Just "Being There" Is Enough (Figure It Out)

"Nowadays people wear their stupidity like a badge of honour. Knowing how to play chess will get your head kicked off. Reading a book with no pictures in it will cause there to be no friend requests on your Facebook page. Little Britain is funny because people vomit a lot. Monty Python is not because they delight in all manifestations of the terpsichorean muse.

When you go on a chat show, it is important you tell the audience straight away that you were brought up in a cardboard box and that your dad would thrash you to sleep every night. If you want to get on and to be popular you have to demonstrate that you know nothing. It’s why Stephen Fry makes so many bottom jokes."

-- Jeremy Clarkson, whining that everybody else is stupid - which means, if you include Panda Bear and Joseph Nigro, there are now four of us on the planet with the lights on - which is probably the most accurate and up-to-date reflection of The Times Online.
