Stupid people comfort me

(Just in case you can’t watch this because you are stealthily checking this site while getting paid to most definitely not check this site and therefore you can’t risk doing anything with sound that implies you are watching youtube videos, here is a synopsis: The question is, ‘What rotates around the earth?’ and the options are a) the moon, b) the sun, c) mars, and d) venus. The idiot blows his $1,500 by asking the audience, 56% of whom believe the answer to be THE SUN, and then gives his final answer as THE SUN. His wife is obviously reconsidering their holy union at the end of the video.)

This video comforts me because I like the idea that there are studios full of audiences and contestants out there (in France, even) that are much, much, much, much dumber than me. In fact, while most people seem to be focusing on the fact that this video “proves the french are stupid”, I like to take a much simpler approach and just be pleased that there are so many people dumber than me anywhere. The language stupid people choose to use is irrelevant. You might argue that I should dream for a world full of intelligent, forward thinking individuals. But I don’t want that, because then I wouldn’t have a job. And who would wash my car? A machine? Never.

Perhaps this might strike you as pompous, but I’d like to point out that millions of people watch reality tv every day and most sit at home and justify it because they somehow think they are smarter than the dumb shitheads they are watching. But you know what? You aren’t smarter. Those people are getting paid. You, on the other hand, are paying money to watch people eat centipedes.
