Josh Gad Writes About the Power of 140 Characters and Twitter 'Experts'

Josh Gad posted today a satirical column for USA Today about how "experts" are no longer needed with the advent of Twitter and other social networking sites, which can provide more immediate and passionate answers via everyday users.

"It turns out that passion outweighs hard fact," Gad writes, discussing DeepCowboyRenegade32's angry response to Gad's recent Tweet about global warming. "For years, our scientists have been looking at strata and ice deposits from the past few centuries to determine their findings. But what these "morons" didn't consider was that a group of us, call us the "uninformed passionate Tweeters," would call them out with nothing to back up our claims. Yes, their "information" may be of solid deduction and based on reasonable hypotheses, but our voices are louder and so much angrier and therefore so much righter!!!"
