Yep, leftist program. Buzzwords: "cultural," "maligned," "misunderstood," "sociology," "shatter stereotypes." That's a lot of money that could have paid the living wages of a few poor people.

What's worse, the government paid for this textbook I got once with pictures of some slutty Italian statue in it! I think it was called "The Erotic Adventure of David".
The most mundane thing I ever heard was about this guy who woke up once.

Stripping is not a cultural art form. Although it is a means of entertainment. It certainly doesn't require a $50,000 grant to write a history of it in book form.
"One day somebody decided it would be profitable to have women remove their clothing in front of groups of men for money." "A lot of men liked this idea." "Some women objected, while others made a living from it that they might not otherwise have made." "Then some fool decided to write a history of it, and conned a gullible government into thinking it was relevant." "THE END."
Where's my 50 grand?

chimp, I thought. Orangutans are orange, have smaller ears, and can be found with all the best dialogue in a Terry Pratchett novel.

I regard that last remark as demeaning to all bears (except, perhaps that ratty-looking fellow in the Molsen commercials who hasn't got the sense to get a 21-year-old bear to buy his beer for him). I hereby demand an apology for having offended my gentle sensibilities. [/rant]
Having said that, how can I sign up for that research job?

Granted, this "study" is based in Canada, but it sounds like the sort of thing Bill Clinton would be supporting. I can see it all now: "Hilary, honey, its all for a good cause! Really! We need to help these poor ladies hands on! Er, face to face! Er, one on one! I have to read this stuff - its part of the job!"
You don't think the Clinton One World Government Conspiracy has infiltrated Canada, do you?
