    Fly by night communication. Hardly ever face-to-face.

    Yes, what used to be the typical 15 second attention span of the average American is now down to 140 characters or less…

    @Clark Kent

    Less. The woman in yellow didn’t make it all the way to 140. She’s like me, I only read the first screen of an SMS on my phone. I don’t have time to read past that first screen, I have to comment on these cartoons.

    Twitter and Facebook: Never before have so many people been able to say so much that was utterly ignored by so many.

    You know, Ted, you put an awful lot of words in your strips for a political cartoon…

    140 Characters is long winded?

    “Nine whole words? Jeez, Tolstoy. Are you TRYING to cut into my reality-TV time?!”

    @Mr. King

    We aren’t limited to 140 characters. Some of these commenting characters go on forever.

    And this is why rational arguments lose.

    “All propaganda must be popular and its intellectual level must be adjusted to the most limited intelligence among those it is addressed to…. effective propaganda must be limited to a very few points and must harp on these in slogans… As soon as you sacrifice this slogan and try to be many-sided, the effect will piddle away, for the crowd can neither digest nor retain the material offered. In this way the result is weakened and in the end entirely cancelled out.” -Mein Kamph, Chap. 6.

    If the lies fit the prejudices of the audience it will spread far and wide. Reality will be still born.
