I hate to say it, but this is just way too accurate to let go. Damn you The Onion for making me self reflexive! This is America, where it's everyone's God-given right to trample someone in his or her way during a Black Friday sale at Walmart! I mean, it's not like those sales aren't real bargains! Or that they're selling things we don't need! Or that you can find them cheaper online! Or that Walmart sold them cheaper just a few weeks before!
OK fine. You win this round. I'm still buying a new phone next year. Jerks.
About Me
- Ted Gournelos
- I'm an Assistant Professor of Communication Studies at Rollins College. I teach a variety of courses, with topics from public relations to popular culture to digital media. My first book, Popular Culture and the Future of American Politics: Cultural Studies and the Tao of South Park, was published in 2009 from Lexington Books, and I published two edited volumes in 2011: one on humor and irony in post-9/11 politics, and one on transgression in the digital age. My Ph.D. and M.F.A. come from the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. I also have an MFA in Sculpture from the University of Illinois, and two bachelor's degrees (Art and English) from the University of Maryland.
