How does watching this video affect you? Does it make you think of The Emperor's New Clothes? Or maybe the polar opposite of The Boy Who Cried Wolf? The perfectly reversed mirror image of Chicken Little?
All I can manage at this point is a sort of weak, humorless chuckle. And a fantasy of grabbing Ben Stein and a couple of these other morons by their collars, lifting them three inches, and quietly asking "Do you mind if I call you pretentious, condescending idiots?"
