Most retarded theory ever. Does the person who originally posted this know even the least bit of history?

Because World War 2 ended in a movie theater, everybody lends greater significance to pop culture, hence why seemingly everybody has Abed-level knowledge of movies and TV.

First, WW2 didn't end in Germany. The Japanese still fought for 3 more months. Second, since Hitler actually died in a bunker, wouldn't this logic imply that we'd all have fantastic knowledge of bunker construction and use? Lincoln died in a theater, so shouldn't we all be experts on plays of the 19th century? Kennedy was killed in the streets of Dallas. Shouldn't we all know the streets of Dallas like the back of our hand?

Likewise, because America won World War 2 in one concentrated act of hyperviolent slaughter, Americans as a whole are more desensitized to that sort of thing.

As opposed to how we won WW2 in two concentrated acts of slaughter on a scale that makes the ending to IB look like child's play?
