The amazing Title generator

[baleanoptera]

I have found something wonderful:


The Amazing and Incredible, only-slightly laughable, Politically Unassailable, Po-Mo English Title Generator.


In short it does what it say - makes up random titles should you need one.
Let's test it by typing in for instance Tolkien:

1# The Symbolic Queering The Invader: JRR Tolkien, Lord of the Rings and Voices
2# The Semiotics of Supplement and the Progenitive in JRR Tolkien's Lord of the Rings
3# Subjectivity and Textuality in Lord of the Rings: JRR Tolkien Re-marking Male Madness
4# Deviant Dis-ease and the Degeneration of Aesthetic Response in JRR Tolkien's Lord of the Rings
5# Initiation as Self: Be-guiling Dialogic Subject in JRR Tolkien's Lord of the Rings

Or what about Harry Potter?

1# Naming, Interpolating, (Re)producing: Breath in JK Rowling and the Migratory Silence of Complicity in Harry Potter
2# The Depression of Capitalism and the Dialogic in JK Rowling's Harry Potter
3# Fetishing the Primal Madness in JK Rowling: Harry Potter and Womanhood
4# Speaking Intersection: Outraged Intolerance in JK Rowling's Harry Potter
5# Random Ethnocentrism and the Autobiography of Queer Alterity in JK Rowling's Harry Potter

I probably shouldn't find this so funny - but I do, I do!

I see that I'm going to have to change my thesis topic right away, so I can use this marvellous contraption! (Are you, by any chance, familiar with the postmodernism generator (http://www.elsewhere.org/pomo)?)

Hee! I know. I tried it for Homer as well, but then it turned up things like:
1# The Subjectivity of Production and the Transgendered in Homer's The Iliad
2# Production and Darkness in The Iliad: Homer Complicating Mythical Materialism
3#Queering, Protesting, Destabilizing: Ethnicity in Homer and the Aesthetic Fetishization of Territories in The Iliad

Among other things, and it occurred to me that I wouldn't mind reading any of those. I especially like the Aesthetic Fetishization of Territories in The Iliad Puts a new swing on the windy plains of Troy doesn't it. ;)

And no, I hadn't read the postmodern-generator, but that was awesome! It took me a few sentences to catch on though - but that is the brilliance of it.

3# Fetishing the Primal Madness in JK Rowling: Harry Potter and Womanhood
It's funny because it's scarily accurate. I'm sure that there's a dissertation out there somewhere that fetishes Rowling's Primal Madness all over the place!

Oh, why wasn't this around whilst I was doing my senior thesis?

I was thinking the exact same thing!

It's like those monkeys with typewriters: eventually, you'll get just the right title.

Scary post-modern monkeys then. ;P Deconstructing themselves all while typing. *g*

I know! And if there isn't, then there should be. I also found Tolkien #3 very apt:Subjectivity and Textuality in Lord of the Rings: JRR Tolkien Re-marking Male Madness
That sounds like a perfect dissertation about Gondor to me. ;P
