This conversation will hurt your brain.
QVC is not typically the go-to place for spirited discussions about the mysteries and marvels of space, but this week host Shawn Killinger and fashion designer Isaac Mizrahi turned it into one.
Killinger was presenting a "Cherry Blossom Print Boyfriend Cardigan" design by Mizrahi which she thinks looks like the Earth "when you're a bazillion miles away from the planet moon."
And from this point forward we realize our education system has failed us, at least in the science department.
"From the planet moon
" repeats Mizrahi.
"Isn't the moon a star?" she asks, questioning herself.
"No the moon is a planet darling," he says, but Killinger isn't so sure anymore.
"The sun is a star. Is the moon really a planet?" She wonders.
It goes on like this for while. They get people to Google it for them off camera, and Killinger makes a joke about having a blonde moment.
Maybe QVC can book Neil deGrasse Tyson next week to set everyone straight, and while he's at it, pitch his own line of celestial vests and ties.

I’m starting to think that *Starship Troopers* had some good ideas.
[The book, not the movie.]

On the bright side, if those two moved from America to Pakistan the average IQ in both countries would go up.

That was funny. You could re-do that entire scene effectively with Harold and Kumar sitting in on an overstuffed couch, toking a spliff staring at a test pattern on TV.You could!

But they’re prime candidates for reality shows.

From the comments -—
Well, I believe that the moon is a star, and I don’t listen to what any of those commie scientists have to say. Thus, to respect my beliefs, all schools should ‘teach the controversy.’

That was extra stoopid (intended) but I’m more concerned with who in the world was actually WATCHING the program?? And of THOSE people, who NOTICED the problem??!
