Guest FakeRazor Posted February 8, 2002 Report Posted February 8, 2002 I was just watching the UPN 9 news, and it is now my opinion that The University of Michigan RULES! They now offer a course called "Simpsons 101," which is an analysis of the show and its characters. The only class that could be cooler is a class about pro wrestling...
Guest Kinetic Posted February 8, 2002 Report Posted February 8, 2002 Wow. That's really cool and sort of frightening at the same time. While "The Simpsons" is a pretty complex show compared to, say, "Titus" or something equally reprehensible, I can't really see what they would teach in a class on it. Subtle pop culture references? The history of couch gags in western civilization? Will the two episode guides be textbooks? It boggles the mind.
Guest El Hijo Del Lunatic Posted February 8, 2002 Report Posted February 8, 2002 (packing) I guess it's time to find out if Ann Arbor really is a slut.
Guest Speed 6 Posted February 8, 2002 Report Posted February 8, 2002 Sweeeeet. And I live near Michigan. This is good. And also I have both Simpsons books, so Whoo-Hoo, no text book fees.
Guest Kevin Sullivan Booked My Divorce Posted February 8, 2002 Report Posted February 8, 2002 I go to U of M....but its not the Ann Arbor campus, its the Flint one. Guess I'm gonna have to transfer.
Guest FakeRazor Posted February 8, 2002 Report Posted February 8, 2002 Actually, they said the analysis of the show is so complex that TWO professors teach the class at the same time.
Guest Youth N Asia Posted February 10, 2002 Report Posted February 10, 2002 Crap...I'm in Flint...we get the short end of them U of M stick...no football and no Simpsons 101. We have minor league hockey though... *crickets chirping*
Guest FakeRazor Posted February 11, 2002 Report Posted February 11, 2002 I also posted this in my forum and it turns out there is actually a pro wrestling class available in some Canadian College!
Guest theWCWRaider Posted February 11, 2002 Report Posted February 11, 2002 This is not the first Simpsons class I've heard about, and it would be damn cool. Now, I must use this information, because one of my professors has been talking about putting together a Simpsons class before, and maybe this will convince him!
Guest Dark Lotus Posted February 11, 2002 Report Posted February 11, 2002 This must've been a Fox Network feed. That same segment was on the Fox News outlet here in Dallas.
