Genius of the Press XII

Another not all that difficult GOP challenge, found here from the Scottish TV website. What’s wrong with the story below?

A Bit of British Humo(u)r

A short clip from the brilliant show, Quite Interesting. The start of the discussion is in regards to cochineal bugsalthough they refer to them as beetles! (see buggirl)

זשעני פון דער פרעסע שי

דעם געניוס פון די פּרעסע איז עקסטרע ספּעציעל, ניט פֿאַר זייַן שוועריקייט, אָבער פֿאַר זייַן יבעריקייַט. איך האב געטראפען די זעלבע מעשה אויף צוויי באזונדערע מקורים, מיט פאַרשידענע בילדער – און ביידע גלײַך אומרעכט! איך קענען ימאַדזשאַן אַז עס וועט נישט נעמען לאַנג פֿאַר עמעצער צו פונט אויס פּונקט וואָס איז פאַלש מיט די מעשיות (אָנצוהערעניש, דאָרט . . . → לייענען מער: זשעני פון דער פרעסע שי

I’ve been a little behind
