actually, the cup (or the cauldron, in modern wicca) is NOT an “inverted phallus” but its feminine (and -I guess, but I’m an hellenic pagan, not a wiccan so I’m not sure- more powerful)counterpart. the statement isn’t completely wrong, so.
that being said, the paper is absolutely nuts and so the tattoo… 😉

As a heavily modified person, a body piercing shop owner, and a full-time registered nursing student I veiw this essay as a fucking joke and a slam on the credibility to all heavily modified college students. I am no idiot to the fact that what I choose to do to my body is sometimes held agaisnt me and my professors hold a stigma to the modified person as a non-serious student and perhaps other negitive things. As stubborn as I want to be about that stance I know it wont change and I’d be ignorant to think it would. Through alot of hard work, dedication and persistance I maintain a 3.5 GPA and prove to the doubting thomas that I am not all the thing they may imagine me to be. I think that as a community of people we need to continue to hold fast together and continue to prove who we are. I know I’m doing my part, as for the ‘student’ that wrote this, they obvious should have known that reveiwing a pornographic (not to mention pretty offensive to most on all fronts) film for a college level class would not be appropriate. When I see this I think the person was trying to be a smart ass and deserves the grade they got. An ‘F’. I’m not gunna fall over like a blind sheep and think this is artsy or insightful, to me, its insulting and offensive as a serious student.

First, for as much as I know, it’s not real “fecal matter” but chickpea pulp. Second, the tattoo really lacks talent, and third, the text really lacks talet as well 🙂 The subject of the two girls and one cup might absolutely lend itself to a discourse analysis from a similar sort of perspective, but seriously – it takes some knowledge and quite some brains to make it fun and just not stupid rambling.
Cheers! 🙂

As a teaching assistant at a large university, I assure you that not all markers handwrite. Also, I would not give this paper a 0. I was actually in a position once where I had to deduct marks if students did explictly describe the sex practices of a particular tribe of people. Pornography is a legitimate medium to critize, perhaps much more so that dead literature that hardly anyone reads voluntarily.

#28… it’s a decently written paper and you dont know what the assignment was. 2girls1cup is now a cultural icon, and realistically just because it’s not pg doesnt mean it shouldnt be a valuable way to interpret culture. if you pride yourself so much in being intellectual and part of the creative body community, you should be able to see that there’s more than one road to being “smart.” you dont have to write all your papers on niche.

On the subject of the post – I really don’t agree that writing should be marked as a fail because it’s extreme in any one way or another, writing is writing. My two cents..

#33- I’m a troll because I hold pride in my acedemic aptitude?
#38- Where there is a will, There is a way.
#39- I will disagree with you on the fact that the paper is decently written. When looking at formal grammer and stlye of professional prose it is fraught with error. I will agree with you that there is value in writing formal prose on informal subject matter. Trust me, I’ve wrttien my share. What I’m saying is that that for a college level course this subject is a little too informal. This person isn’t sitting around a frat beer pong table and jackin jaw with their friends. They should have expected the grade they received.
