And boy is Vox proving it over and over. Take a gander at this epic idiocy pointed out by Twitchy on Sunday:

Come on. Now you are just trolling us, no?

@Heminator Feel like that Vox piece had to be clickbait, not true ignorance. No one’s that dumb.
— Allahpundit (@allahpundit) September 29, 2014
Or perhaps both? Idiocy and pathetic click-baiting.

@Heminator Yeah, but that’s gullibility. What adult hasn’t seen the hands-up gesture in old movies and photos?
— Allahpundit (@allahpundit) September 29, 2014
That’s old time-y and stuff! Geez. Get hip.

Snicker.

Double snicker.
@seanmdav @Heminator @allahpundit To be fair, Nov 4, 2008 was when the oceans started to recede. Everything before was antediluviuan.

Brilliant.
Many suspect “stupidity clicks.”

This is why you should always tweet screenshots of Vox, not links RT @JohnEkdahl: “Stupidity clicks” http://t.co/eUuYOn11ib

@SonnyBunch They've made weirdly admirable quasi-Nietzschean decision to give up on respectability – they're laughing all the way to bank.

Pitiful.
What’s next for Vox?
