Idiocracy

tell me why and how are all the stupid people breeding
Watson, it's really elementary
the industrial revolution

The survey found that 47 percent thought the 12th century English king Richard the Lionheart was a myth.

And 23 percent thought World War II prime minister Churchill was made up. The same percentage thought Crimean War nurse Florence Nightingale did not actually exist.

Three percent thought Charles Dickens, one of Britain's most famous writers, is a work of fiction himself.

Indian political leader Mahatma Gandhi and Battle of Waterloo victor the Duke of Wellington also appeared in the top 10 of people thought to be myths.

Meanwhile, 58 percent thought Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's fictional detective Holmes actually existed; 33 percent thought the same of W. E. Johns' fictional pilot and adventurer Biggles.

UKTV Gold television surveyed 3,000 people.

I've been insisting for a while now that fabrications and fictional disinfotainment are snuffing fact-based culture.

My cultural creative friends and relatives keep responding that I'm overly puritanical and curmudgeonly and even obsessed with psy-ops culture's disabling of rational thought.

When the Brits forget Churchill, the disciples of Goebbels will have finally won.

Yeah but Charlie Chaplin employed goebbels

You know, Jen looked like such a nice Greek girl. Why would she go and bleach her beauty away like that?

Uh, so she could become a Hollywood glamour babe and marry Brad Pitt, emulated and admired by millions of impressionable girls (some of them nice Greek ones), instead of playing the ethnic sidekick on forgettable sitcoms?
