I liked the preface to the comments section below the video:

Please use the comments to demonstrate your own ignorance, unfamiliarity with empirical data, ability to repeat discredited memes, and lack of respect for scientific knowledge. Also, be sure to create straw men and argue against things I have neither said nor even implied. Any irrelevancies you can mention will also be appreciated. Lastly, kindly forgo all civility in your discourse . . . you are, after all, anonymous.




I had the same reaction. While somewhat pessimistic and possibly offensive toward some visitors, it distills the times found around the web in an eloquent, satirical manner. While I prefer offensive and rotten humor, many would argue this type of remark defies all sorts of social media "how-to"s and guidelines for positive engagement yada yada.
