All this Agrabah talk reminded me of this nugget of political ignorance across the spectrum

A recent Public Policy Polling survey found that 30% of Republicans and 19% of Democrats say they support “bombing Agrabah” – the fictional nation portrayed in the Disney movie Aladdin. This is not a surprising result. Pollsters have long known that it is easy to get survey respondents to express opinions about nonexistent legislation, such as the “Metallic Metals Act.” It is also easy to elicit survey responses that reveal widespread scientific ignorance. For example, one recent poll found that 80 percent of Americans support “mandatory labels on foods containing DNA.”

I wonder what percentage of people are just being a dick when it comes to things like that.


"Do you think women's right to vote should be revoked?"
"Would you support tripling taxes?"
"Should the US army invade Tatooine?"

"Sure." ;)
