        Seymour’s idiotic comment is real, but the article you linked is satire playing off it.

        A lot of the internationals here seem to be taking the article at face value

        I was thinking the whole time going through the list that it was satire but then I looked up the website and it appears to be a serious website. They can’t actually be serious though right ???
