You are the vulgarian, you fuck!

In times of a crappy economy, pointless foreign wars, a starkly divided political landscape (the reasons for which this video might illuminate by the way), waxing fundamentalism and anti-intellectualism on the rise, you take your humor where you can get it - even if it's a debate benchclear (lol):



I personally prefer my humor a bit more, you know, "on purpose" than this, but that doesn't make this case study in irony any less succulent. If debate isn't about shouting down an opposing point of view, then what do you call Congress, smarty pants? It isn't smirkingly known as a deliberative body for nothing you know.

Also, do go ahead and watch the whole thing. It isn't a one-note piece of inadvertent performance art. The rambling ad hoc defense the bearded debate coach slings together for flying off the handle is charmingly instructive.

Enjoy - but don't click play if grown up language makes you cry. Finally, please someone make a joke about re-butt-als in the comments. :)
