Look, everybody has a dealbreaker.

WHICH IS WORSE:

a)  Not knowing who Trotsky is?

or

b)  Not knowing who Joy Division is?

I am not going on a date with this person, even if that means I’m an elitist jackass.  Insert arugula joke here.

    Ugh. I feel like not knowing Joy Division is almost worse, because you could probably find excuses for his not knowing Trotsky (like, um, idiocy?) but Joy Division? Does he know about this thing called “popular culture” or “the late twentieth century”?

    Possible chink in the elitism armor: both those links point to Joy Division’s Wikipedia entry.

    Now I’m confused about Trotsky.

    Fixed! Now you can go read pretty much everything Trotsky ever wrote.
