"I bet those Americans think they're so smart making space-proof pen! Ha, we use space pencil!" "Ivan, why is there black dust in the air?" "I don't know, maybe air filter broken. Igor, check the filter." "I can't, Sven, the computer's freaking out from pencil dust!" *Russian spaceship falls from the sky because they forgot graphite is conductive. Hits a major American landmark on accident, triggers WWIII* This has been an American caricature of Russian Astronauts
"Today America has declared war on Russia, after Spudnik one collided with the Washington Monument. Cause of the downed Russian space craft has been determined by Nasa officials today. Care to explain it Dr. Smith?" "Of course Nancy. It seems at though our competition was using plain old #2 pencils, when their computers went berserk and sent the craft into an orbital decay. Though I don't see why we had to star a war with Russ-" "And in other news..."
Meanwhile on Mars... "Today we have witnessed another Earthican blunder, when one of their silly rocket ships began to fall out of orbit and collide with the continent we believe to be dropping remote control toys on our planet. Thus far they have not been able to discover our society, despite their best efforts to do so. Now for the weather with Forkina." "Thanks Plylock. Yes we are expecting severe sandstorms tonight, and high UV radiation in the morning."
Others in the UK may relate to this one, but the TV show 'Love Island' annoys the living Bejesus out of me. I don't even watch it, so it shouldn't - except it takes over social media/newspapers etc. 8 weeks of these vacuous cretins 'looking for love' in all the wrong places.
All they need to do is join WF. Worked for me and a few others... On the other hand, if they are vacuous, they're probably better off on a island far away.
Better, cos you're drawn to the personality instead. Though my guy just so happens to have it all. I must have won the WF lottery.
Accidentally watched about ten mins of that the other day. My wife had to translate the BS they were talking. I think it might have been about shoes? Pointless rubbish. It will be over soon... I can't believe it's still on, given the painfully clear mental health risk for the contestants.
Healthy, maybe, but some people are out there trying to look some kind of pokemon, or a wisdom tooth from the waist down. Same body image problems we've been having for centuries, just pointed in a different direction and somehow that means we're enlightened.
