I saw this one -- I thought the guy was great! I admit it crossed my mind, "What is he auditioning for?" because he was so theatrical and carefully costumed. Still, very enjoyable to watch.

I guess it pays to be a little older than Jonathan -- no problem so far.

I was going to feel superior to him because his costume looked liked it came from Liberace's estate sale, then I realized I would wear that to get my chance.
Suitguy is not bitter.

feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive

The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.
