I’m not joking. Scroll down to the second section of that linked page and see for yourself.
I was looking at how YouTube users discover our “I Loved College” video, and stumbled upon this essay about art and the topic of higher education. Among other things, they analyze the water-cooler kegstand and how it reflects America’s feelings about schooling.
I think I’m flattered? It’s weird seeing someone seriously contemplate something my friends and I made while fucking around.

A girl more athletic than a boy in middle school gym class = premature emasculation.
If everyone generally agrees that sex is great, then why do people say “sex sells” like it’s a surprise?
