Making Zoyd perform public acts of craziness and televising them seeems
like a perfectly good way for the Feds to assure that Zoyd and his ilk
continues to be discredited in the mind of a less-than-thoughtful wider
community. He is made assume the position of village idiot. Who would
give credence to the ideas or recollections of the village idiot?
Unless he is a politician of course, or a tenured professor. < : )
See the Pythons on Village Idiocy, specifically the Cleese's ideas on
role of the village idiot in modern society...
