Stuck on Stupid
Note to Jeff and Ace: Please stop linking to and discussing Oliver Willis. Yeah, the jokes are funny (like unlike his pudding dish, his analysis is shallow and completely devoid of substance) but is it worth it? I mean, it’s Oliver Willis. Ollie isn’t too bright and he’s a hack. It’s not even sporting.
It’s like being in sixth grade and making fun of the kid who still eats paste. Yeah, good for a laugh but no matter how hard you try, you’re not going to convince the paste-eater to not eat the paste. Eventually, you stop making fun of the paste-eater because you realize the paste-eater may have some other problems. I think we’ve reached that point.
Update: And that goes for you too.

Yeah, I head over there about once every couple weeks and marvel at the colossal stupidity. But I don’t link to it. I don’t want to expose others to that mish-mash of inconsistent and inarticulate (heh!) hackery.

I’ve been complaining about people who link to Andrew Sullivan about that for quite a while now… He’s become unhinged and seems to be just spouting to get attention now.
