Why Demi’s song? Well she contributed a line here or there in the midst of the input of both myself and Simon’s strange lyrical ideas; aka genuis but not so much.

There is a common conversational phenomenon in this world between what I like to categorize as two breeds of people: (1) People who have left the university system and – unless they have become foot-long, knife-wielding psycho-murderer-killers who have a concurrent sexual fixation on microwave ovens – are now working and by all standards considered to be positive, contributing members of society at large; and (2) University students.

The show turns 18 this week and we’re celebrating by insulting our entire audience. What started off as an innocent request for advice turned into all of you being fat pigs. Sorry.
