    6. And how often is he broadcasting? Just before and after school, or does he do DJ sets during lunch, too?

    7. And when does Usher go to his other classes?

    8. Shouldn't a guidance counselor or some sort of authority figure step in and suggest that he diversify his list of activities? Isn't he putting a little too much time into DJing?

    9. Is Campus DJ even the kind of thing that colleges are looking for on an application?

    10. If he's spending so much time DJing, when does he have time to find out all that dirt on his fellow classmates?

    12. I mean, he uses the words "magically delicious" to describe Taylor Vaughan, who may or may not be of the age of consent. And then talks about the tightness of her dresses. How is that okay?

    21. Is this a staff position? Is Usher a faculty member?

    22. He's definitely getting sued for sexual harassment if he's a faculty member, right? Even for a fictional high school in California, talking to an entire student body about the tightness of Taylor Vaughan's dresses has to be unacceptable, doesn't it?

    30. I mean, who hires some random DJ when you know freaking USHER?

    31. Also, how can someone as cool as Usher come up with nicknames as bad as "the falafel fairy"? That's the best you can do, Usher?

    32. Is this why he's working at a high school? Because he's bad with nicknames?

    33. Wait, what's Usher's DJ nickname? This movie came out in 1999. There's no way he was a DJ without a nickname, right?

    34. And aren't we ignoring the big question here? Maybe THE big question?

    51. And... hey, wait a second: Where the hell did Usher disappear to?

    52. WASN'T HE JUST ON STAGE??

    53. Is it possible that Usher isn't even from this world?

    54. Does Usher have some sort of invisibility cloak? Or a superpower?

    55. Is any of this real? Does this movie even take place in this dimension? Or is Usher some sort of semi-divine Greek chorus within "She's All That," a narrator with the ability to move to and fro beyond the normal boundaries of time and space? Is he a man who bends the universe for his own purposes, which in this case happen to involve a part-time job DJing at a Southern California high school? Is Usher a force greater than any of us could ever know?

    56. Or is he just missing from that shot because of a continuity error?

    (Okay, yeah, that probably makes more sense.)
