Odd One Out

Posted on May 15, 2005 Written by Diane

Vaara presents the Odd One Out game from the BBC topical comedy quiz show Have I Got News For You:

So, here’s a list of six items. Which one doesn’t belong?

  • Abortion
  • Same-sex marriage
  • A Flagstaff, Ariz. ballot measure that would prevent retail stores from expanding beyond a certain size
  • The death of Terri Schiavo
  • Silicone breast implants
  • The estate tax

  • I’ll put the answer after the break:

    Quoting Vaara:

    The answer is: Silicone breast implants.

    It’s the odd one out, because each of the other items on the list has, at one time or another, been compared to the Holocaust by right-wing extremists and/or rapacious corporations.

    • Abortion
    • Same-sex marriage
    • A Flagstaff, Ariz. ballot measure that would prevent retail stores from expanding beyond a certain size
    • The death of Terri Schiavo
    • Silicone breast implants
    • The estate tax
