Reader Mail: Baudrillard Gets You Ass

I like the Baudrillard quote (on Sunday) and your comment, but let’s face it: this kind of pretentious wordy statement of a simple idea is very much a part of intellectual-poser (or “poseur,” if you prefer) douchebaggery. Douchebag hipsters, cultural studies majors, and wanna-be writers wield this type of talk to get p@ssy the same way the standard guido wields his orange abs and baseball cap.
Yes. Sadly, douchebaggery abounds in all walks of life – especially here in New York City.

Interesting theory, Paul. Perhaps I should reveal that I am just as douchey as those I make fun of. Hmm. Let me think of a moniker to reveal that concept.
This point reminds me of the time Archimedes led off the Greek attack to win the Philosopher’s World Cup.
Yeah, I just made a Monty Python link reference. That doesn’t make me nerdy.
It makes me awesome.
