TWO-THIRDS BELIEVE THEIR WINDOWS ARE GIANT SCREENS
20-08-10
MOST people are convinced that the view from their living room is a 2D image made of pixels
and the screen switches itself off at night. Research by the Institute for Studies found that almost 70 percent believe that windows are non-interactive screens and that 'outside' exists on a purely conceptual level.
"The English, most of whom are without work, have precious little reason to go outside unless their house catches on fire. Even then 64% say at that point they would just keep masturbating."
Unemployed man, Bill McKay, said: "There's a big screen in the middle of my bedroom wall with a picture of a tree on it, and sometimes also a car.
"I've tried dragging the car onto the top of the tree but it appears not to be touch-sensitive.
"I've been looking for the keyboard that operates it, because I would like to change the picture to breasts, or some hostages being beheaded."
He added: "I've heard about the 'outside', I googled it. I think it's real but invisible, like ghosts."

Is anyone taking the trouble to debunk the misguided few who believe the outdoors actually exists?
skid: do you?
