    If the answer is: *“They don’t know the difference between 1.6 billion and 16 million”,* is the question: *“How do you know this BBC department has not one member of staff who has passed a maths or science class in their entire their life?”?*

      @@maniswolftoman Oh boo hoo. Your generation messed up the entire market. Our generation has to pay for your pension and hospital stays. Due to how your generation handled the economy, there is no money to pay for you. And your generation raised us. So anything you have to complain about us, comes back to your generation. But your generation is sooooooo good at deflecting blame away from themselves that this will probably go over your head.

      @@paulliversidge7140 I'm not sure you need to do any maths to copy a number from the thumbnail, or from the video content for that matter.. Also, you missed an apostrophe in "someone's" so your English isn't as great as you think it is. Ultimately we all make typos and we can all edit our comments, MTW could also edited their video title if they wanted but then we wouldn't be here complaining and feeding the algorithm.

    • @neekfenwick
      @neekfenwick 8 місяців тому +2

      Yes, my normal answer in this situation is that it's a deliberate error to encourage clicks because it's obviously wrong and gives the clickee a seratonin boost to feel like they're right, but in this case that falls flat, it's just a shit error :)

      @@germansnowman yes that is a bit of a smoking gun. On reconsidering, I think it might have been a genuine attempt at click baiting, when the title says one thing but the thumbnail (from the show) says another), so maybe they are taking that deliberate mistake and running with it, if the deliberate mistake was made in the title then why not repeat it in the description? As usual with these things, we will probably never know. Thanks for chiming in, though :)

    One of the things that kills me about this point in panel show history is the constant reference to FIFA corruption...here we are so many years on and has FIFA been held accountable? Nope.
    Like ol' blighty itself, it's a prime example of how tradition seems to take precedent over eliminating the avenues by which *some* of us compulsively exploit good will; if that's what our constant turning of a blind eye to blatant villainy is supposed to be.
