Has he managed to not watch TV news shows, read magazines or most newspapers? This happened years before the advent of YouTube or MySpace, mostly by mainstream media. Opinion superceded actual information long ago. The professional stuff is just slicker.
Yeah, see, this is why I dislike the whole MySpace thing. It's all so 'Look at me! I'm on the internet and my profile changes colours so I must be worth listening to!' Blah.
