This time from comedian/actress Julia Sweeney (via PZ Myers):
Ben Stein once did a Groundling show, an improv show, that I was a part of. I found him to be spectacularly ill-informed and narcissistic and weirdly devoted to his schtick and worst of all, hacky. He didn’t listen to his fellow performers and played everything outward to his friends in the audience who laughed (fake, forced) at every single thing he did.
He’s not just anti-enlightenment. He’s anti-comedy!
Hey! Where is everyone?
I headed to Nasdaq headquarters in Times Square, ground zero of the biggest high tech stock offering ever, where Facebook would be welcomed into the arms of the investing public. And all I found was a bunch of CNBC cameras.
It’s tough to tell when an internet phenomenon reaches actual meme status. But, in the case of the “creepy finance guy,” I think we can finally call it.
This week saw yet another jaw-dropping tale of Wall Street prattishness, this time in the form of a post-date survey. Yep, a finance dude went on a date with a lady. And then he asked her for constructive feedback.
