>I was amused by the "Why Is This Still a Thing?" about the Sports
>Illustrated Swimsuit Issue. I love Why Is This Still a Thing?, but my favorite one so far is "Columbus Day", for personal reasons. My right-wing mother gets riled up easily by things like pointing out what an overhyped shitheel Columbus was (and mythic-American-history debunking in general), and that segment is like it was tailor-made to taunt her. :)
(Also the Ayn Rand one, but I haven't gone there because I don't even want to start that shit with her. Just to give you a taste of what a treat it is to discuss such matters with Mom, she would agree with Rand in the clip where she dismisses Native American grievances on the grounds that they didn't have a real civilization before white folks came, anyway.)
