Not satisfied with attacking the acts, Professor Chomsky then turned his critique on The X Factor audience. `You are all complicit in a hegemonic construct designed primarily to keep you from questioning what is really going on in the world,' he told them, `You must learn to think critically and reject the pernicious cult of celebrity.' It was at this point that the audience went wild, whooping, cheering and chanting his name. `We love you Chomsky!' they screamed as the 81 year-old professor sat at the table with his head in his hands.

Wonder what the crowd reaction would have been if I was in Chomsky's shoes:

"You're all a bunch of braindead cattle waiting to be butchered, and you deserve your fate."

In the end, might makes right. Nothing has changed since the caveman.

There is little chance one could mistake you for Chomsky...

I don't think that was my point. I just wondered what the crowd reaction would be to some, in-your-face here's the bad news, you idiot motherfuckers, message.
