AV: The Phantom Menace

AV is dead and buried and it is about time. When I first heard of it, I was amazed that it was receiving so much media attention. Once I understood it, it seemed so completely ridiculous. Then luminaries like Stephen Fry and Colin Firth came out in favor of it. One of my uni professors seemed convinced "its fairer"saying so on more than one occasion causing me to wonder as an American, if there wasn't something I was missing. I asked myself,"could it be that I am missing something here? Do these learned men see something I don't?" Of course, after the measure was so soundly defeated, and common sense actually won out, my initial ideas suspicions were correct. Some ideas really can be taken at face value and as usual, academics and actors are as out of touch as ever.
