Do you have any idea how stupid this is?
Then you may have "cognitive privilege"? As the intersectional left continues to kill satire through its very existence, we advance toward the bright future of idiocracy.
Here's the Daily Iowan. The college paper of the University of Iowa. And where better to denounce "cognitive privilege" than a college paper.
There are many kinds of privilege besides white privilege: cognitive privilege, for example. We now know that intelligence is not something we have significant control over but is something we are born with. We are living in a society in which success is increasingly linked to ones intelligence. ...

I thought stuned meant intoxicated.
...just shows what I know!
Is that chick for real, or really just satire?
Seems too over the top for reality.
What a self-entitled bee-yotch!
Now you know. A beeber is any kind of small, electronic item, such as a cellphone, iPod, tv remote, voltmeter, etc. My batty son Pat once pointed a pocket calculator at our priest during Mass and yelled, “Father Hawker! I stuned you with my number-beeber! Fall down!” I wished the earth would swallow me up, but it didn’t.
Beebers can stune or be stuned, depending on context.
they must have made quite an impression on him. They were myopic in more ways than one
Man that’s awsom!
