A rather amusing moment just now on the trivia-fest that passes for morning news on the BBC.
In one of their regular 'research has shown something we should all be really stirred up about' slots they had a quiz on wildlife.
Seems our kids don't know their Yak from their Yoda or somesuch.
It was therefore rather good value to find that when they gave the 'answers', even with the benefit of hordes of researchers and all the time in the world in advance, they managed to label a certain butterfly incorrectly.
Lots of girlish giggling at the faux pas (even from the blonde too), but it certainly puts these 'are our kids dumber than a box of rocks?' slots in context for the stupid, divisive, ratings-driven non stories they are.
