Dumb, de Dumb Dumb DUUUUMMMMB

God, looking back on the oh-so-many years of technology promises and punditry . . . in my case, starting right about ‘round 1957, the year I was born,  it all just seems to get old. Sure, there’s stuff — the Internet is one — that actually lives up to the hype — but there’s far more stuff that ends up just being snake oil.

I put it thus: yes, there ARE 17,808 titles at the video store, but how many of them do you actually want to watch? Okay, sorry, now if they were all FREE how many would you actually want to watch?

Thought so. Subtract eight from 17,808 and you have the nutshell of human stupidity.

Thus we have this: yet another reminder that we just should all go back to bed and watch the sun rise tomorrow (or not, when we listen to these people).

  1. When I think, "Gosh, considering how difficult it is to make a film, why would anyone go to all that effort just to make a bad one?" But then as someone who has made a CD, I know it's difficult to make anything and I wish it would've been a little better.
