Out of the Blue

Manstovia has been quiet for a couple of weeks as the dog days of summer have left us a little too overheated for the effort, but MrsBlue was inspired to pick up a couple of steaks, so we're going to have ourselves a nice little feast this evening, which I am greatly looking forward to.

Festive Links:	Thanks Ant and Acleacius.
Play:	Canopy. Roads of Rome 3.
Science:	MIT Develops Autonomous Robotic Earthworm.
Media:	Olympic Commentators are Dicks. The Only Cat Video I Will Ever Sift. Pooch Figures It Out.

Mr. Tact

What is the psychology of stupid comedy? Are people just happy to see someone who makes them feel smart? Something like Beavis & Butthead, I don't get it. I'm pretty sure I could watch every minute ever produced and not once laugh out loud. I'd be shocked if I even chuckled more than once or twice. Do people watch this stuff when they are drunk? That might help... (actually, I'm pretty sure I couldn't watch it all without committing suicide)

Am I an intellectual elitist? I don't think so, but then elitists rarely admit to being one, right?

I'm not trying to start a discussion on B & B specifically, just figured it was a well known example. It just seems to me that the amount of "stupid" comedy has increased over the years, which I find minorly annoying.

Perhaps it is just me truly becoming the curmudgeon I've claimed to be for years...




Truth is brutal. Prepare for pain.
