Brilliant!

I didn't watch it because it won't go full screen.

:-P

I'm going to do exactly what he says next time I fly. I already enjoy flying, so maybe I'll do it to spread the cheer.

I wonder how long it takes for Dane Cook to steal this...

I love this guy. It's too bad hacks like Dane Cook basically stole his comedy routines.

He's coming to Seattle soon, but alas, my girlfriend and I are trying not to blow our money.

Amusing but really misses the point. It's not that people are idiots that makes them complain about technology. It's the unreasonably high expectations created by propaganda (aka PR and advertising) that causes this divide.

Naaa, the PR and advertising only work because people are sheep. Idiots either way.

There's definitely a common thread in this bit and Maher's 'new rules' soliloquy (though Louis is funnier): we're a bunch of spoiled brats, and unless we grow up, we're in big friggin trouble.

Then again, the great depression (perhaps the last period in the US -other than during a war- where people really seemed to become less spoiled) followed the roaring 20's.

Can we do it again in this depression?

Louis killed as usual. For those that liked the clip check out Lucky Louie which ran for one season on HBO.

"...we're a bunch of spoiled brats, and unless we grow up, we're in big friggin trouble.'

So true...however I think getting rid of the dependence we have on credit is the first lesson to be learned from all of this. Buying shit that we can't afford, or don't currently have the money for has become an American trademark. We are a nation of people who like to enjoy things that we can not afford. A little responsibility goes a long way people.
