    A Jimmy Kimmel segment in which interviewers at SXSW ask festival-goers about made-up bands, and many people confidently claim to know and like them.

      If anyone is curious about the Kimmel clip, it's on youtube: this video The article makes a lot more sense after watching it IMO.

    2. @robocatMay 2022· in “We are all confident idiots (2014)”

      Bitrot? Missing assets for video and some images (perhaps on iPadOS only?). Jimmy Kimmel’s Lie Witness News SXSW edition link: this video “Imagine that the illustration below represents a curved tube lying horizontally on a table:” [LINK] Paper without video links: [LINK]

    3. @kelvin0Nov 2014· in “The hipster effect: When anticonformists all look the same”
