BECAUSE AMERICA NEEDS MORE COLONS IN ITS TITLES: When I was editing my law journal in law school, we had an author who wanted her paper titled "The Flim-Flam Father And The Fifth Amendment," in spite of the fact that her paper (on tax law!) had exactly nothing to do with the Fifth Amendment. In her honor, a challenge for you, dear readers--please come up with appropriate (albeit made up) academic paper titles about pop cultural subjects. A few proposals to get you started:
  • Legendary!: How I Met Your Mother and the Unreliable Narrator
  • "Follow The Evidence:" CSI and the Search for Truth
  • The Banker's Rule: Irrationality and Game Theory in Deal Or No Deal
  • A Very Merry Chrismukkah: Syncretic Theology in The O.C.
  • Nothing Ever Changes In Scranton: Exisentialism and The Office
