So, whoops. I'm really bad at updating this damn thing, i doubt i'm getting credit for it at this point, it being almost a week late, but, i'd like to put in my two cents about the Jon Stewart Commencement address for William and Mary University. I enjoyed his liberal (if you'll pardon the pun) use of comedy and the actual messages he put forth in his speech; the ideas that central to your life should be helping other people.
I would hope that his messages were well received, but i can;t help feeling that, considering my own college experience i can only assume that some people took it wrong, laughed at the jokes and missed the messages, and i feel like those were the very people he was trying to reach.
I wouldnt doubt that you are right. I guess we can only hope that some individuals got the message. Based on class discussion i think many did.
