The Friday Link for 9/2/16

This weeks Friday Link is a little Labor Day gem from Adam Ruins Everything, the series which started out as part of the CollegeHumor crew, but was so good, it..graduated (???) to basic cable...okay Tru TV, but heck someone there was smart!

The concept is tried and true.  The host, Adam Conover, deconstructs a common everyday myths about things, enlightening and educating in a very witty and well delivered style.  This reminds me of one of the original sojourns into this format, the great newspaper column, The Straight Dope with Cecil Adams.  In the case of Adam Ruins Everything, it's like the newspaper, for your eyes!  It also reminds me of Good Eats, back when Alton Brown cooked and cooked well!  Just click and you'll see the brilliance, and you might just learn something...

We'll go with Adam ruining the workplace for Labor Day.  This should make you pretty upset:

And he takes a few good shots at the NFL and concussions here:


And he even takes on funerals:


Enjoy, and have a great Labor Day weekend.  I'll have State Fair pictures on Sunday night!
