I interacted with real people today and figured out how ignorant they are.

I talked to real people today, you know like people who are not on the internet, but in the real world. Anyho, I am amazed at how ignorant they are of this world, and their surrounding. Not a single one of them knew what the term "Owned" meant. I didn't even try asking what "Pwned" meant, cuz I would get the same blank replies. Not one of them had heard of Bubba and Lil'sis, or Woo Woo. I got the same blank looks when I inquired about Simmerman or "That man who can stretch things" and "That woman who is in a tub". Office Space is not their favourite film, neither have they ever heard of Tokyo Breakfast.

Then I saw the height of being ignorant. They were totally unaware of the phenomena which swept the internet about 2 year ago. Yes I am talking about the one and only "All Your Base Are Belong To Us".

How can people be so disconnected from the world?

Based on the context in the original post I may regret asking this, but what/who is Simmerman?
