Mensans v Non-Mensans
Jill, at Feministe, makes a blog post ridiculing a comment that uses Mensa membership to validate a fondness for the Cathy comic strip.

The first comment starts off with a defense of Mensa and an earnest explanation of what it means to be a genius. But soon comments erupt criticizing all standard tests, defending standardized tests and Mensa, along with accusations of ableism, lamenting the loneliness and social ostracization that is the lot of smart people and horror at Jill's very appalling anti-intellectualism.

SweetMachine nicely rounds up the kerfuffle: Way to fight the good fight, Mensa lovers! Put that genius to work!

	Chocolate is way better than strawberry. Go for it. ;-) (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I like the chocolate quite a lot, but I've never had the strawberry. What's it taste like? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I've never tried strawberry Yoo-hoo, but if it tastes anything like strawberry Instant Breakfast, no amount of mouthwash can make it go away. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I actually like the strawberry Instant Breakfast. Then again, I'll happily mix milk and fruit juice, so maybe my taste buds are broken. (Reply to this)(Parent)
