I remember growing up that there were certain foundational institutions of truth that you could always count on.
Wikipedia was a source you could trust with zero hesitation.
You knew the New York Times was going to give you the news without any additional BS.
You knew that ESPN was going to give you sports without any additional BS.
And you knew that the Guinness Book of World Records?
Well if someone made it into the GBWR, that means that they accomplished something truly special.
Getting into the Guinness Book of World Records used to mean something.
It used to be an accomplishment that most folks could only ever dream about.
I mean what the actual fuck are we even doing here, Guinness?
You shouldn’t be able to just ad lib your way to a world record.
Put me in the book, Guinness!
Fact of the matter is that this country used to be great.
But we were only ever as great as the Guinness Book of World Records allowed us to be.
Well then that’s where our country goes as well.
It’s time to knock off the nonsense and make the GBWR great again.
