What BBN said about it

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentThe Depp prop clip is now past fifteen million views, number eight on YouTube's comedy chart, and it is still just a man staring at a thing that stopped working.
Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorFifteen million. That's the population of a small apocalypse, and every one of them stared at a broken prop.
Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentI gave it a nine point five this morning, and the comments agree. Somebody wrote an essay about his eyebrows.
Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorAn essay. I'm calling a taste-test inquiry into that prop, because anything that confusing and that popular smells suspicious.
Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentYou can't taste a prop.
Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorThat's exactly what the prop wants you to think. Fine, I've watched it four times, and it's a nine point six. Hashtag ConfusedEyebrows.
