Are people really THAT stupid?
I mean, really?

I was just visiting Yahoo's page and there is an ad on top that says "Circle the hidden word".

The word is MONKEY and it's in BOLD FACE TYPE right in the center surround by the the letter "F" (which incidently is the only letter in the rest of the "puzzle").

Yeah, like I am gonna click that?

2. Yes, unfortunately,
they are. And right now, we have the special ed president (although I shouldn't insult the real special ed people that way), so only the most stupid people on the planet are being catered to right now. I can't stand it. It's back to smart people getting bullied and stupid people getting their asses kissed all the time. I can't see the logic in that. Does not compute. You know?

And, yes, there are people IN COLLEGE with me right now, who would get that one puzzle wrong. No kidding.

One of my teachers was telling me about an employer he had spoken to recently. The employer said a student he hired from RCC was incredibly bright. And the thing he said that made my teacher's jaw hit the floor was this: "He can read and everything." My teacher said I must be like Einstein to someone like that. I couldn't believe it, then I realized I was in a red state and it made perfect sense.

5. I often wondered how people get like a hundred spams daily
I found out when I clicked on something advertising a free computer. Yes I was dumb and gave them my e-mail address. Next day I have 10 spam messages in my inbox. I haven't clicked on any of the spam e-mails and they've slowly started dissipating. I now get a couple a day.
