Branson Beats Jesus

[I-Hate-Hulse]

In a recent poll conducted in London - Richard Branson placed higher than Jesus himself, as a person whom parents would want their children to consider as a role model:

The Virgin Group boss placed second in a poll of Britons asked who their children should look up to. Jesus came third and a family member topped the list.

I find it rather cool that Hank Scorpio has infiltrated the minds of British parents....



Hank Scorpio: By the way, Homer, what's your least favorite country, Italy or France?
Homer: France.
Hank adjusts a giant laser
Hank Scorpio: Heh heh. Nobody ever says Italy.

I guess Jesus is a religious answer and subject to more controversial values than just intelligence. But Branson over MLK and Churchill? Those are some freaking dumb parents.

The poll is British, so expecting MLK to be up there is a little silly. Late top ten seems about right.

Still surprising to see Branson so high though. Surprising to see Jesus so high as well really.

Look up to an ambitious, philanthropic business man who is a good human being or a poor cult leader who is a good human being? ... easy choice.

I was just in Tortolla and saw his island. I am not surprised.

I am outraged. Who wants to burn all their Richard Branson records with me!?
