A Good Benchmark for Insanity

Welcome to the first installment of The Excited States, a series of articles in which I look at the antics of our wacky-but-lovable neighbour to the south, the Excited States of America!

Programmer Mark Pilgrim sums up my opinion of FOX News quite nicely:

I think liberals should thank Fox News for indirectly providing a valuable service. It is now possible to rank the batshit-craziness of American conservatives on a single linear scale, based on when they stopped watching Fox News.

Speaking of FOX News, here’s a screen capture of their front page from Tuesday:

Note the article titled Which State Will Be First to Legalize…SEX WITH A ROBOT?, which I presume is aimed at getting people all riled up about gay marriage again.

  • Who said all robots were gay? =)

    I think you could make the same argument for the other side of the aisle referencing, say, Air America Radio.

  • I've already predicted that in a decade or two, the big issue will be illegal aliens, alien marriage, and alien clergy/bishops in the Anglican/Episcopalian Church. Robot sex will do until the mothership arrives.
