His name is Brick Stone?

[Samson Corwell]

I found this man's videos and I think he is extremely talented with what he does here. In a sentence or two, Brick Stone (real name is David Sirus) thinks on his feet, asking the most outlandish questions and then either trips up the person with their own response or follows up with something even more zany. Some of what he says can be a bit chagrinny (could find a the right word so I turned "chagrin" into an adjective). The video below is my favorite—the last 34 seconds of it will really get you—and I included a link to a playlist I found of all his interviews with them. It will have you laughing hysterically or your money back.

Chagrinny is a fine confection, Samson. The word I would have reached for (besides chagrin) is "nonplussed" -- but that word also needs an adjectival form.

'Brick Stone' is brilliant. Thanks for posting this ... the cognitive dissonance of the nutters is a joy to behold.

Ridicule is by far the most effective tool of criticism (even when the subject of the criticism has no idea how ridiculous they sound).

The Westboro crew's implacable nuttiness may show clinical evidence of something like a folie-à-deux. The French even have a phrase for that: 'folie à plusieurs' ... but I am not sure this is even applicable. More likely is that they all are prone to at least some of the problems in thinking found on this page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cognitive_biases

I clicked the 'like' button, but it does not work.
