Can Bill O'Reilly Possibly Be Serious?

Bill O'Reilly, regular sender of goons with cameras who ambush people he disagrees with, posted a video Friday with a warning about how you will lose your privacy to technology. It's hypocritical on so many levels it will make your head spin:

Asking "How many times does he need to be called out on this particular hypocrisy?" is the wrong question. The question is "How stupid must his viewers be?" Like Bill does himself, let's assume they're all "blasted" drunk. (If you see a Bill O'Reilly fan, by all means "snip" his picture and put it on an "internet company" site.) (Via ThinkProgress.)

Uh oh, we're going to need a bigger Videogum Support Group For Children of O'Reilly Fanatics. (My mom additionally thinks Ann Coulter is a "savvy lady." Lots Of Love.)

If there's no privacy, then who can I rub with falafel?

This is a preemptive "Pay no attention to those drunk photos of me with donkey."

If I get stupid drunk in public, I can expect people to take my picture. Got it. Does Bill-O have any other valuable life lessons to share with us? Like if you're a famous athlete, you can expect people to take pictures of you participating in your sport? Or that the courts, "for some reason", support other privileges protected in the Bill of Rights, such as freedom of religion and freedom of speech? Or could just post a video explaining how to tie your shoes? I'm sick of wearing these velcro ones.

"I'm just trying to protect you"

Add "baby" to the end of that and Bill O'Reilly is a spousal abuser.

...and just when I was about to flask a teenage Indonesian girl in the lobby of an internet company, filled with paps on camera phones... Thank you Mr. O'Reily for giving me the heads up and, most of all, for protecting me!
