Robert,
Your co-clerk made a good point except I'm not worried. "We" have survived stupidity and depravity for a long time. One of my favorite examples was of the notorious bank robbers/murderers, Bonnie and Clyde. Ten thousand people came to gawk at Clyde's funereal, forty thousand at Bonnie's. Bonnie, during her thankfully brief public life, inspired wide spread copy cat hair styles and dress among young women.
I have long ago learned how to deal with the ignorance of "the public": expect the worst.
I am never disappointed.
Jg

The part with the gas can cracked me up. The current EPA-mandated gas can nozzles reflect the true genius of government. Take something that isn’t a problem and give it a solution that is a problem.

Wanton destruction is an immature, depraved form of entertainment. This thing is like a snuff film. Yeah, it's not going to make $100k...he only makes a decent annual amount due to putting out multiple videos a week. So far, best guess is that it made around $5-8k, and based on his typical content, it'll probably continue up to around $15k or so. His "driving in the ocean" video was his most popular by far, and that's estimated somewhere around $50-70k so far. Assuming he got the plane fairly cheap (ie, was wings-off sitting in a hangar, yours for $10k), that's still $5k profit for that week. Again, I don't like it, but it is the nature of "entertainment" - there's clearly an audience for it. As others have mentioned, it's nothing "new", people have been enamored with odd stuff for eons. And luckily there's also equally-if-not-more popular channels that do productive/creative things like Mark Rober and Smarter Every Day. It doesn't look to be overly popular so far, either, so guessing he won't be doing a round two with airplanes. https://socialblade.com/youtube/channel ...

The video certainly made me cringe, and it isn't what I see as entertaining.
However, I do wonder how many folks that have negative opinions about this video thought the "Dukes of Hazard" TV show was great...

Exactly. Back then, those were just old muscle cars. And they made something like 200,000 of them.
