eh?

So my paper is arguing (partially) that Cynthia Wolff is wrong when she says in her article "Who is the Narrator of Vanity Fair and Where is He Standing?" that the narrator's ambiguity shows that he is a weak character.  So I search JSTOR and can't find any record of anyone else citing this paper, so I decide to google "Cynthia Wolff" and "Vanity Fair" to see if anything comes up.

And what I get is this.  Turns out a lot of Britney Spears quick-fact sites include the facts that she posed naked for the magazine Vanity Fair and that her engagement ring was designed by one Cynthia Wolff on the same page.  Huh.

Pretty crazy. Anyway, I'm sure you did already, but google:
"vanity fair" "cynthia wolff" -britney
or
"vanity fair" "cynthia wolff" -britney +thackeray

And man, these recent posts would be far more fascinating if I'd read the book.

hahaha probably. Well, this one not-so-much. it translates into "academic subject + google = instant hilarity/wtfness."
