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[. . .

Meanwhile, academics at Charlie Sturt University Bathurst have expressed their disappointment. "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."

"whats wrong with buffy?"

There's a thesis in itself, and probably one that could easily be covered in 100,000 words. Hubert Cumberdale can write that one.
