Edit those together and post the video on YouTube. Hmmm... That's interesting... ... but I suppose it depends on your definition of 'handful'. If taken as being 'a hand full of fingers', then... ... you're suggesting that up to 5% of the population could be this stupid! (Maybe even more... in some parts of the country!) That's 1 in 20... ... or maybe, a couple of people on any bus! Hmmm... If one of them's the driver, that could explain why the buses never seem to run on time... (JOKE!)

Pyrotequila Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 This thread made me think of this video I had seen. https://youtu.be/zbEqC90TKKU Nearly all of these were banned because of parental neglect or through sheer stupidity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've just stumbled across this video. Did you believe it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the problem (as raised earlier by Rev Sibon)... there's really no way of most people knowing (without carrying out a thorough investigation - and who does that?) what is real and what is fake on the interwebs! I would hope that it's faked, as suggested. That's why the thread title asks the question... ... to see what other people think! There's lots of reasons why the video may be 'staged' (mainly views/ad revenue etc). But if those in the video are happy to 'go along' with being shown to be a bit deficient in the grey matter department (fake or not) for their few minutes of YouTube fame, then that raises another question about the stupidity of some people...

You have to wonder, if the real thick people, aren’t the ones who take these videos on face value, and assume the people shown are a good representation of people in general. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm... I suppose they'll be making the study of bell curves compulsory then? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a far bigger problem is that people who think everything on the 'interweb' is fake, also assume that everything on main stream media is genuine.

I'd say because most folks get their news and opinion from the MSM. Which is why a lot of people ARE, and remain stupid, these days. But not all!

Because we all treat interweb information with a degree of caution (or we should) and check out its validity, but not so with the MSM which is also prone to a degree of misinformation, bias, lying by omission etc. Edited September 11, 2022 by Anna B 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
