“He could watch 666 episodes of ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ …and wonder at how much sex doctors have with their colleagues in American hospitals.”
Alec Ash of lime green 6 ruminates over how the over 1000 hours of compulsory “Political Thought” classes Chinese students take from elementary school to college could be better spent:
Anyway you tot that first set of numbers up, it comes to comfortably over a thousand hours by the time a Chinese student graduates from university. A thousand! Think of how a student could spend that time instead:
1) He could watch 666 episodes of ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ on Youku.com and wonder at how much sex doctors have with their colleagues in American hospitals.
2) He could eat 7,347 packs of instant noodles.
3) He could mine 89,558,324 gold in World of Warcraft.
4) He could … oh I don’t know … study something else? Like Adam Smith! And the founding fathers of America! (Kidding.)
I will not be so cocky as to call this time wasted, but you all know I’m thinking it.
