For the good of the nation ...

I was watching the Youtube democratic debate for about 20 minutes this evening. Seriously, it was terrible. The people asking the questions are fucking morans. For example, one query is "What are the five things the candidates would do to repair the damage done to the country by the Bush administration?" That's a legitimate question that could shed some light on what the candidates think. TOO BAD IT WAS ASKED BY A STUFFED CAT. ROTFLOL.

It was the stupidest thing I have ever seen, and this is coming from someone who has defended the merit of Snakes on a Plane and XXX: State of the Union. I weep for our children's future. Anyone seen the movie Idiocracy? No? Well, it's going to become real. At one point in that movie, all the crops are dying because the idiots of the future are watering them with powerade. When the main guy suggests using water, he is rebuked because that doesn't "have what plants crave" or something along those lines. I was pretty drunk when I saw it. My point is people are getting dumber.

Anyway, here's another example, from someone called The Phenomenauts. They call themselves a space and science band (?) then recite some impressive statistics and even have their synchronized sign off. Surely they should be taken seriously.


Jesus Christ.

The only really memorable part of the debate (that I saw) was when Kucinich said he supports reparations for slavery. Well, that and Obama talking about trying to catch a cab in NYC.

And now appropos of nothing, here's Kucinich with his hot young redheaded wife. He's got my vote.


edit: Apparently the Goatse image was flashed during one of the questions last night, at which point Hillary and Obama noticably flinched. If you don't know what goatse is, well, you probably don't want to know. The fact that it was on a Presidential debate probably means the end times are here. Either that or the YouTube debates were a phenomenally stupid idea.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's stupid.

Tom,
This is David Bowie from 1986's Labyrinth. I am late for a party in space.
