I was feeling a touch masochistic so I inflicted my brain with some of his articles. Some have a touch of humor, most are sufficiently idiotic, especially in the targeting of his soapbox denunciations, that I almost thought it might be an attempt to deliberately write from the standpoint of a shallow, self-absorbed moron who has finally made some half-assed attempts to grow up at least a decade after he was supposed to for the humor value. I don't think it's an act, but I find his articles much more humorous if I pretend that's the case. I was laughing about his knocking Corning for trying to sell a bathroom mirror with TV/net options and saying they'd never spoken to a real person until I realized he was serious, and really didn't think there was anyone who might want to be able to watch the news or look at their email while brushing their teeth or shaving, odd since people do both in cars even. I guess, though, that he finds brushing his teeth or shaving so incredibly mentally taxing that he can't imagine anyone having brain power to divert to other tasks while doing either.
