“Immaculate Conception of Christ? The Immaculate Conception is of Mary. ”

Excuse me, you’re quite right. I meant “divine” or “virgin” conception, refering to Christ. Theology STILL isn’t my strong suit.

Maybe they wouldn’t sound so… ah… ill-informed if they actually took the time to sit back, think about what they’re going to say, and then insert it into the conversation, rather than all trying to speak at exactly the same time.

Until Stewie throws in some cake or something and then they all have at it.

The best part about this? Seriously?

It’s not that she’s flying in the face of established history. It’s not that she’s refuting science. It’s not even that she’s yet again willfully demonstrating her own ignorance.

It’s that she’s CALLING THE OLD TESTAMENT A LIE. Now, I’m not a particularly religious person, but if I were, I don’t think I would go on national television and insult my own religion.

That, I must say, is absolutely priceless. I really need to start watching the View more. You can’t write comedy gold like this.

It doesnâ€™t matter how stupid she is. She can vote. Thatâ€™s whatâ€™s scary.

But like so many, she probably doesn’t.

> Jay Leno used to do street interviews where he asked random people on the street questions like that â€” most people didnâ€™t know some very basic stuff.

That’s not what I’d call a scientific sample. The people who got it right have no comedic value, and so were cut out.

It’s people like Sherri Shepherd that are the reason the British humor style called “understatement” doesn’t work in America.

Remember, educating yourself takes time. Sherri Shepherd probably had to spend that time on other things. Also, as has already been pointed out, average Americans all over are that ignorant. Jay Leno used to do street interviews where he asked random people on the street questions like that — most people didn’t know some very basic stuff.

Sherri Shepherd may be ignorant — but she probably earns more than most of us.
