University offers 'Simpsons' as Philosophy Class

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the stuff-you-just-can't-make-up dept.

joestump98 writes "I ran accross a story at CNN that says a local Michigan college, Siena Heights, is offering a philosophy class on our favorite cartoon - The Simpsons. The Catholic school says the class is about religion and philosphy in popular culture." And I thought Rocks for Jocks was a hilarious concept in wasting a college education. That said, I'd take that class. Have to make sure to watch my homework tonight.

    Good work, you fooled me, and i'm usually not fooled by goatsex links. Luckily i have the site redirected in my /etc/hosts.

    Just out of curiosity, did you moderate the post up yourself, or did moron moderators do it?

    Off topic? maybe.

    I'm not sure about you, but every philosophy student I know has very little independent thought. They basically just spout quotes of whoever they liked reading. Philosophy classes do not inspire independent thought.
