I mean, it’s art. Art of the sort that you would see from an angel that stubbornly still insisted that it had merely been exiled from Heaven, not Fallen from it.

Tweet of the Day, Jerry Seinfeld Demonstrates Guru-Level #Trollin edition.

There’s trolling, and then there’s expert trolling, and then there’s Grand Master trolling, and then there’s this.

It’s always a pleasure to see a true expert at his or her work. Jerry Seinfeld spent four and a half minutes ripping into the gathered luminaries of the advertising industry to their face and at their own awards ceremony, and they ate it all up and asked for more.

“Check my privilege? I just did, and it’s doing great.” – @KurtSchlichter

An amusing in-your-face to start your morning:

This “Check your privilege” meme is the newest trump card du jour on college campuses and in other domains of progressive tyranny. It morphed into existence from the “You racist!” wolf-cry that is now so discredited that it produces little but snickers even among liberal fellow travelers. After all, if everyone is racist – and to the progressives, everyone is except themselves – then no one is really racist. And it’s kind of hard to take seriously being called “racist” by adherents of a political party that made a KKK kleagle its Senate majority leader.

So how do we deal with this idiocy?

The proper response to the privilege gambit is laughter. The super-serious zealots of progressivism hate being laughed at, but there’s really no other appropriate response outside of a stream of obscenities. The privilege game is designed to circumvent arguments based on reason and facts and evidence, so the way to win it is to defeat it on its own terms.

Call: “Check your privilege!”

Response: “What you call ‘privilege’ is just me being better than you.”
