It's amazing and appalling how education and intellect have been watered down and poisoned so much that so many people don't recognize and/or understand blatant satire.

President Lincoln was a robot. Who's going to be dense enough to argue to the contrary?

[TwistedMojo]

@BMFRaw You'd be surprised (re: Lincoln, robot). There's a "lost" episode of Real True History that posits Lincoln was a woman. The joke was that it was a non-starter... as soon as the question was raised, the historian said it was ridiculous and the episode ended. Yet I've had resumes sent to me, telling me I need to hire them on my staff so this show can be more historically accurate.

@TwistedMojo

what do you mean by lost? I recall seeing it on Comcast on demand thingamijig many years ago. I tried finding it online but couldn't. what happened?

[TwistedMojo]

@BungiePhantom I didn't remember RTH being part of the Comcast deal. Anyway it's not "lost" in the sense that it's missing from the world. I have it. I just took it out of rotation. Similarly, there was a Lonely Astronaut called "A Typical Day" with silence for 40 seconds, LA saying "Please kill me," then a cut to the cheerful theme song. Both seemed to annoy people. Maybe I'll put one or both back when I finish remastering everything in HD.

@BungiePhantom I was able to find it online, though. Google "real true history lincoln" and the first two links are the vid.

[TwistedMojo]

Holy crap! I totally forgot about "I dramatize metaphysically infused true crime for the enlightenment of human kind" guy. That guy should get a meme.

@TwistedMojo

thanks for the info bro

[BMFRaw]

Aha! Lincoln as a woman! Thanks for the correction.

I think people who have such a compulsion to be right about everything and appear smarter than everyone else have self-esteem so challenged that their determination to divert anyone's attention away from it greatly inhibits the capacity for intellectual humor.

For those of you to whom that applies, in other words, DON'T BE SO FULL OF YOURSELVES! It's called satire. Look it up.

@TwistedMojo Thank you kindly!  It's moving forward, favorably.
