When I mutter about the fourth culture, about the possibility of bridging the cultural chasms separating art and science, I should make it clear that I'm not talking about stuff like this. In fact, I think there's something mildly offensive about turning one of the more profound equations of modern physics into a lame, self-aggrandizing album title.

All sorts of items in the news about science, religion and politics. As a warm-up, here's Christopher Hitchens stating it plain about the odius denizens of the religious right:
Lord Viscount Monckton of Benchley, it turns out, really is a "swivel-eyed maniac". Or at least it is a fair thing to say.
Little Dougie (aka Ian Murphy) has hit the big time: he punked the Governor of Wisconsin, Scott Walker, by calling him up and pretending to be über-Rethuglican puppet mast
I looked through the track titles hoping for a 'Travelling on a light beam' or 'Twin Paradox', but alas, it was just standard torch song fare.
I wonder what the E stands for. Energy? Ecstatic? Some other two cent buzzword that is equivalent to Mariah Carey times Carey?
Emancipation. I thought the least she could do is stick with E = energy
I hope you are just kidding around. Because if you are serious, then I think your offenso-meter is in need of some major fucking recalibration.
Jeez, you're a grump. He was clearly kidding. besides, mariah carey's music is much more offensive than her album title.
Anyone who has a lingerie closet double the size of my apartment and butterflies as mascots has clearly got a good understanding of the important forces in the universe.
Just a genius she is.....

at the risk of further offending the professor, might i add my name to the list of the offended?
i drive a delivery route on the weekends for extra cash, delivering pharmaceuticals to 16 walmart pharmacies in an 8hr span. each store has a large advertisement for mariah's album posted at the entrance.
if they are still up next weekend, i'm bringing some black duct tape. at least for the "e=mc^2" part. ;)
According to this article, the actual title of the album is E=mc{+2}.
I don't quite understand how that got translated into E=mc^2 for the album cover, though. The article goes on at quite a length why the title is "additive, not exponential."
Whatever.
E stands for eeeediot.
