Librarians have been complaining for years about how their image is portrayed in popular culture. Maybe they should do something about it and not exacerbate ridiculous stereotypes supported by things like cute shushing librarian action figures and frivilous book cart drill teams. I don’t think these things are funny or entertaining. But here is something funny–I’m not a librarian.

Mogwai tickets $95?

Is this a joke? I’ve seen Sonic Youth for $20 in Chicago and am going to see My Bloody Valentine in San Francisco for far less than this.
