How (not) smart are you? Seriously?

As you may not know, I play scrabble over facebook with various people, and I’m rather moderate at nearly beat my jammy mother most of the time, so it’s pretty much always fun.

Anyway, I was checking the scores when a most alarming banner came up and told me that ‘someone‘ has called me ‘a foolish dolt‘ because I cannot beat their IQ score of ‘100′. Naturally I threw caution to the wind and signed instantly to the £6 a minute text messaging service that would test my IQ for the minimal price of £50! Of course I did! This very real person was a serious threat to my ego!

DISCLAIMER: That last sentence was a lie.

I halted at the banner part, and laughed my arse off until I wept with mirth. What are these people thinking? Do they really think that the above story is likely to occur?

Actually, I may have jumped the gun. Of course it happens, otherwise they wouldn’t have the funds required to advertise on Facebook. This induces a real fear in me. Are people really that incredibly dense?

If so then there is no choice but a global thermonuclear strike to banish the idiocy at the cost of the non-idiocy. I’m sorry, non-idiots, but for humanities sake you have to die.
