An American tourist just said the cathedral here looks like AI, and walked away. Is the Age of Stupid getting more stupid?
The times we live in.

One word, and I'm sorry to say it. Yes. Although it does make me think of the American tourists at the time of Mark Twain too.
In The Innocents Abroad Twain satirized his fellow American "vandals" who packed hammers and chisels to Europe and the Holy Land. They used these to chip off pieces of venerable cathedrals and historical monuments to bring home as cheap souvenirs. Nothing like relics but mere souvenirs.
Now doesn't that make you think of today's tourist too then?

Like the American tourists in South America my friends encountered who were really angry because they were convinced that the locals could speak English but chose to speak Spanish just to annoy them.
Having said that, many Brits think that shouting somehow helps people understand.
