The Rhetoric of Reputation

I thought Calpernia here made quite a nice verbal argument for her case through her use of sarcasm. Just thought it was a good example of clever oral rhetoric in my opinion.

Came across this and thought it was kind of topical with what we discussed a few weeks ago.

I'm going to go ahead an just link this because it exceeds PG language, but has anyone else come across this image yet? This is a good example of just how viral campaigning (from third party computer users) has gotten. I can't stop laughing when I see this, especially when I get to the last few lines of reading it aloud.

A friend of mine directed me over to this and it reminded me of some of the humor strategies we talked about in class today. I think they just did it to point out the silliness of it all, and I thought you guys might appreciate the humor here, as well.

Has anyone heard about this yet? It's incredible that this case is leading to such benefits. I wonder if that could lead to everyone undergoing a procedure to crank up the intensity and current of the electrodes in the mind to create science fiction visions of the future.

I am going to write my paper about how the AFI Official Message Board (specifically the 10th Circle, a subforum for off topic discussion) discusses animal cruelty in relation to eating or shopping habits. This came about because the topic is so frequently argued there. Should be interesting!

More from those crazy kids on 4chan. Anyone else wonder if we'll see protesters at the one on the drag?
