W#6 Video Commentary

This is a video commentary that was assigned for my Comm. 435 Opinion & Editorial Writing class here at CSUF.  I wanted to comment on the issue of student loans and the ridiculous amount of debt students are being forced into.  I would almost argue that it's abusive to students who are just trying to get an education.  Basically its a satirical commentary on this issue and I fashioned it after the PSA commercial of abused pets...yes the Sarah McLaughlin one...and yes, the one that we're all guilty of changing the channel from ;-)

Enjoy.

P.S. Maybe one day I WILL establish the Indentured Student Servant Fund.  You think Oprah would be in on it?

Invaders

Oh boy...they're back.

This is most certainly a treat to many Titans, including myself, simply because its a form of entertainment between class.  Perhaps that's sad to say, but really, seeing a guy talk about the end of days, how homosexuality is a mental illness, and speaking in tongues is KINDA funny after you've been in a lecture hall for three hours. 

I captured this photo after they tried to hand me some literature.  They simply couldn't accept the fact that my arms were full with lugging around a tower of heavy textbooks along with an assortment of binders while managing to balance a Starbucks coffee on top. Or you know, the fact that I looked like a camel with my back strapped to my suitcase of a backpack. Or maybe even the fact that I was "talking" on my cell phone to avoid contact . No.  That would be too easy. But as soon as I said "I'm Jewish" they stopped insisting and replied with "Oh well, WE forgive you."

Lesson of the day: When in doubt, pretend you're Jewish?
