Perhaps exemplifying this more than we'd like to admit, many of my peers in the 2nd year of Concordia's Media Studies program have one after another taken on The Wire as their thesis-writing-distraction-of-choice. Because we're all at different parts of the series (we all use the same DVD copies, and rotate them), we've made a joke out of the exchanging of the discs, using it as an opportunity to use Wire-catchphrases and simulate drug deals. Anyway.. one of the culprits, Dallas, took a few photos of the act and posted it on her blog so I figured I'd make mention and link.
