Pub Trivia: unexpected source of reflections on the state of our society

February 12, 2009

Lessons from last night’s pub trivia outing:

Four of the top ten most-visited sites in the world in 2007 were DISNEY THEME PARKS. (Including EuroDisney, which I’d always heard was kind of a flop.) I felt like I at least earned the intellectual high ground for overestimating my human brethren by guessing such off-the-beaten-path places as “the Eiffel tower” and “the Vatican” and “Mecca”.

    Yeah, I’m pretty much going to have to know what the other six were!

    MECCA isn’t one? SRSLY?

    This doesn’t bode well for our society.

    Well, Disney IS pretty awesome. But EuroDisney? That’s kinda sad.
