Because Atrios already pulled the "Stupid IT BURNS!!!!!!" shtick.
(ajc) "People such as scientist Stephen Hawking wouldn't have a chance in the U.K., where the National Health Service would say the life of this brilliant man, because of his physical handicaps, is essentially worthless," the editorial claims.My FSM! You would think a simple Google would prevent such an ignorant statement as this from making it into print. But then, lying might be the motivating force, instead of ignorance. Once it hits the email circuit, it is going to be certifiable truth.
OMFG! They honest to Bob don't actually know who Stephan Hawking is. He should have had them sample John Cleese for his "voice" instead of the American version.
They must assume he was born in Oxford, Mississippi and lives in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
Hehehehe. I agree. Still, at this juncture, they are unconcerned about their level of stupidity. They know anything they print will be put in those irritating emails that get passed from ignorant republican peasant to ignorant republican peasant, to forever be know now as the gospel truth.
