Factor Five


The King of the Morons, trying to keep up...


So a few years ago my buddy and I were discussing the fact that most people are idiots. In fact we figured about 95% of the population are fucking sheep that will eat whatever the media, and popular culture spoon feed them. "Moron Syrup" is what we call it the thick, sticky, ultra sweet goo that these mindless fool suck up lickety split, and ask for thirds. This explains the bizarre success of things like Boy Bands, Ashlee Simpson, J-Lo, Rascal Flats (how did these guys EVER get a record deal?!), PT Cruisers, The OC, Reality Shows (with the exception of The Contender!), lowered jap cars, sideways baseball caps, and Titanic winning the Best Picture Oscar!

The fact of the matter is, very few people think for themselves. The ones that do would be other other 5%. The "Factor Five". I don't want to come off completely elitist, because, honestly, we all do stupid shit. So let me clarify. It is possible for a sharp, smart member of the 5% to, occasionally, slip up and fall into the 95% catagory of morons. But it is virtually impossible for one of the idiots from the 95% to jump the gap to the 5%...just doesn't happen.

Anyway...where do you fall???
