I really dig comics and pop artifacts that do theory the right way…cuz not everyone into theory is into “high” culture. And there’s nothing more irritating than a pompous idiot who thinks that Lacan is only for “professional” Lacanians.

I had to read it to believe it. The guy apparently had his divine revelation in a British shop when he happened to look at a picture of the Goddess Bahuchar Mata. In a temple in Gujarat he is being worshiped as her living reincarnation. And I have to say I’m impressed that [...]
Food, Freud, and F***ing around making pointless internet quizzes…these are some of my favorite things…

Well apparently the fairness cream conglomerates that dominate the Indian cosmetic market making over 1000 crores per year have decided to hone in on the metrosexual demographic…so guys…you no longer need to fear the sun…or sneak into your mommy’s toiletry cabinet at night searching for bleach and sunscreen…from now on you too can get your [...]
Can someone please explain to me what happened to the 258 million dollars that went into making Spider Man 3? Apparently they didn’t bother to pay the writers…perhaps Kirsten Dunst wrote the screenplay? I don’t know. The villains lacked any sort of evil convinction….there was no mad maniacal grin from Willem Dafoe’s creased and weathered [...]
