The Worst MySpace Glitter Gifs to Send To Your Professor
I remember back in the early days of Facebook when professors weren't sure if they should get in on the action or not. Back then Facebook was a cool new thing that only college kids were doing, you know, like playing crazy drinking games, watching foreign films or experimenting with lesbianism. Professors didn't quite know if they should get in on the action. Would it be weird? Would it be creepy? Would it be like showing up slightly tipsy at a campus bar and making out with a kid from their Latin class? No one knew.
So I had one tech savvy professor tell me, that she had satiated her curiosity for social networking, while circumventing the Facebook awkwardness by signing up for a MySpace account. I was amazed. Not only did this make her the first person I knew on MySpace that did not own a minimum 4 pairs of camouflage pants. It also presented a pretty interesting communication opportunity.
At the surface level MySpacing your professor is the same as any other form of communication, like emailing or calling. But with social networking sites you also have the added intrigue of being able to see their personal photos. Still, if they're going to openly campaign for RateMyProfessor.com "hotness" chili peppers in class, I think they've made themselves fair game to the occasional photo-ogle. What MySpace offers that Facebook doesn't however, is the opportunity to communicate with your professor through glitter gifs. These are little cute pieces of "artwork" that are made so teenagers and/or people who act like teenagers into their adulthood can express their emotion in pre-made gif form. (That demographic description is meant to encompass both the emotionally immature, and the 45 year old dudes who pretend to be sweet cherubic tweens from Nebraska on ChatRoulette.com just to show you their dong.)
Still, what's appropriate to send to your high school friends, might not be appropriate for the student-teacher relationship. Here are some of the top glitter gifs that professors will find offensive:
Why It's Not Appropriate: Because he still wont change your physics grade.
Why It's Not Appropriate: Even though your psych professor really, and we mean really, gets attached to her lab rats, we're pretty sure this term is offensive. To women. Or rats. Or at least hoods.
Why It's Not Appropriate: It says to your professor, "I respect neither your course material nor the sanctity of the add-drop period. While I may have falsely given you the impression that I desired to take your class on Dissecting Kierkegaard, I was really just waiting for a spot to open in The Use of Marimba in Francophone Africa because that professor totally has more chili peppers than you."
Why It's Not Appropriate: The beauty of the sentiment fails to obscure the ugliness of the grammar. No one with a phD is going to let you anywhere near their, um, hole, if you're mixing up your "yours".
Why It's Not Appropriate: Nah, this one looks fine.
