Oh dear America: Obama the anti-Christ, global warming a hoax, aircraft exhaust fumes are chemicals sprayed by the government....are you kidding me?!

It boasts some of the best educational and research facilities in the world, but it appears God didn’t bless all of America with rational thought and reasoning, following the release of a somewhat embarrassing national poll carried out by the Public Policy Polling organisation*. One would hope the relatively small sample size doesn’t reflect the population as a whole given the surprising results.

Read the highlights below:

• 4% believe that shape-shifting reptilian people control our world by taking on human form and gaining political power to manipulate our societies...YES you did actually just read that. That’s 4 in every 100 people!

Your president...or a lizard? Maybe we should interrogate it.

• 5% believe that the exhaust seen in the sky behind airplanes is actually chemicals sprayed by the government for sinister reasons... Come on guys they cruise at 37,000 feet. 

 

• 13% believe Obama is the anti-Christ...No comment.

• 14% of voters believe in Bigfoot...Supported by how much evidence?

• 15% believe media or the government adds secret mind-controlling technology to television broadcast signal...You will buy extra fries with that burger like a good capitalist consumer.

• 15% of voters think the medical industry and the pharmaceutical industry “invent” new diseases to make money...No they ‘invent’ new pharmaceuticals to relieve you of your money.

37% believe global warming is a hoax....I mean honestly!?
