Illiteracy

Hippies love books. Well, not really. They love to think they love books. And they love to let other people think they love books. But really, they don’t. Because, believe it or not, most hippies can’t read. That’s why they love foreign films. They can’t read the subtitles, so they pretty much make up the lines in their heads as the movie plays. That way, when they get out of the theater after the show, they will have a totally different interpretation of the movie and its greater meaning. Which makes them look ethereal and intellectual, when in actuality, they are simply illiterate.
