Are We Stupid or What?

When I say, "Are WE stupid..." I really mean other folks, not me. Is it just me, or is stupidity really at an all-time high?
For instance, take these brainiacs who will stand in line for 48 hours to buy a video game. Admittedly, most do it so they can sell the video game at a profit. Maybe the folks at Sony are the stupid ones. Why don't they just take all their x-boxes, or whatever they're called and sell them on E-bay themselves for thousands of dollars.
And tell me this...how stupid do you have to be to pay three thousand dollars for a six hundred dollar game in order to be the first on your block to own that x-box.
I think Best Buy and Circuit City should take the folks who line up to buy the game, and make them do some sort of community service during those 48 hours they're just hanging around, getting their pictures taken by the stupid people at the newspaper who think there's something interesting about all this.
And, then what about those stupid people who write columns about the stupid people who do all those other stupid things mentioned above. Now, that's really stupid.
I tell you what else is stupid. I heard this morning that when this new movie, Dreamgirls comes out, they're going to sell tickets for twenty-five dollars for the first ten days. So, if you want to impress all your friends by telling them you were one of the first to see the movie, you have to shell out twenty-five bucks.
Listen, take some advice from an old man who has been around the block a few times. If you want to impress people with stuff you have or stuff you've done, impress them the old fashioned way...lie. It's easy and it doesn't cost a dime. I have the new x-box. I love it, and you know what, I've already seen Dreamgirls. I had to pay a thousand dollars for a really good seat, but it was worth it.
Impressed? I thought you would be. But, surprise. I made the whole thing up. I did this only for demonstration purposes...just to show you how you can save big bucks, as well as precious time waiting in some stupid line, if you simply lie.
There's one more really stupid thing I wanted to talk about, but I'm a little reluctant to do so. I write this little piece for entertainment purposes only (please, no wagering) and there's nothing entertaining about O.J. Simpson, or in Fox TVs decision to air a two-night interview in which Simpson will explain how he would have killed his wife, but, of course, he didn't. Who could conceive of something so stupid.
Actually this goes way beyond stupid. It's about the most immoral thing I've ever heard. Obviously Simpson has no morals or conscience, for that matter. But I'd think there'd be someone at Fox who makes the big decisions who'd not be so stupid to air this. I guess I'm wrong.
It's painfully obvious that Simpson has no regard for his children's feelings, but isn't there someone somewhere who might have the decency to step in and say we're not going to subject his children to this?
Maybe I shouldn't say this, but if you watch that interview on Fox, you'd have to be pretty stupid.
