I'm breaking the 'don't post something that's been on BoingBoing, because everyone has seen it" rule. This video is just too incredible not to (re)share, though. Movie magic's color is green as in green screen/chromakey.

24/7 Wall St. looked across the worlds of celebrity, wealth, fame, corporate power,  national and international politics, and religion to find a number of people who are much less important than they seem to be.  This list is the result of the research about the large population of pretenders and the universe of people who hold the offices, run the companies, and walk the red carpets, but have little if any control over anything in particular.

To qualify for this 24/7 Wall St. list, a person had to be well known, at least in his or her own field or country,  had to be under 100 years of age, and percieved to hold a position of power or influence well beyond the reality of  his station.

U.S. unemployment is dismal right now, but slicing it by educational attainment makes a compelling case for anyone to increase their level of education. As shown below, Americans with bachelor's degrees and higher have just a 4% unemployment rate. There isn't an unemployment disaster for this demographic.
