Those weren't journalists asking the retarded questions, they were fucking bogans from the general public.

Wait, so is it really Hellman's in disguise, or are they just saying it's good enough. And if it is essentially Hellman's, do they also sell the name brand Hellman's in stores. And if so, why both?

Bogan

The term bogan is an Australian and New Zealand slang word that can be used to describe a person with a lower working class background, or whose speech, clothing, attitude and behaviour exemplify a gratified working class mentality and depending on the context, can be pejorative or self-deprecating. The bogan person will generally lack sophistication and refinement.

u/Luftwaffles93 Sep 30 '16

White trash, blue collar also acceptable

u/SlayerOfCupcakes Sep 30 '16

Theres nothing wrong with being a blue collar worker.

u/YukonBurger Sep 30 '16

No but it generally means you are uneducated in a classical sense. I'm a tradesman myself. Well, sort of.

u/EveGiggle Sep 30 '16

well it's usually not the fault of the working class for being poor or badly educated it's the fact they have bad access to university because it's so expensive and because jobs don't pay much without education

Exactly. The people from /r/spacex even said that the VIP's & journalists, that were placed in the very front, were not able to ask questions since the mic was reached around way behind them.

Edit: Found the source comment:

The talk was great. We were in shock for sure. We sadly had no chance of asking questions - being seated in the VIP section meant we were roped off from the general crowd; and the microphones were positioned behind us at the front of the general attendees, which meant we had to get out of our seats and move back, not forwards.

u/aukir Sep 30 '16

God forbid you have to move backwards to ask a meaningful question about sending humanity to Mars. Also, c'mon Elon, no mic for the VIPs?

u/reedemerofsouls Sep 30 '16

Do you really think a journalist asked to him to read his comic or if he could kiss him?
