A Magazine

A magazine is a stupid thing to buy. It usually costs around $5, and it contains almost no information you can't already find on the internet. Like for instance pretend you were at the store today buying cookies for your students and you happened to see a magazine featuring an article about the best small town diners in Texas. Why bother buying it? A) if you wanted to find out about the best small town diners in Texas you could just Google search it, and B) I'm never going to do that anyway because I don't care enough. Also there were like 50 pages of ads for watches before any legitimate articles started so in conclusion Baudrillard was right when he said print was dead the Internet rules. I don't know if he said that but everybody else around here sounds all smart and I wanted to board the brain train.

RATING: 31%

Yeah, I don't think Baudrillard said that. I think that was Karl Popper, or maybe Jesus.

Baudrillard sure hated the 2 speed windshield wiper, though.

Whatever, I like magazine. I wish someone who loved me would get me a subscription to Yoga Journal for Christmas.

Some douchebag who wrote The Matrix.

Hah. I really like the fact that he said the Matrix didn't really follow his work.

Um, if they think that it followed your work, then by a little warp of your philosophy, that means that (possibly) it did. META.
