| 17/08/06 | | Being an Expert on Anything |
Stephen Colbert, the comedian who brought us the devastating roast of George W. Bush at the 2006 White House Correspondents Dinner, has outlined how you can be an expert in anything. Good advice for people wishing to fine tune their bullshit detectors. Here are Stephen’s 6 headings. Check out his article in Wired for the detail instructions.
- Pick a field that can't be verified.
- Choose a subject that’s actually secret.
- Get your own entry in an encyclopedia.
- Use the word zeitgeist as often as possible.
- Be sure to use lots of abbreviations and acronyms.
- Speak from the balls, not from the diaphragm.
