True statement. As such, these same "important" people are considered to have intellect surpassing the norm, but in actuality are one hamburger short of a Happy Meal.

Like a friend of mine was saying; "Why do we call them 'celebrities'? What is there to celebrate about them? They are foolish overpaid bums. Aren`t they the opposite of what we should celebrate in people? Shouldn`t we use the antonym of "celebrities" and call them "nobodies"?
