Star Wars 3: The Marxist market analysis

So it's been half a year since I posted this silly little thing to get Star Wars III out of my head. Let's tally up the Google placings for the search strings that've showed up on the logs, in decreasing order so I can pretend anyone cares:

#500-something: Marxist analysis
#40: osb
(Still a ways to go before I've got the Order of St. Benedict beat. RAAR! Smash monks!)

#31: star wars analysis
#20: flaws of capitalism
#6: star wars 3 analysis
#5: marxist film analysis
#4: star wars revenge of the sith marxism
#3: star wars historical analysis / marxist analysis film
#2: Marxist analysis of Star Wars / marxist critique reading of star wars
#1: star wars marxist analysis / star wars 3 (ideological values) / "Marxist dream"

I also rank #30 for "dream analysis", but only when searching exclusively within the UK — otherwise, it falls off the end of Google's thousand-return limit.

In closing, I hope I've demonstrated that the internet is a glorious pile of arse where even some snotty brat like me can outrank serious dialectic-materialistic analysis of pop culture. Thank you and goodnight.

A group of fine young lads on the row in front of me. One of them was wearing a WWJD wristband.

While the poor lecturer was trying to get the point across about disjunct sets and their applications to computer algorithms, this modest Christian was pointing out an ad to his friends: 37" flatscreens on sale. And it wasn't even in the newspaper, it was from a mass mailing.

For once, I'm glad to see the attendees thinning out as the semester progresses.
