Sopranos Ends, Most Of America Retarded

Sorry I didn't put a spoiler warning, but the preceding image is the last shot from the final episode of the Sopranos. I'm not even going to get into a huge debate on whether or not this was a proper send off, but for the record, I didn't mind it and it was scary as hell. What concerns me most about all this is the level of stupidity apparent in all those who viewed it and have since commented on it. The sheer number of people that actually thought their cable went out is astonishing and they are all retarded. What's even worse is the staggering amount of articles, commentary, and ignorant forum postings calling it a "fade" to black. That was a cut people. A C-U-T, cut! A fade is a slow progression from picture to black over the course of several frames or seconds. When there is picture one frame and black the next, guess what... it's a @#$%ing cut. And if I hear one more person call it a "fade to black" in public, they're going to get to see all the violence they were hoping for. Or maybe they'll just cut to black.
