[/quote] And that is exactly my point. It is a generational issue. It has now been abused to the point it had become accepted by some. Fortunately not by all. I'm not against the use of stooges at all. It's just when you combine all of it with camera editing simply out of lack of creativity as an easy out... it's a sign of laziness. I could do an amazing TV show as a mentalist. Stopping people on the street, reading minds under impossible test conditions. I name dates, places dates of birth. Fools everyone watching. Sealed predictions, blindfolded divinations... you name it. The method? They're all just friends of mine and I tell what to say and act surprised. Am I a genius? You don't have to have ANY talent to just cut a video and have a car appear.... none. Now if you add stooges saying "Wow, that's the most amazing thing I've ever seen... I was standing right here live and that car just appeared right in front of me!", it doesn't make it any better or take any more skill or thinking. It's just a lazy cop out. We will ultimately be judged by our choices we make. Cris Angel is viewed as a joke by many... yet some think he's the most amazing thing ever. Make your decisions on this and let the future generations judge if it showed any wisdom or talent. [/quote]
