    Why do these colleges keep inviting these chucklefucks to speak to the various student bodies that clearly hate them? Humiliation tour or something? Or are they all completely up their own asses?

      Because the universities are, themselves, riddled with patronage and graft. The privatization of the University systems has turned a lot of these schools into mere extensions of this or that corporate campus. And so the CEOs treat the student body like interns.

      It’s the next step of their indoctrination into corporate wage slaves. They were just convinced to spend tens of thousands of dollars on a half-assed degree, and now you have to set them up for the frustration of either having a terrible entry level grunt job, or no job at all.

      So you send in a Captain of Industry to encourage them to enthusiastically apply their noses to the grindstone in order to reach their dreams of success.

      Except people are starting to catch on to the scam, and are letting them know.

      Probably to try to get some money in sponsorship. Or because they think these are the really smart guys.
