That article talks about how people don't think critically, but I'm not sure some of them think at all. There appear to be millions of people out there who need to be
told (or at least watch someone be toldby Dr.Phil) simple things like they have to stop cheating on their wife if they want to save their marriage, or that they have to stop taking heroin if they want to stay alive.
This dizzy Jenny McCarthy will have the same audience of willing stooges. I don't think she'll be doling out much common sense though.
