Fact Checkers

Now you all know I am a supremely intelligent dog (the Dweeb not so much) and while watching some episodes of a TV series called "Rome" Mom "I" noticed some blatantly incorrect facts. Now this series was based on the Roman Empire in 49BC - that date is important because in many of the episodes you see a variety of birds including cockatiels and cockatoos - all Australian birds and as WE ALL KNOW  Australia wasn't even discovered until the late 1700's AD - so there is NO WAY they could of had Aussie birds in Rome during that time. They also show a hyacinth (blue) macaw which is native to the Amazon - a continents also not discovered or explored by the Romans in 49BC. In fact is wasn't until 1492 AD when the Spanish arrived that is became known.  Talk about a bird brained mistake!   I think these TV shows should hire ME as a fact checker for them :) :)

  9. You are right, I don't know what the media is coming to these days. I have read several news reports on the laptop with misspellings, that would have been unheard of a few years ago.

  18. Well, they are just that TV shows. If it was a serious documentary, it would be pretty bad but the average show these days isn't made all that well we think.

  21. That's telling them Reilly! Now you know why mom won't watch shows filmed in Chicago like Chicago Fire. She knows they can't possibly be where they are and call places by the wrong name so she just doesn't watch. Love Dolly
