I have research paper due at 8am that is only 5 pages long. And by research paper, it is probably more correct to call it a literature review that will eventually become an application of the principles of visual rhetoric to analyze an artifact of my choice. Completely do able.If I could only come up with a fucking topic.But every time I halfway come up with a topic, I can't find any research on my topic. Academic Source Premier just gives irrelevant articles or article comments. I would kick a puppy at this point if it would solve my problem of not having a topic that I could find some research for. ok, I wouldn't really kick the puppy, but I am tearing my hair out presently.

3/12/2009 2:47:26 AM
get to work bitch!
3/12/2009 2:47:44 AM
plenty of time
3/12/2009 2:50:27 AM
I could get this done in no time if I just had a topic, but everyone I come up with is just a dead end and waste of at least 30 to 40 minutes.

might wanna throw out what the general assignment is and what class it is for
3/12/2009 2:53:25 AM

HOW ABOUT A TOPIC ON BLUE COCK

If you were really good, things like "topics" and "research" would be less important than you're making them.There comes a point in a man's life when he has to take a deep breath and write several pages of absolute horse shit because it's better than nothing.[Edited on March 12, 2009 at 2:55 AM.

so what image/artifact are you working on right now?
3/12/2009 3:07:35 AM
i did a 20 page paper on jacques-louis david's napoleonic paintings. this should be easy.
3/12/2009 3:08:22 AM
I don't have an image/artifact presently because I don't have a topic.I am thinking of something to do with propaganda/music/advertising.
3/12/2009 3:15:11 AM
granted i have absolutely no idea what your class is about, but if you want music/propaganda/advertising, how about the recording industry's copyright campaigns?Lots of material but I don't know if any of it will fit your visual rhetoric stuff.
3/12/2009 3:24:48 AM
like the relationship between propaganda/music/advertising i.e. mcdonald's using hip hop music as a part of target marketing?
3/12/2009 3:25:08 AM
ok, so now that I have a topic, I have to shift thru the mountains of crap to find the research that helps me get this done.My thesis is What is the difference between marketing and propaganda and how propaganda is used by the RIAA.Know any tricks that will help me rule out all of the un-needed junk like "Soviet Propaganda of the 1970s"?

let us know how it turned out.
3/12/2009 8:04:15 AM
I hope it turned out alright for you.However, folks on here are right. This assignment was designed for BS. You could have written pretty much whatever you damn well pleased, and it would have been very unlikely that you could have been proven wrong. It is my understanding that most COM classes can be thought of in this manner.oh, and you don't know tough until you have to submit an NSF grant proposal. Holy fuck.

When I took this class, I did my final paper on this image:Wrote all 17 pages of it in one night, and absolutely beasted it. It wasn't a bad class, looking back. It is pretty much an invitation to completely bullshit about a topic as long as you throw in a few terms and references.
3/12/2009 8:35:11 AM
I can write the final paper, just not this stupid literature review junk because I can't find any research on it. I had it about half done and then came to realization that my research sources had nothing to remotely do with my actual artifact so I said fuck it, I'll look for an extension; which I know is really lame but I just couldn't turn that in. Having nothing in this case is actually better than what I had.
