Finger pointing at minorities (or majorities) and toilet humour are lower. |

The intended audience is not obvious, but I suppose a certain group of ignorant Brits might find it titillating. |

How interesting. You seem to make a distinction which escapes me completely. But I'm mathematically challenged anyway. Are the British in a majority anywhere except Britain? Or possibly, if you read the Daily Mail, not even there?
