A choice quote: "It was a joke. We were supposed to learn about media from PSU students, and sure enough... we didn't learn shit. We didn't watch shit. The students could barely talk." Meh maybe it's not that funny, but you get the idea.... My buddy Jesse, a PSU student, was making fun of this in his livejournal today.

I took the day off from work (there's money down the drain) to drive up to Portland (more money down the drain). While there, my car was broken into and my girlfriend had her totebag stolen (even more money down the drain). All this for a one hour panel which had four panel members and a total of 18 attendees (most of whom left early). There was nothing to really argue about-- we all agreed that the media inevitably stereotypes people, that "the media" is not one single entity, etc. etc.. I did confirm that the organizers had indeed believed that the Commentator was very conservative on these issues. I guess they were disappointed that I didn't call for more flamboyant stereotypes of gay men or something. Anyways, it was a giant waste of money and time since the PSU people wouldn't pay for my gas and I had a bunch of school-related shit to do for classes on Wednesday. *Sigh* Well, it pretty much sucked.
