AboutThe original academe was a society whose purpose it was to promote a particular aspect of knowledge or culture. This community is for people who enjoy The Daily Show and The Colbert Report, but are frustrated with the influx of fans who don't have the ability to critically think about issues.
Or, in plainer speak: no fangirls, no slash, no fluff*. This is a place to talk about the shows and what's on the shows with people who can actually finish a sentence without saying "squee" and who realize that sometimes, a slice of pizza is just a slice of pizza. If you insist on squees and pizzasex, this is not the place for you.
Your moderator is a cranky graduate student with little patience. Don't piss her off.
Oh, and please read our FAQ.
*No, this doesn't mean people can't post funny, fluffy, sense of humour things. We're not all suits'n'tea'n'crumpets here. But, in the wise words of one member, this is more than an online, The Daily Show/The Colbert Report themed Tiger Beat. Just use common sense!
Other Communities
![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif)
thedailyshow: The main LiveJournal community for The Daily Show. Less active than colbert_report, it still generates a good 45 posts per evening show commentary.
colbert_report: The main LiveJournal community for The Colbert Report; very large and moderated. Look for upwards of 300 posts per nightly recap post.
tds_tcr_standby: An excellent source for ticketing information, including ticket trades.
tds_tcr_snark: Wanna be snarky about fans, or the show? This is the community for it, not tds_tcr_academe.
