Assumptions...

Why is it that just because you where born in a certain place people think you should know, be interested or at least heard of something related to its "culture"?

A few days ago I was talking with some friends at my work, I don't know why they started to talk about a show or comedians by the name "Las Lavanderas" and I didn't know about them, I never watched the show or even heard the name of it, or at least I don't remember it.

My friends didn't believed me that I had never seen that show, and where questioning me if I was serious when I said that, I was dead serious, I have never watched that show and I don't care if I never watch it, I am not fond of Mexican comedy. The "discussion" lasted at least 10 minutes and they didn't believe me that I have never watched that show, they showed me some images and a video about them.

At some point one of my friends said that it wasn't possible to not know about it since it "it is so famous", that I at least should have watched them, or heard about them, I said that I don't watch tv and my friend said that it it was impossible, that just because I live in this city I should have at least heard of it, to which I responded that I wasn't joking, I don't know what you are talking about, the "discussion" ended there, but they where somewhat surprised because I have never seen a show. People act stupid sometimes (most of the times) :P
