We've all been there:

Encountering a comment so mindnumbingly stupid, ignorant or indecent, maybe racist/ homophobic/ sexist/ etc that it's an act of superhuman grace to simply remain silent.

But stoic silence in the face of radioactive brain worms eats at your faith in humanity.

Well there is an alternative approach, to reaffirm your humanity:

Gleeful mocking.

The ignorant racism in question:

"wow has wifi????"

And the delightfully sarcastic over-the-top response:

@benroyce

I love it.

however those ignorant idiots will believe it as true.🤦
Can't fix wilfully stupid, I guess.

The people making this video must have had fun.

Don't feel bad, there aer literally US citizens who think Canada is a frozen wasteland (even though we are experiencing up to humidex temps of 106F) and are shocked to discover we have *microwave ovens* and smart TVs, and *gasp* internet/wifi.

@Snowshadow @benroyce I heard a story once of a couple who came up to Toronto in the middle of July in winter parkas asking where the ski hills were..

@Dianora @benroyce
I knew someone who worked as Border security and he said at least weekly during August they come across the border with skis strapped to their cars and are shocked that there is no snow on the ground.

@Dianora @benroyce
It seems top be a regular occurrance. Of course then we have the tourists who are outraged we use a different currency! Or because do not have a fireworks display to celebrate US independence day.

Sorry, Ben, I didn't mean to highjack your post. 😔

@Snowshadow @Dianora

it doesn't bother me. we all know Canada isn't real 🤪
