01:38 - I could do that... and that's not good

John Kricfalusi has an interesting take here on what separates today's entertainment from yesterday's.
Only people who have amazing ability should be entertainers, not just average people who live next door to you, like we have today.
Nowadays we have cartoons by people who can't draw (or write), "voice actors" by people who don't have distinct voices or acting ability, "songs" where people talk instead of sing and tell you how great they are without having to prove it to you with skill and talent.
Imagine if the people who run entertainment today took over sports?
We'd have basketball teams with short fat bald white men, Ultimate Fighting would pit skinny little emo cartoonists against each other, people who can't swim would be water sports heroes having female fans screaming at their drowning contests.
We'd also have random people writing blogs that accomplish cool feats of journalism. But that aside, I can certainly relate to his plea for, er, insanity.
