What I've found with a few discussions I've had lately is this self-satisfaction that people express with their proffessed open mindedness. In realty it ammounts to wilful ignorance and intellectual cowardice as they are choosing to not form any sort of opinion on a particular topic. Basically "I don't know and I'm not going to look at any evidence because I'm quite happy on this fence."

They're all very skillfully and respectfully done. But you can't mix genres and themes like this without a bit of a sense of humor. The Girl Talk ones have some pretty harsh language that you can hear quite clearly.

There's more of a sense of humor and irony in the ones I've posted. But to me it's more of a seriously playful and thoughtful irony than a hipster fashion statement kind of irony.
