Hold on. I'm 1m40s in. Before I go any further, is it supposed to be self-parodying? Were the editors of the film conscious of what they were doing, and if so, was it a light joke done with a wry smile, or do they genuinely hate everyone who's watching it?

My guess is that you're not American. Marshall McLuhan said it best.

I'm up to about 49 minutes and it appears they seem to favor the LCD being former President G.W. Bush.
Title: Re: Stupidity: Many Shapes, Sizes, Lengths and Girths Post by: cbeast on January 23, 2012, 03:16:52 AM I've thought a lot about this. In fact, it was a major inspiration for a book I wrote a few years ago. Stupidity, willful ignorance, and evil are synonymous to me. In fact, it took me weeks to "dumb down" my manuscript for the average well educated American reader. I'm glad I did, because I learned that using simple language doesn't make you sound stupid, it makes you sound less like a douchebag. Someday, when I am freed from this situational slavery, I have big plans to write many books. I'm hoping that stumbling onto something as brilliant as Bitcoin will help me get there faster.
