I got a 12.

Somehow it wasn’t what I expected.

I only got 13. Y’know, I assumed I’d be better at telling the difference between a pornstar and a potato.

I got 16 right! Woo-hoo!

In the last third or so, it was actually a better strategy for me to click the answer I thought was wrong because they were getting so tricky.

Nine of the first ten, one of the last ten.

Ten points total.

I suspect some of them had two answers, so that you’d be wrong no matter which choice you clicked.

Definitely the silliest online game I’ve played recently. It made me laugh, and therefore, I approve of it.

My favorite part was the guys fucking the potato It was just so incredibly silly.

Nope. I just did it a second time from memory and got a 20/20.

You’d have got a 17 if you watched more helicopter porn.

I went on a tear for about 3 years, and now have over twenty of the damn things - but haven’t worn more than two or three (the ones that are now on their less/non-offensive subsite) in public. I’m considering making the others into an offensive quilt.
