something at the end. Seems to be fucking funny, but there is no way to be sure without a clear English translation.

whoah.

i'm a little slower than most posters and, gawd knows, blawgers, but, I have a question:

is the ponytailed dewd the educator in this here asylum?

is that why the other brothers in the room didn't beat the motherfucking shit out of him??

sorry, i missed the "fail" link.

i thought this was a seminar on Race, and, how fucked up it is for white professors to think they have anything to offer on the subject. period.

listening to the young man cry off camera was anything but funny.

on the other hand, our boy Dan Shea said a mouthful when he stated: 'the confrontation is unfortunate in an age when it's already tough for faculty to get students to engage in civil discourse.'

and, this was some kind of a debating tournament??

Ioz's "fail" seems to be the only reasonable comment to this video but since it's come up for discussion -- I blame all those who didn't get behind Ron Paul's call for getting rid of the Department of Education and getting rid of all federal grants or monetary assistance to anything aimed at anyone under 50 or over 50 and those who refuse to write about how neocons and neolibs are pinko Trotskyites run amok (Exhibit A: The Ponytail) and anyone including Dennis Perrin who lost focus and overlooked the only really important feature of this video---that the pwoggish screamer isn't wearing any shoes. WTF? Have people become so jaded in these heady days of failing Empire that they forget there are public health ordinances about wearing shoes during debates?
