The Anatomy of a Vidiot - It's good to laugh at ourselves once in awhile. We hope you enjoy this good-natured poke at the Vidiot in all of us.
Some folks achieve greatness, some have greatness thrust upon them and some, well, some just never quite make it. We've all heard the success stories of Hitchcock, Spielberg and Truffaut, but what about the unsung heroes and the underdogs? Where are their great tales of mediocrity?
Our crack fact-finding team of research experts labored for a good 45 minutes without food, drink or sleep in order to bring you what we consider the most scientifically and sociologically significant news since the invention of green ketchup. Yes, we've stepped on corporate toes, paid off countless politicians and lost a considerable amount of self-respect in order to bring you: The Anatomy of a Vidiot. It's good to laugh at ourselves once in awhile. We hope you enjoy this good-natured poke at the Vidiot in all of us.

Typically located around the right eye, as the Vidiot sees the bulk of his vacation through the viewfinder.
