At One With Teh Dumb
Like ebonics, anti-intellectualism, and the re-election of
President Junior, the deliberate misspelling and typos in internet chat culture
is a glorification of stupid.
People continually search for innovative new ways to appear more ignorant than they really are.
Being stupid is not cool!
While we're at it, why don't we un-learn all language, give up technology medicine and agriculture, forgot how to make fire, and cut off our opposable thumbs.
Some people are born with less intelligence.
That's OK. Some people are small, or ugly, or disabled, and that's no fault of their own, nothing to be ashamed of, and some people happen to be born retarded.
But being stupid on purpose, that's just, well, stupid.
With one significant exception:
At One With The Dumb, the album by Bobby Joe Ebola and the Children MacNuggets, exemplified by their song "I Wish I Was Special"
Hopefully they will play it at their re-union show, Sunday June 24th, at "The Gilman" on Gilman in Berkeley.
