Does UKTV History count? Which shows evidence that Churchill exists?! My god, the world is coming to an end. Next we'll start believing that theres weapons of mass destruction in some middle eastern country. Oh wait.... |

I'd be so bold as to say you've got it better. To be honest though, I think it's also to do with attitude. One advert on the radio for their dire phone-in quizzes essentially goes "Remember being at school, learning all that boring stuff, like history and lit-er-ahchuurew? (Yeah, that's how the bell-end pronounces it) What was the point?". Sums it up, really. People in this country love to take the piss out of the Yanks, saying how fat and stupid they are. Which is amusing, to say the least. |

Mm, proof that 1500ish people in the UK are stupid. I find that hardly unsurprising, honestly.
Indeed. I do hope some of them die as ironically as they live. |

You got stupid people everywhere you go (although whether or not entire populations choose to live in stupidity is another thing altogether, but I digress...). Just recently, a friend of mine sent me this article, showing polls about stuff like how approximately half of the population in Poland isn't even sure if the Holocaust happened or concentration camps existed - AND AUSCHWITZ ITSELF IS IN POLAND! Also, going back to the thing about Sherlock Holmes... actually, for the image we have of Sherlock Holmes, we can thank this guy, William Gillette. A few years ago, I even visited his castle of a home in upstate Connecticut. Cool place, I definitely recommend visiting it. |
