Well, if you wanted to be—and plenty of people do—then there’s an easy way. All you have to do is give a really bad answer to an easy question.
- bryanrasmussen 6y agoYeah, I think that "what's the religion of Israel" - "Islamic" is indistinguishable from entry level trolling, and maybe given the short pause before saying it this guy was thinking "how do I get on the news but in a defensible way I can tell my friends yeah I was trolling bro" or maybe he's really stupid. But as a stupidity test there must be some false positives in there - so the rule is, in funny TV segments never ascribe to stupidity that which can be adequately explained by maliciousness. on edit: of course maliciousness used for wordplay purposes, but maybe should be replaced with mischievousness which nowadays is interpreted as meaning less than malicious.
