Kevorkian was candid about his lack of legal expertise. "If I looked inept, I was--in law. But I'm articulate in English." Though peppered with objections, he nevertheless turned his closing arguments into personal testimony on euthanasia and on his crusade. Comparing himself to Rosa Parks on the bus and to Martin Luther King Jr., Kevorkian told the jury that "there are certain acts that by sheer common sense are not crimes. Honestly now, do you see what [the prosecution] calls a killer? If you do, then you must convict. If you don't think I'm a criminal...
...wrong; the bar just got lowered. The Mod Squad, based on the TV series that ran from 1968 to 1973, is a disaster you don't have to wait for to happen. It could be the capper segment in a Fox prime-time special on the World's Most Inept Movies. The cinematography is so gross and grainy that the film looks like its own illegal dupe.

He was so stressed when he realized what an inept press secretary he was that his face broke out and he grew a beard to hide it. He delayed seeking therapy and antidepressants because he feared an unflattering story would leak to the press...
While I will admit that many students at this school are socially inept, of whom I appear to have dated a fair share, this ineptness does not stop at the hallowed doors of our fair gentlemen's clubs. I find it hard to believe that a fellow who purchases friendships based on shared monetary privilege, which in my experience is not an exaggeration, would choose to call other people dorks. These dorks are not the ones who stock their clubs with drunk girls at a four-to-one ratio in order to secure a chance at scoring...
