A Cause Without A Rebel

It isn't often that I take any sort of political leaning on my blog. In fact it isn't often that I blog.
However, when I heard that Glenn Beck was opening a "University", well, I felt the need to point out some potential flaws. An article from CBS can be found here along with a picture of the "crest".

1. The Crest- As you can see from the photo in the link this University emblem is a monument to basic latin and bad clip art. Furthermore, it looks like a rejected Harry Potter house and if anything, being green and black, it seems like a rejected crest for Slytherin. Doesn't Glenn Beck know that those are the bad guys? No, because I find it incredibly unlikely that Glenn Beck has read Harry Potter.
2. Tuition- A year (classes run July, August, September so a year seems a bit of a rip) costs $74.95. For $39 you can get a year subscription of Sports Illustrated which would probably give you better informed content and a football phone as opposed to three months of having to "attend" "lectures" at a University that doesn't actually exist.
3. Fraternities- There aren't any mostly because GBU doesn't have any buildings. Because it basically doesn't exist. But if there was I'm pretty sure every "student" would want to be in Phi Omega-douche. Wordplay!
4. Why?- The thing I don't understand is this: why is this even necessary? It's not like Glenn Beck desparately needs a platform to express his views. I can just log onto google, yahoo, youtube, facebook, or anything online and hear him talk. So why should I pay $74.95 for MORE of that. Furthermore, it's not even Glenn Beck, it's three other guys. If he wants to make some online video series then just do that. Don't make it into some pretentious "university".

Anyway, that's all I can really say on that subject but I'm sure there are plenty more people typing away, specifically in comments sections of articles, on this subject. What's next? Sarah Palin hosting a nature show? oh no.....
