Yesterday, a fellow PCV and I gave a one-hour, introductory presentation to a local High School about the basics of United States' culture. As anyone who just read that sentence knows, it's a pretty big mistake to give me this kind of responsibility. Considering the audience, I could spew all sorts of bullshit and they would totally eat it up. I could claim that George W. Bush's punishment for such a joke of a presidency was a permanent assignment as lemonparty webmaster, and they would believe it. This was my chance to really screw up a bunch of gullible kids and tell them that most Americans are either Druids or firm believers in the Church of Scientology. To be honest I'm not sure which is less logical. Jk druids are chill.
Anyway, the kids learned the following information:
1. Biggie Smalls is awesome and everybody loves him
2. There is nothing in Iowa
3. The Yankees, Giants, Knicks and Tar Heels are the only important teams. NY Rangers too if you wanna get crazy.
4. Miley Cyrus' "Party in the U.S.A." is what America is all about
All in all I think those kids learned some valuable stuff. My only regret is not squeezing Ke$ha in there.
P.S. to those of you in the US, is Ke$ha actually popular over there or is it just some freak sensation among PC Morocco?
WAKE UP IN THE MORNIN FEELIN LIKE P. DIDDY
ReplyDeleteis that Kei#@!$$SHA? i don know but i do know that that song has perhaps the greatest opening line ever. but its wasted on a shitty song.
does morocco show mad love to Lady Gaga or perhaps just Lady Antebellum?
surprisingly, there is not crazy love for gaga. i heard it a couple times but people seem to prefer awkward arabic covers of akon instead.
ReplyDeleteyea tho, that the first line of tik tok is pure lyrical genius.
