      You can’t damage the credibility of people who don’t claim to have any. And, in attempting to do so, you can only increase their credibility.

      Matt and Trey don’t claim to be any more than a few jackass comedians with a TV show. Scientology’s MO really doesn’t work against guys like that.

        Are all youtube videos so epileptic nowadays? Does this appeal to people? Am I out of touch?

          What do you mean by epileptic? It’s a video essay, the majority of the substance is the words spoken by the guy making the video. And yes, I occasionally watch and enjoy this kind of video, and I even saw this one about s month ago and liked it. It tied up some loose ends in my head and gave me context I wouldn’t otherwise get.

          The term video essay is really a perfect description for this.

              Wow, I had to check it out myself and you are not wrong! WTF was the editor of that video thinking? It starts fine and then becomes like a nightmare of overlapping audio streams.
