   @MK2boogaloo I remember two TED talks:
   
   - A guy who annoyed Nigerian scammers
   - A schizo woman talking about the voices in her head as if it's normal and okay
   
   The first one was entertaining but not really "inspiring" like those talks are supposed to be, and the second one was just kind of sad. She clearly needed help but had learned to live with it instead.
   
   Sam Hyde's parody was in a completely different league. Instantly memorable, highly rewatchable, and more accurate than probably even he thought it would be.
   
   I'm still waiting for the trash cube economy, though.

     @vic @MK2boogaloo There's a TED talk by some woman talking about how she got a bunch of men to line up and jack off.
     I remember it because she was measuring how far they could shoot it, and all I could think of was how you can put out a lot more force with a pussy than with your hand. (Source: Personal experience)

     @Zerglingman @MK2boogaloo That actually is something within the realm of possibility in a TED talk. They try to make the audience feel uncomfortable and then talk about their discomfort.
     
     "Hello, today I want to talk to you about a word we don't like to talk about. You know what it is right now, without me even saying it. I'm going to say it anyway."
     
     "Nigger."
     
     "For a lot of you, your spines are tingling just from hearing me say that. Why? Let me say it again."
     
     "Nigger."
     
     "By the end of this talk, you will have heard me say that word enough times that it will no longer hold any of its power over you or anyone else."
     
     "Nigger."
     
     and so on

     @vic @MK2boogaloo This would be a more productive and practical talk than half of what they let in.
