My face is on fire

If all this talk about the Islam religion and of course the soon to be celebrated Reason for the Season has you confused, you can sign up for a class being taught at Siena Heights University that examines the intersection between spirituality and pop culture.

Sure, it sounds like a great time, but it is being taught at a Catholic school so I doubt this would be any crib course. In addition, you’d have to move to Adrian, MI, a Lenawee Community, whatever that means. The class does require you to read some texts as well, so you won’t just be sitting around discussing the finer points of each episode, drinking beer. That’s called Friday night in the Michigan State dorms.

Regardless of the requirements, I’m just glad to see that someone is recognizing the intelligence behind the Simpsons. Where else can you learn such great life lessons like coating your mouth with wax will negate the effects of the world’s hottest pepper and the “women are like beer, it looks good, it smells good, and you’d step over your own dead mother to get another one.” I wonder if they’ll offer this course online.
