I used to be impressed at David Wong's schtick until I realized that he's taking simple, insightful concepts and dumbing them the fuck down and adding a lot of fart jokes and snark to make his point. I still think the point needs to be made, and I think that the dumbing down and snark expose the ideas (which are important) to a larger audience. But I think the country mouse/city mouse discussion could probably have been had at a slightly more elevated tenor, even in the hallowed pages of Cracked.
