Mostly, I write about television, and with this being the home of the Great Buffy Rewatch of 2011, a lot of that television is Joss Whedon-related (when it's not about Lost). Stick around if you love Game of Thrones, The Walking Dead, Sherlock, Lost, BtVS, Doctor Who, or anything on HBO.

Best Book Cover Ever
As someone who love academic takes on popular culture, I nearly spit my water across my desk when I saw this spoof cover. This is BRILLIANT.
If only it were real. I'd totally read it. You can see the original post here.
But you can hear all the moms clucking their tongues: "I just don't know about that Bieber boy...Madison loves him but I just feel oogy about that new book."
It wouldn't really be that hard to write a Bieber spoof essay. Here's a few titles:
"Jouissance and the Bieber Cut: The Oedipus Complex Unachieved"
"Archetypes of the Abject: Boy Pop Stars and Children of the Corn, an Analysis of Infantile Gaze"
"Is There a Song on this CD? Musical Style Beyond YouTube"
"Adolescent Patriarchy, the Political Unconscious and Ideology in Bieber's Lyrics"
and the most read spoof essay,
"Prandial Peregrinations and Opsomanic Desires: Gastromatic Entertainments and Erethismic Effects Due to the Troubadour Wassailian Gyre in Bieber Dance"
This last has to have been penned by that inimitable Dr. Pateman.
Brill. Did you ever see Beiber or die?
ReplyDeleteThis is phenomenal.

@Joan: My thoughts exactly!
