In the spirit of our typical eighth week malaise, and in the name of my final paper, a friend and I decided to make a feeble gesture towards ethnographic fieldwork and, on a whim, hopped on the Megabus – a friendlier and more Midwestern substitute for the eternally endearing Chinatown bus of our past youth – and traveled to the most appealing of regionally-located attractions: the Mall of America.
In honor of this brave expedition, I’ve compiled a rather fragmentary list culled from our live, on-the-ground reporting:
• This is kind of disappointing.
• But not disappointing enough.
• Critically, that is.
• (We were hoping for a Minnesotan Las Vegas.)
• Anyway, we are still horrified.
• And it still qualifies as an example of the Culture Industry writ large.
