Very amusing.

I have to admit, that faux anthropology paper cracked me up.

One of my friends is trying to get published right now and it sucks. I love anthropology but some of the literature you have to read is shameful.
-
Anthropology isn't the only field plagued by papers like that. Publish, publish, publish.
-
oh for sure. I'm a library sciences M.A. and if anything it's worse there. It's just that it's less of an eye-catching tale of woe.
I know a guy that got published 3 times in a year by publishing two-page-long "slices" of what was originally a 6-7 page long article.

"Clive,
I am writing to inform you that my editor has removed the exchange between the attractive dwarf and the elf-maiden in its entirety. This scene, of course, was absolutely crucial in establishing the love triangle between the attractive dwarf, the elf-maiden, and the somewhat-less-attractive-but-still-comely-elf-prince. My editor’s concern appears to be moral in nature: the dwarf’s request that the elf-maiden search his pants, coupled with the elf-maiden’s insistence that there would be nothing in there to find, appears to be inappropriate in a work intended primarily for children."
