Anyway, my suggestion is to subtly steer your class from the pop culture subject to one about pop culture as materialism, which is pregnant with racy possibilities. Talk about the dearth of substance of the lyrics and the lack of innovation in the lyrics / television show situations / etc. Talk about the role of fashion and product! Make it a class about how predictable and shallow and mass-produced pop culture is! Or bring in Marxist criticism! Make it fun -- get yourself fired! Controversy!
Or do you have to do something different?
Ja, lesson plans. Fuck 'em.

Fuck it, all the articles are geared in that direction anyway. I might as well embrace the evils of materialism in my lectures! I'll whip that brainwashing right out of them by the end of the semester. Hell, the department picked the books and the readings, so its not my fault if I have to get a little risky. Just don't badmouth Republicans, right? You can get shot for that.
Almost done with my lesson plan. :P

Now the Student Government (composed fully of self-proclaimed Republicans) is clamoring for "academic freedom" in a horribly unpredicted backlash.
Shit!!
Anyway, good luck. I think a more appropriate metaphor concerning the position of your balls would be food processor.
