Except when I see universities here which are poorly ranked giving honorary degrees to famous comedians it just seems ridiculous and doesn't make me think any better of the establishment. If anything it seems needy.

My thought is that in those cases, it's just an easy, cheap way to get a popular speaker to come to campus.
