Education , education

A woman called Amanda Griffiths is going to do a PhD in Air Guitar at the University of Salford.
I hate to think I have to contribute tax to pay for this kind of shit. She says ‘I’m fascinated, some might say obsessed, with air guitar’, maybe she should be in therapy rather than higher education.

No doubt someone else will be hot on her heels researching why people sometimes peel the labels off empty beer bottles or other such burning issues.

Hand her a real guitar and see what she can do. Probably nothing.

thats… a little disturbing

maybe she can get with the mime professors and start an air band?

better yet, lets just find a shadow-boxing professor to kick her ass.

“People who don’t know me are very amused, generally bewildered,” said Ms Griffiths, who is funding her studies herself.

Well at least she’s paying for it herself, but honestly, it’s ridiculous.

Thanks for your interest, folks - I’m finding it incredible that my research area is so controversial. My understanding of PhDs (and it’s not extensive, admittedly…) is that you can probably research absolutely anything, as what you are trying to do is prove your skills as a researcher. So, in terms of my topic, I’ll be looking at the cultural impacts of the air guitar phenomenon, and situating that within critical theory. Hope this helps!

I can play Fire in my heart by the great Super Furry Animals; badly!

I think Amanda, that you’re gorgeous! Though I’ve no idea what you look like, I’d love to have air sex. I might feature air guitar on my website. If you want a page on my website email me, or visit the messageboard.
