What upsets me as well as outrages me is the fact that people obviously fall for the bullshit that is fed to them.

Reading through the answers in this QoW, it seems a popular theme is that people hate adverts with bullshit dressed up as information, or the sun newspaper, or buzzwords like 'carbon footprint' and 'probiotic'. Now I agree, and depise all those things in equal measures. But I find it tragic and infuriating that obviously the vast majority of the general public falls for that shit, and I can't understand why.

The average B3tan is obviously cynical or savvy enough to see through the crap and fear that is pumped into us through our newspapers/TVs etc and so is nearly everyone I know, so how come this sort of rubbish continues to be produced? the only logical answer is that the vast majority of the country laps it up and asks for more, and that, to me is maddening.

I think that the answer
is that most people are spectacularly stupid. Remember, in order to post on B3ta, you need to:

a) turn the computer on without electrocuting yourself
b) remember both a username and a password

which combined are beyond the intelligence of most of the gormless automatons that clutter up the pavement these days.
