Stuff like this will make you despair for our future

If I were the optimistic sort I'd say that at least they're going to Wikipedia and educating themselves, but these idiots clearly aren't taking in what they're reading. What they're doing is skimming enough to see if it fits their needs and then copy and pasting it into whatever homework assignment they've been given.

SEB Mailbag: Norman Snyder presents a most eloquent defense of the Philip Stein Teslar watch.

dog-face-disapproval

Way back in August of 2003 I wrote an article about a craptastic product known as the Philip Stein Teslar watch. Since then I’ll occasionally get an email from someone who either sells the watches or has owned one and is incensed that I would call them bullshit.

Most of the time when I tell someone they’re stupid I don’t mean it literally, but rather that they’re acting in a stupid manner. That’s not the case with this would-be robber. He’s definitely literally stupid:

Too many people are idiots.

Just, you know, saying…
