This week, molecular biology student, Jack Johnston ‘16 watched every single episode of House of Cards. He claims the show gave him a better insight into politics, and has fueled his passion for violence.
In his interview with The Freudian Slip, he described his personal transformation. Johnston began to grovel and talk to inanimate objects.
“I’ve loved biology ever since I got to Clark, but when I laid my eyes upon Francis Underwood, everything in me changed.” Johnston now claims that whenever he sees a desk he must bang forcefully upon the wood, and in his words,“Knock knock”.
Once Johnston had caught up on the series, he went directly to the registrar’s office to change his major to Political Science.“I mean, I didn’t know how much fun watching politics was; I thought it was bunch of bullshit talking old white men” Johnston states. Apparently, this has been a phenomena ever since the show began streaming on Netflix. Adjunct Political Science Professor at Clark, Elizabeth Cruz claims the department has “doubled in size, tripled in egotistical tantrums, and quadrupled in shitty southern drawls”.
Johnston, when asked if he wants to become President of the United States in the future replied, “You might very well think that, but I couldn’t possibly comment”.
