I strongly dislike a certain type of cynic, which I might call the "George Carlin" type since they all seem to worship George Carlin. These people are just intellectually lazy. They have an unshakeable conviction that they can see through the lies and that everyone else is an ignorant sheep. But when you actually talk to them about the important questions, you discover that they are extremely misinformed about most topics.
According to the definition I don't see how George Carlin or people who like that sort of humour are cynics. It's satirical, people like me think its funny that a lot of people miss the point being made because they take it too seriously. I mean there are bands like this that people get offended by when they are just being satirical. I mean George Carlin probably did not really hate everyone anymore than the members of death metal bands actually brutally murder people, its not for serious.
