The participants next watched [a video of the Canadian countryside], or one featuring pornography, horror or comedic clips from the Best Bits of Mr Bean.

Compare and contrast:

Mary Midgely (Guardian, 30-Sep-2006): During the last century Hitler, Stalin and Pol Pot found no difficulty in committing the three most monstrous crimes of all time, not only without the help of religion but in open opposition to it.

Adolf Hitler (Mein Kampf, 1925): Hence today I believe that I am acting in accordance with the will of the Almighty Creator: by defending myself against the Jew, I am fighting for the work of the Lord.

With enemies like that, who needs friends?
