Re-re-re-rediscovering the stupidity of most people
Every now and then I witness a reminder of just how far outside the mainstream I am.
It usually comes in the form of commercials before a movie in a theater. I see shallow gender stereotypes, fetishization of stupidity (as myopian8 aptly put it, "Those people are voters!"), sports obsessions, and oversimplification of real issues. And it seems dumb to me just how cheap and phony it all is, that most formulaic TV advertising is actually effective on some people.
Being a geek really is the only way.
This has been your latest sheeple rant.
