Not really an expert on "metal" (though enough to know using that term in respect of KISS would infuriate most metalheads), it seems to me that the ridiculousness of the outfit tends to be inversely proportional to the quality of the music.

Still, they've been around since the fall of the Carthaginian Empire, so who am I to criticise.

Easy... I find it dumb that people feel so chuffed watching a stupid fluffed up hairball with whiskers.

There is way too many videos on the internet about cats and I'm amazed that people feel the need to record them, and share them as if somehow they have the cure to depression stored inside a 1 foot tabby.

That's just me. I'm not easily impressed.

How do we know if the paint is actually dry?  This could be just the first segment of a larger series.  Or it could be edited and we don't notice it.  What if it's ten hours sped up into ten minutes?

I would but... It's really hard to tell exactly when the paint is dry.  What is dry?   Where does the "paint" really end?  Can you really tell if the paint is dry just by touching the wall?  What is touch?  Which all means I'm not done yet.

It's good we've got videos of the paint drying.  Now we can back and review the tape in case anything went wrong.  Even if things go well, you can always get more out of some review and analysis.  You miss out on learning new things when everything goes well.  So... Better go back and view that youtube clip multiple times to get the maximum impact.
