Frankly, it kind of bugs me that Zizek always gets prime airplay whenever something happens. I mean it's not like he spouts nonsense; but he has a slim knowledge of the details. He can't possibly know the details, since he's to go-to left guy for anything that might happen anywhere in the world. After a while, it all just starts to feel like word play.

No one wants to read that part. They want to fixate on the word and go Nyah! Nyah!
