Have I ever mentioned how much I hate the word "sheeple"? Which is in no small part due to the fact that anyone who makes decisions based on the opposite of what "the man" says is just as much of a sheep as anyone else? You're still basing your opinions and actions on someone else's thoughts and not your own. Oh well. Hypocracy is a conspiracy too, I guess.

It is a useful word in internet discussions, though: When somebody says, without joking, "sheeple," it gives you a good indication that there is no point in further discussion with them. You might continue for the lurkers, but nothing is going to change their mind. "Pseudoskeptic" is another word along similar lines.

That's a good point. It's kinda like an internet forum fire-alarm; as soon as it gets pulled you know it's hazardous to your health if you stick around.

I think we need a new law regarding the phrase "sheeple" in conspiracy threads, along the lines of Godwin's Law.

They actually used "sheeple" in a very disturbing car ad a while ago. If I could remember what car it was for I'd google it. The fact that I don't means they failed, THEY FAILED! Ahahaha!
... Time for my meds.

I know the commercial you're referring to. I noticed the commercial because of the animation and the word, "sheeple," but it took a couple of times before I even realized it was a car commercial. I don't remember the brand either. It probably would be easy to find it by googling, but I don't want to.

yes. It's an insulting, derogatory term that's pulled out when you just want to slap other people in the face.

I want to say it was for the Scion. That's the car that fits the theme (according to the manufacturer anyway) of "be different". So we should all be different by buying the same car, then paying even more to customize said car. Riiiiiiight. ![]()

Ah, good 'ol Steve Martin. The Jerk was on tv the other day. I love that movie. Only got to watch up until he was trying to hitch a ride from home (first 20 min or so) and had to leave though.
The amazing part about Martin is his ad-lib ability [edit: would that be, 'adlibility'?]. There's two halariously drawn-out scenes; the one that goes something like "The first day seemed like 10 days. The second day was 8 1/2 days. The third day, well that was just a day because you had to go visit your mother. But you came back on the fourth day, so that was like 4 days." etc. etc., and the "I don't need you! All I need is this lamp! This lamp and this ash tray! This lamp and this ash tray and this chair! I need this Thermos. This lamp this ashtray the chair and this Thermos, that's all i need! And these glasses." etc. etc. Those were both done "on the fly", and flawlessly executed. Great stuff! ![]()
