That video came at a very good time for me -- the end of a rough week with two long weeks to go until vacation. I can't remember when I've gut-laughed like that at an internet video. And, like this writer, I"ve watched it multiple times, and it just keeps getting funnier.

I hadn't noticed the woman's pants or the books on the bed until I read this.

What can I say-I have to go with the baby in the walker-"What's going on in here?"

Just watched it again and noticed the books falling off the bed.

It all makes sense now.

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.
