Jeremy spoke in the Registry Quad today.
Aug. 3rd, 2006 04:58 pmWell, that was Jeremy, eh? Three words: So. Utterly. Boring.
So, if you're a religious group who's going to be all culty and meme yourself up a crowd of people, at least have a speaker who can orate, rather than just sucking. I've seen better preachers on street corners - and not even the special kind that are as crazy as a sackful of cats. Making the gospel sound as stimulating as a stocktaking catalogue isn't a particularly good strategy for encouraging people to listen.
After all the marketing hype, I feel let down. It's like ordering a filet mignon, and getting a tough, boiled steak with canned mushroom sauce on top. Even a challenging taste is better than utterly bland. Perhaps all those people wearing the T-shirts just said they agreed with Jeremy to get him to stop talking. I know I was glad I had a meeting to go to.
