07.09.09 EVEN FOR FOX NEWS, THIS IS BAD

The charming empty vessels at “Fox and Friends” recently discussed a study that claimed married couples are less likely to develop dementia than aging single people.  However, the study was conducted in Finland and Sweden, and as Brian Kilmeade will tell you, the pure genes of the Nordic races means the findings don’t apply to America’s mongrel society.

His meandering screed is so incoherent and unfounded and stupefying and galactically idiotic that I forced myself to transcribe it.  Here’s the gist of it, minus an incredulous interjection from Gretchen Carlson:

We, uh… We’re uh… We keep marrying other species and ethnics and uhhh… The Swedes have pure genes, because they marry other Swedes.  That’s their role.  Finland, Finns marry other Finns, so they have a pure society.  In America, we marry everybody.  So we marry Italians, Irish, so that [study] does not apply to us.

Thanks, white man from the 19th century! Although to be fair, in response, Hitler was like, “Yeah, totally.”

He may be right, I married a mexican and my mom said I was insane.

When the blonde chick on Fox and Fuckups is the voice of reason, you know you’ve got way off into crazytown.

We’re marrying other species? Like goats, or what?

I love at the 45 second mark when a cameraman starts to whistle “If I only Had a brain”…nice touch

I guess Kilmeade isn’t married, because his dementia is full blown.

Danger Guerrero says:

He does have a point. Now if there was just some be-all, end-all plan to ensure that that pure, genetically superior race comes to fruition. Some sort “final solution”, if you will.

I bet this guy practiced his screed a few times by reciting it to his dalmatian.

So, if I marry Halle Berry or Salma Hayek, I’ll be unhappy.

There you have it: The Irish and The Italians are impure.
It’s science!

Guinny_Ire says:

What he’s poorly attempting to say is the genetics of the population of those countries had a narrower definition than the United States. Our country’s genetic pool represents the entire world, so what may be the case in those two countries may not be the case here. ’nuff said.

And the Italians are prone to ragin’ hypospadia. They just can’t win today.

Do not goggle hyposadia.

dont google it either.

CrabApple says:

Every moron that has taken a biology coarse knows that genetic diversity is advantageous.

Purebred dogs live like for 18 hours before they catch a cold and die and mutts can live for 15 years. They can eat their own shit and live on it. In fact I am going to start a dog food company called “Kibble and shits” and you basically just feed your dog a big bag shit.

Kilmeade really struggled to explain that. He should write a book about it, titled “My Struggle”. Or in German, “Mein Kampf.”

Guinny: So he’s arguing that marriage drives you crazy? How very unFOX like.

Upstate Underdog says:

I married an Italian girl to keep the Italian-American society pure, so I guess that study does apply to me. The drawback is that my daughters will one day have mustaches.

Dorcus Collection says:

Hmmm, I married a Swede,and I’m not a Swede. Ergo, fsck you, dumbshit.

BM says:

whoa, Fox News is racist?

July 9th, 2009 at 3:29 pm
Dorcus Collection says:

…although in retrospect, expecting FOX to understand science might be a little like expecting a donkey to drive a stick shift. Not likely, but it’d be cool if it actually happened.

That’s why the oldest brother marries the oldest sister in my family. Gotta keep the genes pure.

Shut up Perez. Oh wait wrong site.

no homo i saw Kilmeade at the gym. with a bluetooth headset and all.

Guinny_Ire says:

TwT, no he’s arguing that our gene pool is more diverse than the gene pools in the study. Marriage does drive you crazy, dementia is your way out w/out the divorce.

Marmalard's Revenge says:

“TwT, no he’s arguing that our gene pool is more diverse than the gene pools in the study.”

WTF does the gene pool have to do with anything, though? The report was about how marriage makes you live longer, and Kildunce is all, “Well, if you’re not mixing the races, sure!”

Seriously, WTF?

Hahaha whistling if i only had a brain! that was awesome.

I liked the part where she gave him the “on-air WTF” look.

So, does this person actually think people of other races or a different species? Did I hear that right?
