The visuals at the beginning are unintentionally hilarious--a guy on 
the steps throws something on the ground (hey! no littering, dude!), 
a student in a sparsely filled lecture covers his face then rubs it 
as if trying to stay awake, a girl in bright yellow checks her watch, 
another guy mutters to himself, the Chinese guys look like a cruel 
WWII parody of jutty-toothed chinks, and poor ACC battles with giant 
chartreuse prompt sheets and drones through his bureaubabble, almost 
all his fabled poetry absent. Ah well.
