How do we be better people when our opponents are literally caricatures of cartoon villains, who, every week, add another hilarious stereotype to their gestalt.
Remember: you’re talking to, and about, the species that is currently exporting a record number of voyeuristic reality shows that sell “engineered awkwardness” because sex doesn’t sell by itself anymore.
