It's just an aquatic animal versus several land animals.

Fish is a protein, and an animal. Thus = meat.

"One of these things is not like the others..."

All the other meats were land aniamals. Mackerel is a sea animal.

6. Yeah, you would order 'saba' or 'mackerel' in a restaurant.

Just like veal is actually beef, but small, under-exercised baby cows.

So the correct answer was mackerel, because it is an aquatic animal, not mackerel because the voice-over calls it 'not meat'.

(Either using the word as a proper noun to identify the species, OR possibly because like some Catholics, the voice-over-owner doesn't consider fish 'meat' for religious purposes.)

I was (get ready for this) turned down for a cashier's job at a small grocery chain in the Midwest because the test that they made me take came back and showed I was a risk because I knew "too much about store security".

I told the Mgr, "wait, so you're punishing me for being in DECA and caring enough to learn the assignments given to me?" He said sorry and I about cried (that was tough on a teen to hear)! I got hired at a big chain grocery, and they appreciated my skills.

Stupidity is frightened by any sign of intelligence. We've all seen it time and time again in our lives. Imagine trying to explain yourself to the guys in that video? UGH!

Michael Moore is a hero, and I wish his show was still on.
