Video: So you want to get a Ph.D. in political science?

Another in the nasty-yet-spot-on series of animated satires that skewer academic fields and the students who study them.

Andrew Sullivan of the Atlantic magazine calls it:

A lovely rip-off of the moronic quantification and irrelevance of what now passes for political science. It's why I escaped from this faux-bullsh*t-science that has no grasp of history, philosophy, or politics ... Man is this on the mark. And I say that as someone with a Harvard PhD in political science. Who ran - not walked - to the exits.
