Answering it seriously? No, I don't have a problem either. Being outright condescending and making the interviewer, who had been nothing but courteous to her, look (and probably feel) foolish? This I object to. If she wanted to make a point, that's fine, but when you agree to be interviewed by a group who appaently has a routine (albeit very silly) final question and refuse to take it with a grain of salt, that's damn rude.

Not to mention hypocritical. It was pretty clear this was meant to by a funny -- no one was actually initiating her into the illegal slave trade or monkey As I tried to point out in my entry, she's dealt with some pretty apalling subjects with even more levity.

As for her research -- it's not that her fantasy has become unbelievable or flawed, it's that she's screwing up the mundane details, like age. If she wants to research moths for a week, I say fine, but I have little respect for her ability to keep her own facts straight.
