Have we reached peak BS?

Asked by ETpro (34605points) June 5th, 2013

“Your call is important to us.” That familiar line, programmed into call answering robots by people so uninterested in your call they have bought a robot to answer for them, is such obvious BS there’s been a book written with that lie as its title. When do we get so sick of swallowing BS we regurgitate when fed it? This speech addresses this BS proliferation in a fascinating manner. It’s a commencement address like none I’ve heard before, delivered by stand-up comic and former Obama speechwriter, Jon Lovett. Yeah, it’s 17 minutes long, but listen and I think you’ll agree that hearing it is time well spent. And Jon’s speech does a masterful job of providing the details for the question, “Have we reached Peak BS?”
