+184 You saw Nelson Mandela on TV during the World Cup and thought, "Hey, he looks kinda like Morgan Freeman in Invictus!" before realizing how stupid that was, amirite?

No, that's dumb. Although I do live here so I've always known who he is.

I'm trying to think what show that was from where a guy was at somebody's house and pointed to a picture of Nelson Mandela and said hey you know Morgan Freeman?

Americans are stupid :/

I'm American and I know how to distinguish Nelson Mandela from Morgan Freeman. Don't stereotype an entire nation because a large portion of us are close-minded.

Off course not all americans would be that stupid, but I can't picture anyone else than an american thinking something like this.

I know, and I agree with that. But it's terribly unfair to the few of us that actually know a few things.

Yes, it must be quite annoying. People are making too much of a habbit out of insulting/making fun of americans. But don't trust what you see on the internet to be an accurate reflection of how the world really looks at americans.

"me" kinda already said this, but I'd dare say only an american would see Nelson Mandela and think "Hey, that looks like Morgan Freeman!"

Do you disagree that they look even slightly alike?

by Anonymous 13 years ago

They do look alike, that's not the deal. It's just that Nelson Mandela is such an important historical person that you should already know what he looks like anyway. If anything you should look at Morgan Freeman and think "Hey, that looks like Nelson Mandela"

Oh okay I see what you mean. Morgan Freeman should be compared to Nelson Mandela rather than Nelson Mandela to Morgan Freeman.

Why are you guys making it sound like such a horrible and stupid thing to say, you've never said "hey so and so looks like so and so!"

The only Invictus I know is a poem. Taught to me by a teacher who took homeless, formerly-mentally-insane people into her college dorm.
