The Most Surreal Hour of Television So Far This Year: The Good Wife – “Bitcoin For Dummies”
Okay so we’re not even a whole month through this year yet but it’s still true dammit.
Anyway, last night’s episode of The Good Wife, “Bitcoin For Dummies,” was unsurprisingly about Bitcoin. Highlights of this bizarre episode include:
- Jason “You Put Your Dick in a Pie” Biggs portraying a lawyer supposedly representing the creator of Bitcoin;
- The pseudonymous creator of Bitcoin being referred to in court as “Mr. Bitcoin”;
- Jim Cramer serving as an expert witness testifying that Bitcoin is a commodity, not a currency;
- A prosecutor trying to discount Cramer’s testimony by pointing out he has a soundboard and occasionally clenches a knife in his teeth, to which Cramer responds that it’s really more of a scimitar;
- A “judge” “ruling” that Bitcoin is a currency, not a commodity; and
- The true identity of “Mr. Bitcoin” shockingly revealed on prime time television!
I was cracking up the entire time at this amazing mess of a program.
