11:00 PM (HEADLINING, BABY)

Whenever I think of propaganda I think of Propagandhi (which is actually the name of a band that Rockstar introduced me to, as I recall). Whenever I think of Gandhi I think of my sister’s computer, freshman year at Carleton. I was installing a tank game called Bolo and noticed that the file for her final essay in one class was named “FUCK GANDHI”.

Quite a bold statement. It seemed so uncharacteristic that I’m not sure I was supposed to know about it. Come to think of it, I don’t think that you’re supposed to know. I don’t think Google is supposed to know, either, even though anyone that types ‘fuck gandhi’ in the search engine will now be directed to this post.

Kinda cool, in that respect. I’ll have to remember to turn off comments for this post at some point.
