The effect of PC induced Jellybrain Syndrome

I was reading Jared 's blog recently, and I came upon this article.  It's scary how often this type of thing happens in our society.  You'd think that we, as a people, the only inhabitants of earth to have overcome the obstacles presented to us by developing Fire, the wheel, caramel in a tin, would have overcome this kind of almost barbaric cruelty.  I'm not going to copy and paste, go read the article (go on, toddle off now.  I'll be waiting when you get back).

As I read it, I thought to myself "Self, how often has that happened to you?"  And the reply I got was "You know, having imaginary conversations with yourself could be construed by some as one of the first signs of mental illness.  You should go see someone", to which I responded "Oh shut up.  I wasn't asking you anything.  This was a kind of rhetorical question.  It was meant to stimulate thought rather than a smarmy response from a sub conscious that, while being very well developed and sexy, is still solely responsible for the fact that I don't get enough exercise". Then, would you believe, I responded with "Oh, this is RICH!  you sit in front of that PS3 and play FFX-2 al day and all night and then blame ME for you not getting enough exercise?", at which point I pointed out that "I do NOT play PS3 all day and all night.  I've played MAYBE three hours in the last two weeks and Jade can testify to that fact", at which point the discussion degenerated into a name calling exercise of note.  I didn't even know I KNEW some of the words that I used.  But after I'd calmed myself down, I agreed that this has happened to me often. 

I had planned on sharing some interesting and funny stories relating to this, but I think the entire argument with myself thing may have damaged my credibility a bit.
