...More recently, a U.S. version of “Kath & Kim,” Australia’s Logie-winning favorite, enjoyed only a brief, critically disastrous stay on NBC last year. In retrospect, though, creators Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant seem to have stumbled upon one of the hardiest premises in television history; “The Office” has been successfully transported to France, Canada, Germany, and Chile. The largely unimpressive pilot of the American “Office” had an almost identical script to that of the British premiere. Slough became Scranton, Tim became...
...most often ourselves—about what we should be doing at what time and where. We cannot afford to be uncertain. As such, it shouldn’t be a surprise that many Harvard students struggle with mental health issues. Ours is an unforgiving environment, even for the hardiest of minds. Our challenge is that we experience so much that is disorienting in our lives, in a culture that demands us to be goal-oriented.

Really, “bounces” is an understatement: the slew of sexual scenarios trotted out before our eyes are enough to dizzy the hardiest of fans. Images of a B-movie shot atop an apartment building are interspersed with those of an old woman scrubbing the floor on hands and knees, and both are equally titillating to unfunny sometime-comedian David Cross, whose inclusion in the video merely serves to justify indie sex and swagger...
