Bill O’Reilly Hates You
Bill O’Reilly is awesome. Yes, the story is from earlier last year, but I still really enjoy reading his crazy rant against video games and iPods.
The have-nots are growing. Why are they growing? Because the skill set that is necessary to earn a decent living is being deemphasized in a fantasy world of football games and shooting zombies and all that…. Now you have the “knows” and the “know-nots”, because if you spend all your youth being prisoners of machines….. you’re not going to know anything…. You’re gonna fail.
It helps if you imagine an old man shaking his cane while you read his words. I hesitate to respond to his points at length as I have a gut feeling that he’s just trolling.
I don’t own an iPod. I would never wear an iPod… If this is your primary focus in life - the machines… it’s going to have a staggeringly negative effect, all of this, for America…
All this ranting about “the machines” and complaining that the youth are “prisoners” isn’t just paranoid rambling. It’s not that he’s a luddite; Bill O’Reilly can and will sensationalize anything. Still, with rants like this, he’s never going to attract any of the coveted stoned slacker demo. I just hope I can escape the machines in time to make a living for myself.

I just read O’Reilly’s comments aloud to David in an old man voice while shaking an imaginary cane. It worked unbelievably well, and was really fun to do.

See? He sounds like he’s about to tell you to get off his lawn, too.

Heh. Right you are! That does make it 10 times better! In fact, I think from now on I’ll imagine everything Bill O’Reilley says coinciding with him as an old man shaking his cane. It’ll make me laugh when I need it most.

Did you see when he tried to be funny on Colbert last night? He was so bad, I think I cringed out loud.

Yeah, same here. I didn’t know it was possible to cringe out loud, but I’m pretty sure that’s what happened to me.
P.S. Please buy some Phentermine.

Ah, crap, I forgot to delete that spam comment. Akismet is great; that’s the first of thousands that’s slipped through.
