It's satire of an actual statement from a Minister who said that there was 'no environmental damage' because it happened too far offshore.

thank you, my memory is hazy but I do recall it was grounded in some manner by something that was actually stated.

turns out I was right, so I suppose the lesson I've learned here is to trust my memory over the random nerd-snipe.

You were not right, the sibling comment similarly clearly demonstrates that the skit is satire, not an actual conversation (being inspired by a single comment from a real politician does not make something a "conversation [that] actually happened, this video is just a recreation of it"). Again, please stop trying to save face and just learn from your mistake.

The poster pointed it out to correct you, stop it.

The details may have not been exactly correct, but the point still stands and your nerd sniping is not useful here, especially with the haughtiness mixed in.

Go alpha somewhere else.
