The Idiot Report

Shaun Connell

Dec 30, 2008 Everyday People

Shaun Connell on his website, ShaunConnell.com, claims to be “a professional web-publisher, philosopher, psychologist, student and freelance writer. Jack of all trades, master of none.”  Let’s parse that down, shall we?

• Professional web-publisher: If you’re using Firefox or Safari, it’s obvious Connell is not much of web-publisher because his shit website doesn’t even render properly.  I think the only thing he tried to do with that Wordpress theme was to put a banner at the top, which 3/4 of it is cut off by bad coding.  Plus, he has phrases like “click here” that aren’t linked to anything.  Idiot!
• Philosopher: Everybody is a philosopher.  Thought about the meaning of life?  Great, you can call yourself a philosopher.  Fellating Ayn Rand?  You’re not a philosopher.  You’re just insane.
• Psychologist:  Unless Connell has a doctorate in psychology, then this guy is just a psychology major.  And if he didn’t study psychology in college, then he’s a fucking liar.
• Student: He sure looks like one.
• Freelance writer: Blogging doesn’t make your a freelance writer.  Connell also sucks as a writer.  Check out this beautiful piece of prose: Even the philosophers who preach the restriction of men, and the redistribution of their wealth, believe this. If a poor man forced his way into their wallet on the street, they would be upset, whether the money would be used or abused — it doesn’t matter. That was their money, dangit. Lock also talked about this, saying, “I have always thought the actions of men the best interpreters of their thoughts.” Bingo. “Their wallet?”  “Dangit?”  Who’s Lock?  You mean Locke?  “Bingo?”

Shaun Connell, self-described jack of all trades?  You’re a jack of all idiocy.
