We now live in a world where the facts can be wrong.

Indeed they can, but most people realise that certain facts aren't worth arguing against because the law of probability means they are almost certainly right - the facts that is! Apart from gareth who thinks that only his opnion is right despite significant provable evidence to the contrary!

There is currently a (clear) spoof news story going around about Band Aid re-releasing Do They Know It's Christmas in aid of the Labour Party - almost all of the posts in response are furious - one even declares that it would actually be illegal for Geldof to do this because he is Irish.
When it doesn't happen, these people will feel vindicated that they were part of the reaction that managed to stop it.
Back when we had Not The Nine O'Clock News and Spitting Image, people didn't really believe it, as far as I can remember.
Did they?

The trouble with the internet and specifically with regard to Farcebook and Twatter is that it has given the stupid in society a platform. Both to air their stupidity and to meet like-minded stupid people. They can therefore reach a much wider audience with their stupidity than they ever could before.
I'm not saying that everyone on social media is stupid by the way. Just the stupid ones.

It's rather like uranium - there is no more about than there ever was, but, scattered thinly, it had little real effect. It was only when we started to concentrate it that it became an issue.
I doubt that there is more stupidity about than there ever was, but, we have given them the means to reinforce themselves continually and with, as yet, no penalty for carrying on doing it...
In the old days, you had to do this through newspapers, radio and Nuremberg-style rallies, etc. Nowadays, they can do it themselves, 24 hours a day.

Fair point. Shame on them!

It's so obviously a spoof that the stupid is painful! Had me in stitches, but oddly Facebook is currently not loading any images for me so I've stopped laughing at the outraged.
Spitting Image needs to return, even if just for a one off resurrection of the presidents brain is missing on Friday.

It isn't a spoof. Bob has asked me to play drums because Phil Collins's arthritis has flared up.
It's a shame it wasn't laryngitis.
Well it looks like that budget come round faster than I thought. Appear there fixing towards the bottom of town near sports direct.
