i don't normally post, but there are people who are walking amongst us who have the ability to vote and it is disturbing.

boing boing.net - sheri shephard of "the view"

The View co-host Sherri Shephard told her other co-hosts that she does not believe in the theory of evolution. Whoopi Goldberg then asked her if she thought the world was flat. Here's the transcript of the conversation that followed.

WHOOPI GOLDBERG: Is the world flat?

SHERRI SHEPHERD: Is the world flat? (laughter)

GOLDBERG: Yes.

SHEPHERD: …I Don’t know.

GOLDBERG: What do you think?

SHEPHERD: I… I never thought about it, Whoopi. Is the world flat? I never thought about it.

BARBARA WALTERS: You’ve never thought about whether the world was round or flat?

SHEPHERD: I tell you what I’ve thought about. How I’m going to feed my child–

WALTERS: Well you can do both.

SHEPERD: …how I’m going to take care of my family. The world, is the world flat has never entered into, like that has not been an important thing to me.

ELIZABETH HASSELBECK: You’ll teach your son, Jeffery, right?

SHEPHERD: If my son, Jeffery, asks me ‘is the world flat,’ I guess I would go…

JOY BEHAR: You know, didn’t some person already work this question out? I mean, why are we doing this again? (laughter, applause)

It's pretty nuts that she doesn't know, but she brings up a good point. Knowing whether the world is flat or round is a useless fact and unnecessary in everyday life.

There are lots of facts that are not needed in everyday life that are still widely known. The lack of practical use isn't an excuse for not knowing something any idiot would know.

well she felt that it would take too much mental energy from her childrearing that she couldn't dedicate any time to it. omfg

I beg to differ, here is why its important: If somebody asks you whether the world is flat or not you wont look like a complete retard.

she seemed to have an opinion on evolution but it stands to reason she doesn't know [censored] about that either.

As I said when this was first posted on OOT: I never thought The View could be as bad as people said it was until I saw this.
