DON`T READ THE ROLLING TEXT! It often appears just ahead of the sound and it totally cock-blocks the punch lines.

(I`m a huge Minchin fan and this is his best track yet, I just want you to appreciate as fully as you can.)

If you asked me how to convince someone they are wrong, I`d say that by proving that "I am happy with the way I think" is the best bet. This guy doesn`t look very happy. Look at the hatred he emantes with every word...

He won`t be convincing anyone, and to top it off, he`ll get his wife angry, further increase his hatred, and look like a prick in front of everyone.

It is ironic that he claims love to be the purpose of life yet denies existentialism. Seems to me that he has made an argument for selfishness rather than a rebuttal to irrationality. Besides, astrology and nihilism are two completely different things. When some comedian makes-up a fictitious bimbo and lumps all the ideas that threaten his reality into one pot to trash them, I cannot help but think how desolate his life must be. Seriously people, this guy employs so many logical fallacies that you should be ashamed if you fell for them. Thinking for yourself is not painful; try it sometime.
