JAMES FRANCO!
James Franco can do anything. He's hosting the Oscars the same year that he's nominated (and expected to win). He's been everything from Spiderman's nemesis to the bear to Sean Penn's twink in Milk. He created one of the most memorable stoner characters since Cheech and Chong. What else is there left to do?
Well James Franco found a new passion in life: teaching. While this doesn't seem too revolutionary, not many people teach a class...about themselves. That's right James Franco is teaching a class about James Franco. However inexplicable the logic may be that a school is actually putting James Franco 101 on their curriculum, it is cancelled out by the sheer awesomeness that Franco is teaching the class himself.
Not only is this revolutionary from an egomaniac's standpoint, but this could revolutionize our school system. During last week's State of the Union, President Obama called this our "Sputnik" moment. A moment in which we would realize our potential and go back to the days where America was innovative and not China's bitch. If last week was our Sputnik moment, James Franco is our Apollo 11.
We should seriously consider the Franco educational model. Let classes be taught by the people who they're learning about. Why not have Friedrich Nietzsche teach a class on existentialism? Why not have Napoleon teach a class on European History? Why not have George Clooney teach a class on being a douche bag? Our children could learn a lot more if they're taught by the people they're learning about and not a bunch of old "intellectuals" who were stupid enough to major in English and History.
