Title: What a Bunch of Academic Twaddle!
Product review: I'm probably numb to the nuances of Cultural Criticism, but the essays in this book are the worst sort of claptrap from grimly earnest strivers in the groves of academe.Trying to evaluate the cultural significance of The Simpsons is a fool's game--it's there in plain sight every night in reruns--but these authors are undeterred. They are bound and determined to override a work of collaborative genius with their own stale biases and canned interpretations.And not a one of them shows a sense of humor, so far as I could discover. The writers and illustrators of The Simpsons are miles ahead of these writers in evaluating contemporary culture.Maggie would not countenance their hogwash.
