CMW043: You’re not Luke Skywalker and this isn’t Star Wars

feedback@noodle.mx (Noodle.mx Network) — Wed, 16 May 2012 13:58:59 +0000

The subtitle for this episode is, “Tell me what you think, I don’t care what you feel”. It is partially an exploration of something that is a pet peeve of mine, but I think it also reflects a corruption of the culture and language that is reaching epidemic proportions today.

The results are certainly interesting but probably not in the way those who will shill it think. Notes I originally [...] No related posts.
