I just got some "GET A DEGREE BASED ON LIFE EXPERIENCE!" spam in my inbox. Not such a big deal normally. While it’s true that I’m honoured that Clarence has been trying to get in touch with me; sadly, he doesn’t say who I am. He doesn’t even say what University he’s from. Usually, it’s some cool sounding place.
However, while I am interested in getting a PhD in as little as two weeks, I’m not so sure that I want to get one from an organization that misspells their "their"s. Yikes.
P.S.: A personal note to Clarence: you’ll make your fake-University seem more real if you don’t say the "administration" is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, including holidays. You have to project some kind of bureaucratic aura of in-accessibility. That’s the way that real Universities do it.

Lets face it most degrees can be shortened anyway the first year is spent studiously, until the pupil realises that nobody else is really pulling their finger out. This is then followed by two years spent in a drunken stupour trying to convince every body that you are unique and finalised with a stressed final few months studying till your brains explode into some form of creativity that scrapes you a passing mark. Perhaps if these online course’s were provided with a six pack it would have more of a relation to real life.
