This review isn't about Harold Bloom. It's about Harold Bloom's Ratemyprofessor page. I hope it makes many of you feel nice and tingly inside to know that the difference between you and Yalies like me and Lollies is twofold: (1) The ability to spell; (2) A massive, literally incredible sense of entitlement. Rating: 4%
Talk about MAN unlimited. Where shall wisdom be found? Right here. I used to like T.S. Eliot, but then Dr. Bloom showed me how ignorant I was. But that's OK. His influence causes no anxiety here.
ReplyDeleteits like yelp but for boring shit that doesnt matter to anyone

ReplyDeleteLacking Harold Bloom's critical subtlety, I may have missed the massive sense of entitlement. To what, exactly, are you referring?
ReplyDelete*scoffs*
ReplyDeletemaybe if you managed not to be born to a illegal honduran and a banjo you could have afforded to go someplace other then outhouse state university where you would have learned life skills other then mixing long island ice teas for little jenny alpha house whore so you could understand this post The Horror of Generation live and learn i guess
ReplyDeleteim a vassar man myself (vassar county community college)
ReplyDeleteThis might be a re-post, but I think what I meant by a sense of entitlement can be best described by Louis CK:

ReplyDeleteI am so confused. What the hell is going on here?
ReplyDelete"What part confuses you?" Viking Andrew asks in his condescending, professorial tone.
ReplyDeleteIt's Harold Bloom, not fucking Confucius. What did you expect his Ratemyprofessor page to say?
ReplyDelete"Even though my dad is the the richest person in the Northwestern U.S., it was an absolute privilege to take a class with bestselling literary critic Harold Bloom, whose mastery of the entire Western canon as defined by Harold Bloom was able to bequeath unto me an intellectual, nay, spiritual authenticity that 5% of all the money in the American economy just couldn't buy. P.S. I just loved his sequel to David Lyndsey's Voyage to Arcturus, which was almost as well-written as the original."
ReplyDeleteNorthWESTERN U.S.? And you didn't go to Stanford? Ha!
ReplyDeleteSorry, David LyndsAy. Y'all should really read that. It's a moving exploration of rampant consumerism and the promise of rebirth through violence as seen through the eyes of a disillusioned suburban divorcée. He coined the term mennui.
ReplyDeleteCheck this shit out.
ReplyDeleteI wonder who gets higher RMP scores, Harold Bloom or the first year creative writing student who talks with his students about teaching while stoned and has the class watch Bowling For Columbine in lieu of writing an essay? I mean, I "wonder."
ReplyDelete@Glenn. gnr! Brilliant.
ReplyDeleteinside jokes

ReplyDeleteRemember that kid who was always high? And he told his class he'd give anybody an A if they could beat him at video games? Dear god.
