Quote (http://www.chaser.com.au/images/stories/news/070227buffy_main.jpg)Wasserman is also beginning to regret her hair colour Almost four years into her 100,000 word PhD in Visual Communications, Janet Wasserman is beginning to sincerely regret her chosen area of inquiry. Her still incomplete thesis, entitled The perverse in the Buffyverse: RE:reading Performative Gender Roles and their subversion in Buffy The Vampire Slayer[. . .

"We're in our third year of studying the effect of the cancellation of Firefly on the common household nerd. We believe Miss Wasserman's thesis will be of great value to the community. Atleast three people could read it. Two of them not even by accident!"
Milford Cubicle, who is studying the Beating of Dead Horses (minoring in post modern feminism), has declared it a win for people who wish Josh Whedon fans would shut the hell up. "So Firefly was a decent show, now it's gone. These same people let go grandmothers and pets in moments, but spend years posting in internet forums about how their lives will never be the same without Buffy, Angel, Mal, Wash and Wonder Woman. Get over it." Asked to comment, officials from the university denied there was any tension between the two courses. "So the nerds get the shit kicked out of them from time to time. So what? It's Bathurst. There's not much else to do here except watch re-runs of axed TV shows and beat the shit out of nerds." Man walks 20kms to knock on wood. Screw driver gets done DUI. Marijuana shortage cripples O-week servo sales. Title: [Article]PhD student regrets choosing Buffy The Vampire Slayer as thesis topic Post by: Amii on February 28, 2007, 09:47:21 AM HA :P

There's a thesis in itself, and probably one that could easily be covered in 100,000 words. Hubert Cumberdale can write that one. Title: Re: [Article]PhD student regrets choosing Buffy The Vampire Slayer as thesis top Post by: K-9 on February 28, 2007, 06:25:40 PM :-D
