Well, if anything, we've established that more then likely it's not Americans in that photo, so were at least smarter then the dumbass that captioned that LOL
TBH, that plug looks most like the old style power plug used on the London Metro (according to the pic on wiki article above) but obviously that can't be right. Unless that's a subway...
U.K. Walsall Gauge plug Unlike the standard BS 1363 plugs found in the U.K., the earth pin is on a horizontal axis and the live and neutral pins on a vertical axis. This style of plug/socket was used by the BBC, and is still in use on parts of the London Underground for low voltage power supply.
I wouldn't be able to say about the London Metro XD Never been to London, it's only around 400 miles from where I live, so it probably wouldn't take me too long to get there if I really wanted >_> From what I understand, the London Metro is a subway system, connecting most/all of London's main train stations.
But that's the sort of plug I have in my house anyway. XD
Edit: Lots of replies >_>

Bottom right looks like a match to me.
The plug on the right of that picture looks about right to me too XD
Still never seen one XD Must've died out a while ago and only very rarely used now. Can't say I know much about plugs >_>

Deep Thoughts, By Jack Handy:
"It takes a big man to cry, but it takes a bigger man to laugh at that man."
"One thing kids like is to be tricked. For instance, I was going to take my little nephew to Disneyland, but instead I drove him to an old burned-out warehouse. "Oh, no," I said. "Disneyland burned down." He cried and cried, but I think that deep down, he thought it was a pretty good joke.I started to drive over to the real Disneyland, but it was getting pretty late."
"Maybe in order to understand mankind, we have to look at the word itself: "Mankind". Basically, it's made up of two separate words - "mank" and "ind". What do these words mean? It's a mystery, and that's why so is mankind."
"To me, boxing is like a ballet, except there's no music, no choreography, and the dancers hit each other."

One of my favorite quotes ever was made by my friend. It was about that Gatorade commerical where peyton manning, derek jeter, and various other atheletes heads were put on kids bodies while they were playing random sports. One of those athletes being a female, my friend said (note: who is a girl)
"Who the *** is this ***? Girls don't play sports! She should just stop now, suck their ***, and make them a pie!"
I effing died laughing because this completely caught me off guard.
That could not have been true...I refuse to believe people are that stupid. :/
its not hard to ask a few hundred people and get enough idiots to make a kick *** clip.
Yeah that's what they did, could have done it in any other country for sure :p But still finding such HELP I AM TRAPPED IN 2006 PLEASE SEND A TIME MACHINE people is good challenge.
