May. 11th, 2005 06:08 pmIn class today we were given a magazine and told to pick an advert, analyse it, then change it as a way of highlighting how the meaning was constructed. Basically, caption competition.
So, we flick through, and one two page spread was all black, with the word 'LEATHER', and a gear knob sticking up out the middle.
I sniggered and, um, had ideas.
Then we turn the page and the next ad says 'Have you ever noticed it's so easy to put your feet up but so hard to put them down again?'
I totally had a giggle fit. Bad brain. Bad.
I vetoed working with either of those on the grounds I couldn't think of anything clean...
also today the teacher achieved lasting fame by listing 'beaver' as a household pet.
Because beaver is an inherently funny word. And he said 'you could have beaver'.
See, college is where the smart people go...
