"The Unbearable Whiteness of Barbie: Race and Popular Culture in the United States" is a class offered at Occidental College in California. The course studies ways in "which scientific racism has been put to use in the making of Barbie [and] to an interpretation of the film �The Matrix' as a Marxist critique of capitalism."
The same college also offers "Stupidity," a class which studies comparisons between the American president and "Beavis and Butthead."
At Alfred University, students can enroll in "Nip, Tuck, Perm, Pierce, and Tattoo: Adventures with Embodied Culture." Those in this class will study "teeth whitening, tanning, shaving, and hair dyeing" in addition to watching Arnold Schwarzenegger's bodybuilding movie, "Pumping Iron."

Reminds me of Harrison Ford recounting his experience as a bad guy on Gunsmoke.
Ford gets shot and drops dead, dropping his gun. Gun bounces back into his teeth as he's coming down. Studio sends him
to the dentist they have on retainer. Dentist does a horrible job, and Ford is in pain, so he goes to sue the dentist.
Dentist had sold practice and moved on.
Dental pain and back pain are probably the worst kinds and the most difficult to heal.
Bad dentists are really a horror. They get more money per square inch of body and often care little for the outcome. But the good dentists make up for them.
