Is it just me, or is casting veteran porn star Mike Horner as Elliot Spitzer pure genius on Hustler's part?

Yeh, I think I posted this before...but I don't care. I room full of Christopher Walken impersonators is funny enough to post twice.

I hate having my mind blown too much while I'm drinking my morning coffee, but a short story over on BoingBoing introduced me to the concept of "Cognitive Surplus" - which (I think) is the amount of free time everyone has due to automation. Instead of toiling out in the fields to grow our own food, or slaving over a hot oven every night, mechanized automation in the 50s increasingly gave people more time to think about stuff.

Unfortunately, there was no internet, and s, to fill the gap, we created mindless neverending TV sitcoms. And it's only now that we're starting to free ourselves from the shackles (a good reason why TV watching continues to decline). But as a whole, the amount of cognitive surplus TV sucks up is still insane.

This make realize that when I say 'I just never have the time', I just need to stop watching Hell's Kitchen.
