  1. If it makes you a snob not to settle for lowest common denominator food and entertainment, then call me a snob too, because most of the crap on TV literally makes you dumber by watching it, and most of the food you eat is bad for your health. But hey, if that's what you embrace, who's the real fool?

  2. Bah, humility is greatly overrated. ;-)

  3. Now who's being a snob? I agree with Vincent. This video seems tio be condemning wealthy people who live elite lives, without defining why that's a problem. Expensive beer and never walking onto a factory floor - big crime. I have no interest in finding out how other classes live either. How does it benefit me unless I have to interact with them? At most, you can complain that the wealthy are insular - but hell, so are most Americans in global matters!

  4. Good point.

  5. I didn't miss the point. Should the country be raised on the intellect and ethics and standards of people who watch Jersey Shore, or people with a proven ability to create, retain and manage money, and who are more refined than the average? I don't want some obese, low IQ, minimum wage muppet shaping my future.
