Some of the SKS speaker's pros and cons

Cons: Used vulgarity, used too much popular culture (Devil Wears Prada, Matrix, Simpsons), was pretentious, didn't involve enough student discussion, espoused some pseudo-scientific storylines ( such as people want to escape themselves when they watch television: how can this be deductive or at least scientifically inductive??) advocated some dubious morality (telling a woman who had a hard life that she should have wished for wisdom);

Pros: Got people thinking about higher purpose, didn't let up enough with his talk to let anyone else say anything stupid, was interesting in that he formed MTV, knows much about popular culture, has passion and clearly some intelligence
