Rich with innuendo

Posted by Mona -

Harvard psychology professors - they’re just like us! They watch movies, too:

Buscemi lets a fifty dollar bill peak out of the wallet and suggests, “I was just thinking we could take care of it right here, in Brainerd.” Buscemi’s character hopes to bribe to cop, but chooses to veil his offer.

Stephen Pinker, a distinguished professor at Harvard University, is in the middle of a promotional tour for his book The Stuff of Thought. In a lecture at The Philadelphia Free Library, he used Fargo as an example of innuendo. Saying it without saying it, shall we say.

Thus, the cop is allowed to choose between a relationship of domination and one of reciprocity.

Yes, well… we all know how well that worked out for the cop.
