Nothing against Leah Dunham, but the fact that the line to see her speak at SXSW was 10 times longer than the line to hear Edward Snowden (they spoke at the same time earlier today) reflects quite poorly on our society’s priorities.
Not that there was ever any doubt.
Earlier today, USA Today reported:
Update at 11:38 a.m. ET: We’re about 25 minutes away from the start of Snowden’s chat and lines are already forming.
But, according to USA TODAY’s Jon Swartz, reporting from SXSW, lines for a competing chat with Girls star Lena Dunham are 10 times longer than the the line for Snowden’s talk.
The Truman Show rolls on.
