Дети, учите матчасть

This joke went through daily funmail last week.

A recent survey in England asked the following question:
Are there too many foreigners in this country now?

Answer:
20%: YES
10% : NO
70% :معهد الأمن العالمي بواشنط

The real funny thing, though, is that the Arabic phrase means "World Security Institute of Washingt". Looks like the guy who started a spree copy-pasted it without knowing...

Conclusion? No conclusion here. Just, err, observation.

Thanks to wildernesscat for the input.

Говорят, в какой-то компьютерной игре у Главного Злодея-китайца на груди был устрашающий иероглиф, означающий что-то типа "hand wash only".

Вот что бывает, когда идиоты умничают. Пока было "10 да, 20 нет, 70 сами мы не местные" - было хоть умеренно смешно...

Well, quite.
It was quite a surprise to come back from a trip to Sweden at the weekend. One gets used to living here, but within a couple of hours I had encountered traffic jams, boorish drivers, officious bureaucrats, broken down amenities, overcrowding and general rudeness. It was made more obvious by the comparison.

Yes, those that do their homework (from time to time at least) would have made it meaningful...
