I think this excerpt from a conversation I had with someone yesterday perfectly illustrates both the stupidity and the patronizing nature of his argument:

Guy: "You don't understand. It's all over the world. It's world wide."
Me: "I understand the concept of the 'World Wide Web.'"

listening to: The Futureheads, Telenovela, the Gore Gore Girls.
in my sink: I don't even go in my kitchen anymore.
