10.30.09 HARVARD TO OFFER CLASS ON ‘THE WIRE’

Harvard is teaching “The Wire.”
I’ve already watched the whole series.
ERGO, I have a Harvard education.

Also, I smoke lots of crack.

In a related story, Wellesly College will be teaching a course on “The L Word.”

And Ohio State will be studying “Oz.”

I heard Duke is running a seminar based on “Tool Academy”

Rich Harvard WASP: *turns to lone black kid in class* “Is that what it’s like in your hood?”

Or Rembrandt Q. Einstein.

Actually, The Wire has already been sufficiently deconstructed by pretentious Ivory Tower academics: http://heavenandhere.wordpress.com/

A sampling: The Barksdalian cultural codes we find so legible give way to an imperial logic of unfettered expansionism.

…So they’ve got that going for them…

USC has a class in which you study how to be one of Vince’s floozies on Entourage. UCLA offers a similar one, but replace ‘Vince’ with ‘Turtle.’

From the last season of “The Wire” I learned that lesbains that look like they are kind of asian and kind of black are snitch as bitches.

@CrabApple: I learned that lesbians that look like dudes, dress like dudes, talk like dudes, and dress like dudes, will ask how their hair looks right before you kill them.

and I learned that there are ponies in Baltimore.
Seriously, how did the crack heads find a fucking PONY in Baltimore?

to be fair, as between watching the wire & taking the T to roxbury…

@CrabApple: i learned that little michael will probably grow up to be a bad motherf*&ker. and gay.

I learned that apparently Marlo is a Black Belt in Krav Maga and can disarm two men armed with a knife and a gun with his bare hands.

-pretty much my only quibble out of 5 seasons of perfection

All I can hear is Christan Bale in my head screaming, “no, NO!” Time to change the avatar to Omar. Indeed. I would love to see him lecture the class. “Ya’ll ain’t got no Honey Nut?, I gotz to go.”

Them bitches at Harvard is gump, by the way.

And why is a blue dildo peeking out of Dook’s lunch bag? It’s like an Avatar cock.

Dook needs the dildo to get his ‘clients’ off, they pay him, he goes and buys dope with said cash.

It’s the circle of life man.

jim true-frost’s (presbo) wife actually teaches at harvard law school.

Berkeley already has a class on the wire. Film studies 108, called “Serial Television: The Wire.” Fuck Harvard.

LOL @ blue dildo. That’s actually the fan he used to cool down the girl who slashed a fellow student’s face. That was an eerie scene.
