Sarah Vine railed at the ‘stupid world’ and everyone enjoyed her glorious self-own
This could be our favourite Sarah Vine tweet for at least a week, after she took issue with people criticising Disney for casting Jack Whitehall as its first lead gay character.
If you follow this to its logical conclusion, only a drug addict can play a drug addict, only boxer can play a boxer, only an actual Greek deity can play Thor. The world just got a tiny bit more stupid. https://t.co/DaJdMPEe40

Except, er, as no end of people enjoyed pointing out, it wasn’t only the rest of the world that was apparently a tiny bit more stupid today.

Surely only a Norse deity could play Thor. Getting your mythologies mixed up there

The Times hack Sarah Vine thinks that Thor is a Greek deity. The world just got a tiny bit more stupid, that's for sure. https://t.co/ZsT4morjIE

We even have one of the days of the week named after Thor. School kids have known he is a Norse god, not a greek one since Marvel comics revived interest in him in the early 1960s. Marvel blockbusters mean almost everyone knows he's not a Greek god. Except for Mrs Michael Gove. https://t.co/vVRLQn9Yu0
