Raygunned

When she's not handing in dissertations linking gender deterritorialisation, crappy dance moves and pretentious drivel via post-structuralism among the rhythmically challenged among us, she's trying to pull kangaroo shapes on the world stage.

Raygun truly is the spiritual successor to St. Vitus, at least when it comes to dancefloor prowess.

She holds a PhD in Cultural Studies, and her primary area of research is the gender politics and performances within breaking (breakdancing) culture.

 Sounds useful. I wonder how many job opportunities that will lead to?

Don't get me wrong. If Dr. Gunn went to the Olympics off her own back, and managed to bluff her way in despite being extremely close to talent-free, I would view her as some sort of folk hero. I would kneel down before her and proceed to kiss her scuffed trainers (metaphorically, obviously) as well as being impressed by the amount of gall shown to actually have the tenacity to go through with it all - whether it be delusional or not. Scoring nil points, as she did, would be the icing on the cake.

The fact that the Australian taxpayer is footing the bill, as well as subsidising whatever the hell she's supposed to be studying just doesn't seem to sit well.
