“On this Labor Day, we pay tribute to the librarian. Librarians feed our hunger for knowledge, they steer us down the proper research path, they find us sources and citations, and dig out obscure facts.”
“And though their efforts often go unheralded, now librarians are represented by an action figure. From the company Archie McPhee — offbeat outfitters of popular culture — the librarian action figure joins the ranks of the Albino Bowler action figure, the Sigmund Freud action figure, the coffee shop Barista action figure, and the Jesus action figure.” (from NPR)
that @#$@#$@#$ action figure
I am so sick of being told that I should appreciate that an action figure playing on all librarian stereotypes is supposed to make me happy and proud that my profession is finally getting some well deserved recognition. Puh-leeze!
Re:that @#$@#$@#$ action figure
The problem that I have is that because it’s based on a real person, we look mean-spirited if we criticise it too.
I showed everyone in the library I work at the pictures yesterday. Universal concensus – that jacket is damn ugly.
