Laughing. Yes, we often think of the 'educated' middle-cum-upper-middle-class wankstain strata as tic-tac-toe illiterate losers. I am actually finding the excuses being made for the man, who can surely talk for himself, now, to be hilarious.

Aye, noted. Ho-hum. Upper class Taibbi, whose writing I respect enough to have paid to read - this far - pissed on large sections of the populace as illiterate. What more do you want me to say?
And he didn't even say illiterate - that's your word. Stupid can be educated, I know some real idiots with law degrees or PhDs. They have no common sense and would die in a day if they weren't in the ivory towers.
"a fair portion of the mass audience is capable of losing at tic-tac-toe",
I'd not be shocked, if he were referring as much to those Under the Table (incl. from coke), after a full day on (the quite literate) Wall St., as to anyone else.
Well, there's another thing. In US culture, it has often been fashionable or chic to appear dumb. People who practice this -- a good example would be G. W. Bush -- can be quite popular and influential, but they run the risk of becoming what they pretend to be even if they are not already pretty stupid. This fashion or style leads to a culture of dumbness, hence, a set of people who lose at tic-tac-toe, and then you need lightweight authors to serve the few of them who read books or watch talking-head shows. I am not an earnest student of the Gladwell oeuvre, but everything I've seen has been, yes, pretty lightweight. Normally, I"d say 'That's entertainment,' but if you want to make an issue of it here's my contribution.
Most of the populace IS illiterate. How is it possible you don't know this? Ever watch man on the street interviews? Worked for a big company? Got out in the world?
Yes 'illiterate' means not literate. Why are you asking me? You don't know? Matt didn't say "People who don't read books" He said people who can't win at tic tac toe.

Still laughing.
You leapt to a wrong-headed conclusion that wasn't there, but won't admit it. Noted.

Look, goan jist fuck off, cunt. No interestit in this pish.
LOL, you cornered yourself and now you're having a meltdown. Hilarious.
Please specify *exactly* where he "pissed on large sections of the populace as illiterate".
If you're referring to the stuff about
"a fair portion of the mass audience is capable of losing at tic-tac-toe",
I'd not be shocked, if he were referring as much to those Under the Table (incl. from coke), after a full day on (the quite literate) Wall St., as to anyone else.

What does 'illiterate' mean? Seriously. Don't read books? Don't read the net? Don't adhere to 20th century ideas of what being 'literate' meant?
Yes 'illiterate' means not literate. Why are you asking me? You don't know? Matt didn't say "People who don't read books" He said people who can't win at tic tac toe.
I was taking the fucking pish.
Too late. Everyone sees what you were doing. Nice try though. Wait, actually, no. Shitty try.
