Let this serve as a warning to the rest of you: THIS is why economists shouldn't try to be funny. Ignoring the obvious silliness, even his actual point is hard to take seriously. "Commit to building lots of military equipment, and we'll get out of recession." First, that's like saying that...

It's made by the same guy who makes Two and a Half Men, and it plays out like a version of Friends where every character is Alan Harper. If you have absolutely no sense of dignity or pride in your nerdiness, then I guess you could conceivably find it sort of funny; but I feel that nerds have...
