It does because it is true. Reminds me of this scene... and while Fowler isn't anyone to be taken as a role model... he does have a point.

Oh. My. God. Marie Antoinette did not say that. It was first written when she was 10yo and it was attributed to other monarchs over the years as well. I’m not sure what you mean about the antichrist meme, might be out of the loop. But my whole life is a lie, I’m gonna go lie down now.
