But, yes, people are really like that.

And this is why Youtube (or Youtroll for that matter) is making humanity a great unvaluable service. No matter how low you sink there's always someone dumber than you.

If stupidity was a crime, we'd all have life sentences (I forget who said that).

lol, though i wouldnt think of Twits being educated either, they are the perfect parody/example of a kind of aristocracy who have done nothing to get the qualifications for the jobs they purport to have - when i say education i dont mean some kind of upper class privileged stuff at all, i mean just generally and not from any specific place or institution but something that should give people a healthy sense of doubt towards things like Techrax or other video hoaxes. That someone would just blindly do this and not even think for a moment as how exactly this is supposed to work is shocking to me

Pfft...how dumb is that? Now excuse me so I can scrape my white-out off of my monitor. I recently corrected a paper, you see.

Well, I'm not sure if anyone actually did this or if the trolls are the ones replying saying they did, but intelligence is unfortunately no longer fashionable. Idiocracy is a wonderful satire film which I think may be fulfilled at some point in the future.

I imagined we were there already. How there can be so many willing to get on you tube to try and out-do the next guys stupid and dangerous stunt just amazes me. The Jack Ass movie ,a case in point, real people doing stupid things but how about those who went to see it! Who would have thought "stupidity" being a badge of honor in America.

Not just americans
You know what they say, don't you? About how us MechWarriors are the modern knights, how warfare has become civilized now that we have to abide by conventions and rules of war. Don't believe it.

Education is no proof against stupidity.

But you can put some thought behind your stupidity.
