things my Contemporary Lit professor said today:

-“They tried really hard to make it serious but at the end there’s still a Holocaust museum gift shop.”
-“Elaborate more on the idea of ‘hipsterdom’”.
-“What’s wrong with going to an expensive liberal arts college and then going to work as an organic farmer?”
-“The Holocaust isn’t supposed to be funny but when South Park makes a Holocaust joke, I’m horrified but still laughing. You’re not supposed to hear jokes about the state of Jews in 1936.”
-“The ironic reappropriation of upper-middle class kids who buy a bowling shirt and will never go bowling is an important symbol of our generation.”
-“Gertrude Stein looks like… yeah, just look up some pictures of her. You’ll get it.”
-“Who here watches 30 Rock?”
