Stupid? That someone doesn't know who this guy is? Wow! You must be quite an "elite". Cool! Could I know you? Have coffee sometime? I could run errands for you.

C'mon. If that's your measure for stupid then you must be pretty damn special. I bet the percentage is in the higher end of the 90's of people who knows who this guy is. And the remaining few percent? They are no smarter. They just happen to be Indian or a Bollywood fanatic. In fact, of those, many might be less smart.
