\nI\u2019m not quite sure if television is making people stupid or if television is just catering to an increasingly stupid population.
\nSomeday, I wouldn\u2019t be surprised to see a game show called \u2018Stupid Jeopardy\u2019 to cater to the gratuitous graduates of our increasingly ineffectual public educational system.
\n“OK Jim, chose a category”
\n“I’ll take \u2018Trivia About Myself\u2019 for $200, Alex.”
\n\u201cAnd the answer is… \u2018My favorite color\u2019.”
\n“Uhhhh\u2026 What is \u2018blue,\u2019 Alex?”
\nBzzzzzzzzzzzzz
\n\u201cNo, I\u2019m sorry, Jim, but the answer is \u2018What is red?\u2019\u201d
\nCringing, Jim laments, \u201cDamn!\u2026 I should have known that one!\u201d
\n\u201cYes, you certainly should have, Jim, but we\u2019re grading on a curve and, just like our public schools, we want to make sure that no one goes home a loser, so you get another chance to salvage whatever you have left of your self-esteem.\u201d
\n“Great, Alex\u2026 then I\u2019ll take \u2018Math for Morons\u2019 for $500”
\nDING DING DING
\n“That’s our Daily Double\u2026. And the answer is\u2026 \u2018The number of beers in a six-pack\u2019.”
\n“Hmmmm\u2026 Would those be bottles or cans, Alex?”
\nBzzzzzzzzzzzzz
\n\u201cJim, in either case the correct answer was, \u2018What is six?\u2019\u201d
\n\u201cYou got me, Alex\u2026 That was a trick question.\u201d
\n\u201cFor some, perhaps, Jim\u2026 OK. We\u2019re going to give you one more chance to win, Jim, because we can\u2019t end this game until at least one of our contestants gets a question right and we\u2019re almost out of time, so go ahead and pick another category.\u201d
\n\u201cUmmmm\u2026 Let\u2019s see\u2026 I\u2019ll try \u2018Science for Simpletons\u2019 for $300, Alex.\u201d
\n\u201cJim, your question is\u2026 \u2018The basic ingredient in a snowball\u2019.\u201d
\n\u201cYeah!!!… I got it! I know that one, Alex! I know that one!… Is the answer \u2018snow\u2019?\u201d
\nBzzzzzzzzzzzzz
\n\u201cI\u2019m sorry, Jim, but the correct answer was \u2018What is<\/span><\/em> snow?\u2019.\u201d
\n\u201cAwwwwwwwww.\u201d
\n\u201cDon\u2019t feel bad Jim, because, unfortunately, you\u2019re not alone. We\u2019re going to send you home with a participation trophy for just showing up, lower the standards for everyone else, so they can all sink to the level of your incompetence, and pass you on to the next stage anyway, so that our statistics will inaccurately reflect the lack of proficiency of our nation\u2019s public school administrators.\u201d
\n\u201cHuh? I don\u2019t get it.\u201d
\n\u201cI didn\u2019t expect you would, Jim.\u201d
\nSad.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
