Mind reading a mind reader is a dangerous game
by Grant St. Clair · Boing BoingMind-reading is one of those superpowers that's only good if you're the only person who has it. All it takes is one person to look just a little too aware of you sifting through their embarrassing fantasies, and you'll be looking over your shoulder for the rest of your life. What if someone gets their hands on your embarrassing fantasies right back?!
Such is the premise of the latest skit from sketch comedy duo Chris and Jack, who specialize in merging the fantastical and mundane. When two rival telepaths stare each other down, things get really confusing really quickly. Who's thinking what? Who's thinking… who? Is there any distinction between entities at all when the mental barriers are lowered and every thought and impulse flows free and unfettered?
Confession: I really, truly thought this would end with them kissing. Ah well.
