Hey, you! Yea you, I'm talking to you
You are narrow minded and uninformed. Yea, you! If you got your news today from FOX NEWS, CNN, The New York Times, PBS or any other news program at any time today, I am sure, very sure you didn't get the WHOLE story.
Every piece of information available to you is somehow slanted in some way or the other, nothing you know is real.
If you stopped 10 people on the street and asked them the exact same question, like "are government programs doing enough to stop hunger in the United States?" I'm sure you would get 10 different answers, but and here is the key - I bet all 10 people would give some kind of an answer - it is impossible for people to answer "I don't know enough about [something, anything] to give an intelligent answer."
Not going to happen, because we all have 24/7 news channel and we know everything about everything.
The sad fact is most people watch their favorite news program and just take if all as gospel.
I wish more people were critical thinkers.

Not all advertising sucks balls
Most ads these days are really, really bad. I saw this one and thought it was funny, doesn't really make me want to buy Bridgestone tires (because Bridgestone and Firestone are the same company, remember the whole Firestone/Ford Explorer problems) but I thought this was funny and cool.
Have a look:

Remember the smartest person story
If you go back to the smartest person in the world story I did a little while ago you will see that Noam Chomsky is number 11 on the smartest person in the world list for 2008. I wonder what the eleventh smartest person in the world thinks about things?
Lets take a look: (this one is a little long and his voice is somewhat monotone, but some of the things he says are very interesting)
