Radio sport: ignorant caller and ignorant host (What's new?) Oct. 16, 2011

This typically pathetic exchange occurred on Radio Sport, half an hour 
after France had dispatched the gallant Welsh to the Bronze Medal 
match. We don't know what's more distressing in this little exchange: 
the abysmal ignorance of the caller, the equally abysmal ignorance of 
the host Mark Watson, or Watson's nasty, racially charged "joke" at 
the end.... 

CALLER: Mark, you know tonight's the 25th anniversary, don't you. 

MARK WATSON: Oh, is it? The anniversary of what? 

CALLER: It's the 25h anniversary of the Rainbow Warrior bombing by the French. 

MARK WATSON: Oh is it? 

CALLER: Yep, they blew it up today in 1986. 

MARK WATSON: I didn't realize that. Do you think we could get them to blow up the Waka? 

CALLER: Ha ha ha!
