You're kidding.....you're NOT kidding.

That's the most asinine thing I've heard in a long time.

That's enough to get me to start shopping for a comic artist to ink VS2 and 'Fields'.....

WTF?!

What the Hell happened? I'm starting to feel like Steve McQueen at the end of "Sand Pebbles": WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED!?

I'm not kidding - I'm getting seriously p*%%ed off about this.

Did I miss a meeting? 'Cause from where I'm sitting, it sure as HELL feels like I just woke up one morning about 8 years ago, to find out that the entire world collectively dropped about a THOUSAND IQ points overnight! What did they do, spike the water?

What? Did the press' enamoration with Bubba Clinton's cigar choices trip a preprogrammed "DUUUUUHHHHHH" switch? I didn't think that the Clipper Chip was implantable.

I seem to recall that, while rather annoying, having c.30% of the population wandering around with the mouth-breathing IQ of ice in a liquid-nitrogen bath was an 'ignorable' problem -- suddenly, I wake up, and now 99-fracking-percent of the population has the combined brainpower of a single strand of dry pasta!

WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED!?
