TMZ and Bill O’Reilly both apparently underestimated the geniousness that is Jessica Alba when, in separate statements, both sources slammed Jessica’s mad world history skillz.

The fiasco started when Jessica Alba asked a reporter about his thoughts on Barack Obama, and when the reporter refused to give his stance, Jessica got all smart and told him to “be neutral - be Sweden about it”.  TMZ called her a “ditz” and “arrogant buffoon”, since Switzerland, not Sweden, was probably the neutral country that she was referring to.  Bill O’Reilly jumped in on the bashfest by calling Jessica “misguided” for the mistake.

Jessica, talented Wikipedia searcher that she is, decided late the other night to find a way to prove that she could possibly somehow be right, and scored big when she discovered that Sweden was a neutral country during WWII.  Ding!  She promptly took to her blog to inform the world of her surprising find.  Jessica wrote,

Last week, Mr. Bill O’Reilly and some really classy sites (i.e.TMZ) insinuated I was dumb by claiming Sweden was a neutral country. I appreciate the fact that he is a news anchor and that gossip sites are inundated with intelligent reporting, but seriously people…it’s so sad to me that you think the only neutral country during WWII was Switzerland. Check out: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sweden_during_World_War_II if you want to see what I was referring to. I appreciate the name calling and the accurate reporting. Keep it up!!

History fact of the day: Though Sweden was a neutral country during WWII, it no longer is today. Switzerland, however, currently is now.

Additional Info: Though we here at /Gossip refuse to believe that Jessica Alba has a brain, we also refuse to believe that wrinkly-face asshole Bill O’Reilly has one either. Neither of them should feel too bad about it though, since I believe that I have actually managed to misplace mine. If you see it, you know where to find me (on Wikipedia, trying to prove myself right).
