"It's as if they actually believe that what other people think of them somehow doesn't matter. I mean, I know we're all supposed to believe that. But obviously none of us actually do, and nor should we, because it does, it does matter. And the people who genuinely believe it doesn't tend to be the very people who ought to care the most about that other people think of them, because what the other people are thinking is that no, actually, I don't think the Chinese are up to something, or you should use mouthwash, or your mania for the collectivisation of soviet agriculture will surely cause the death of millions, or 40 cats is too many cats."

LOVE THAT ONE.
Have you seen his other Soapbox segments? The one on rape and pillage is... well, much funnier than you would imagine from the description of it as "the one on rape and pillage". The Necrophilia and Spelling segments are also brilliant (those are two separate segments, btw, although the combination would no doubt be awesome).
(The combination of the two ideas in a rant, not the combination of the two activities.)
I just laughed so hard I choked.
Can you spell dead weight? Can you spell silent as a tomb? Can you spell corpse bride? Can you spell debonair cadaver? Can you spell deeply sick?
I'm pretty sure we can both spell "deeply sick". :)
Thank goodness for that!
