This is a question Ignorance

I once was in a programming class where the task was "build a calculator". A student did one with buttons 1, 2, 3 all the way up to about 25 and then ran out of space on the screen. We've asked this before but liked it so much we're asking again: What's the best example of ignorance you've encountered?

Everyone in Britain should be implanted with a V-chip that electrocutes them every time they say something fucking stupid.

We can test it on the couple I sat next to in Subway the other day:

Man - "I watched Cheech and Chong last night. It was funny."
Woman - "Is that Bruce Lee?"
Man - "No..."
Woman - "Jackie Chan?"
Man - "No..."

God send electricity.

well....
I used to assume that the program marked in the Radio Times as 'Sgt Bilko' was some kind of variety on the theme of 'The Chinese Detective'... mind you, I was only 11 at the time.

Whatever happened to David Yip?
Gah - all questions on the interpages are rhetorical nowadays - apparently he did two episodes of Chucklevision a couple of years back...

Person in 'not being aware of Cult Thing that isn't actually that good' shocker!

It was more the fact that she though "Cheech" and "Chong"
were chinese words than her awareness of a cult film from the 70s that I thought was ignorant. But nevermind. You still got to make a comment that makes you feel hilarious, so no harm done, eh?

If this ever happens you'd better hope the scope of "fucking stupid" doesn't include "reactionary" too.

It won't
as those are two mutually exclusive things.

No they aren't.

Yes, they are.
Just because your opinion states otherwise doesn't make it any less of an irrefutable fact.

No mention of stupidity there.

'Mutually exclusive' would mean that one can either be reactionary or stupid, not both.
Nice work, dictionary boy.

mutually exclusive 
noun
of or pertaining to a situation involving two or more events, possibilities, etc., in which the occurrence of one precludes the occurrence of the other: mutually exclusive plans of action.

Prick.

He's state-educated, what do you expect.

Quite frankly, Wooders, I expected better of a state educated, pro-violence, SPORT ARE TROOP'S, heavy metal, gingivitis-ridden sociopath.
Seems that in his frantic rush over to dictionary.com to actually find out what 'reactionary' meant, he neglected to ensure that he also knew what 'mutually exclusive' means.

I would say that I pity him, but no doubt he would get a chubbo as a result and have to vigorously masturbate to be able to source an iota of joy in his bleak, depressing and suicidally-tinged life.

He's probably over there now, looking up 'precludes'.

Probably votes BNP too, you know what those ignorant opinionated types are like.

Leave him alone Wooders, he's still crying about the whole 'looking silly on the internet' thing.

You're right
this is the worst thing that has ever happened to me.
(I helped save b3ta! PMGT -Bacon., Sun 2 Sep 2012, 22:18, closed)
what, worse than being born?

(dozers, do fuck off ur a nob m8, Sun 2 Sep 2012, 22:22, closed)
Yes?

Having never heard of Cheech and Chong I just watched the trailer for their 1978 film 'Up in Smoke'
I preferred it when I was ignorant of them :(

You might as well, no-one's going to be laughing at Cheech and Chong.
