This has to be the most ridiculous thing ever. How dare all these people want to endanger my Metapod!

Wow. Aside from being really damn funny, this also shows how little people actually listen when it comes to political debates. Especially the old guys. They just have a little cassette tape with opinions on them repeating over and over in their heads, and it overrides everything that they hear. Isn't that really sad, actually?

Seconded!
I nominate Representative Ho-Oh.

You know, if you think about it, all a Pokemon Center amounts to is a very fancy bed. Notice how a quick nap in a bed completely heals all of your 'Mons? If medicine worked like that, we wouldn't need health care!

Sorry to get all political but just a thought.

I never understood this notion that right wingers use that Obama is a "socialist". Not only is Obama WAY WAY WAAAAY far from being one, those who even claim to be socialists half the time aren't.

Further more in many places in the world, including Western Europe, being a socialist is not considered a bad thing.

And no, I'm not a socialist... but I at least know what is it.
Keep any political sentiments out of this thread. This is final.

That was brilliant, well done to those guys in the video, I couldn't stop laughing at the man who clearly knew nothing about the bill but didn't won't people to know of his ignorance.

Not surprising at all, stuff like this happens all the time, it's just further proof that the general public generally has no idea what they're talking about

Holy shit, this was too funny. And how could the 17 or so year old they were talking to not get it right off the bat?

I love how some people clearly know their answers before hearing the question. They get looks like, "Wait, d-did he say Pokémon?" then keep talking anyway.

However, I think it was unfair for the creators to mock the guy who said "inside the TV". English clearly wasn't his first language, so they should focus on his points, not his grammar.

That was kind of stupid. It wasn't clever but just sneaking in buzzwords which they probably ignored because they didn't want to looks stupid on camera. they didn't really acknowledge their questions at all...

Ever looked at the healing machines? Headrest at the top, footrest at the bottom, 'Mons placed on what would be the mattress.. I guess it's fancier than a bed because it only needs mere seconds instead of a quick nap. Oh, the marvels of technology.

OT: Focuses a bit too much on the elderly, but still pretty funny, I suppose. Mostly just insightful how little people listen. Especially when they full-on mentioned Pokémon and free healthcare at Pokécenters.

This is an old gag; in the 90s comedian Chris Morris demonstrated peoples tendency to give opinions on things they had no clue about. In every episode of his show "Brass Eye" he got celebrities and politiancs to engage themselves in mock-campaigns about things like made up drugs, heavy electricity that falls out of electric cables and crushes people, a depressed elephant that shoves its trunk up its own anus, etc.

Loved it. Consider myself a politically read person and seeing people like this just makes me laugh. HAHAHA!
