Line 101:
*** Kentucky wishes to remind you that although Colonel Sanders decided to patent his recipe here we give zero shits about KFC. Seriously, we're tired of hearing about it.
*** Kentucky also wishes to remind you that we [[Truth in Television|love]] hearing about how we're all hicks who have no teeth and practice incest. [[Never Heard That One Before|These jokes are always delightfully refreshing to hear.]]
*** Never confuse
** NEVER say to someone from Illinois that you think their state's name is pronounced "Illinoise." And if they're from Springfield, you will unleash a towering fury if you tell them you always thought Chicago was the state capital.
** [[Africa]] isn't a country. Stop saying it.
Line 145:
* Mistaking the Italian language for the [[Spanish Language]] and vice versa is terribly annoying for many Italian/Spanish speakers, no matter how similar the languages actually are.
** Same thing with Portuguese.
* Don't raise only your middle and index finger while keeping your palm to yourself in the presence of an English person. That's the equivalent of [[Flipping the Bird|giving them the middle finger only]], and they don't like it ''at all''. Don't raise
* Any variation on "Why is there a BLACK Entertainment Television but not a WHITE Entertainment Television?"
* It's probably not a good idea to yell [[Godwin's Law|"Heil Hitler!"]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sHsUi2Hu4Ug at a Jew from Israel who supports national health care]. Or mock him for complaining about an $8,000 hospital bill. [[Epic Fail|While wearing an Israeli Defense Force t-shirt]].
Line 211:
* Jesus didn't like people selling stuff in holy temples. [[Understatement|He didn't like that very much at all]].
* The Roman Noblewoman Lucretia was raped by a [[Royal Brat|local Etruscan prince]]. Whereupon she [[Honor Before Reason|committed suicide]]. The citizens of Rome were so angry at this that they revolted and ran the prince out of town. After this they went on to destroy the Etruscan civilization and went from their to found [[The Empire]].
* ''[[The Bible/Source/Judges#19|Judges]]'' includes the story of a woman who was [[Rape Is a Special Kind of Evil|gang-raped]] and murdered while her husband slept. The husband took the body home, [[Squick|cut it into 12 pieces]] and sent them around the country to publicise the crime. The result was an army marching on the land - and when the inhabitants refused to hand over the perpetrators they killed everyone, burned the city and several nearby towns, and vowed never to let their daughters marry anyone from that tribe.
== Human Health and Sexuality ==
Line 298:
** Calling Edward a fag should probably be a worse [[Berserk Button]] for gay people than for ''Twilight'' fans.
*** Also, fans who assume that haters are "hopelessly retarded" and obviously cannot comprehend how "awesome" ''Twilight'' is are either trolls or are very, very, very naive. And they will be attacked regardless.
* Don't ''ever'' say anything about [[Justin Bieber]] unless it's an elaborate
* The kid from the ''Greatest Freakout Ever'' YouTube videos has quite a few of these - mainly having his sexuality questioned in any way, being betrayed in an online game, oh yeah, and losing his ''[[World of Warcraft]]'' account. And once you've hit his [[Berserk Button]], who knows what he'll break next.
* [https://web.archive.org/web/20130704013835/http://redwing.hutman.net/~mreed/warriorshtm/swarm.htm The Swarm] is a web forum where everyone has the same unexpected [[Berserk Button]].
