Outside the ordered universe is that amorphous blight of nethermost confusion which blasphemes and bubbles at the center of all infinity—the boundless daemon sultan Azathoth, whose name no lips dare speak aloud, and who gnaws hungrily in inconceivable, unlighted chambers beyond time and space amidst the muffled, maddening beating of vile drums and the thin monotonous whine of accursed flutes.

Re: Fox News makes you stupid.
That's a pretty good quiz actually...and, I hate to say it, but I'm pretty sure a lot of people on this forum wouldn't do very well on this quiz. (I think it's fair to exclude non US people from this quiz since it's US centric)
I got 13 out of 15.

Re: Fox News makes you stupid.
Not going to pee in your cheerios too badly, but if you state a correlation and then 'the conclusion is inescapable' and then try to stand by it, I'm going to find you and smack you. Lousy thinking on someone else's part does not necessitate me acting like a brain damaged lemming. Nor does it necessitate that I must accept the behavior of those that do because they nominally agree with me on an issue.Gawdzilla wrote: The conclusion is inescapable. Fox News is deliberately misinforming its viewers and it is doing so for a reason. Every issue above is one in which the Republican Party had a vested interest. The GOP benefited from the ignorance that Fox News helped to proliferate. The results were apparent in the election last month as voters based their decisions on demonstrably false information fed to them by Fox News.
I missed two on the quiz, though I hold one of them is not very wrong (imho recovery is still open). Also, I can count to 15, and that wasn't
Gallstones, I believe you know how to contact me. The rest of you? I could not possibly even care.

Probably both. It's a self-perpetuating engine of despair :sighsm:drl2 wrote:Does Fox make one stupid, or does it simply attract people who are stupid already? More research needed.

I'm pushing the leftist agenda. I've got a superiority complex and loathe the working class. I despise anyone who disagrees with me and I'm a very troubled individual.
People think "queue" is just "q" followed by 4 silent letters.
But those letters are not silent.
They're just waiting their turn.

Not a US citizen or resident, but I got 10/11. The quizz has a clear liberal bias though: choose the answer you wouldn't expect from FOX News, and you should score pretty well.maiforpeace wrote:That's a pretty good quiz actually...and, I hate to say it, but I'm pretty sure a lot of people on this forum wouldn't do very well on this quiz.

ETA: Giving answers that go against FOX spin gives you a 9/11 score.

Republicanism at its greatest.
