Nearly 400,000 people in England and Wales claim to follow the "Jedi" religion, according to the latest U.K. census. As if we needed any further proof that the world is totally f*cked.
The only possible bright spot in this is the possibility that these people aren't all drooling fanboys. The initial email calling on people to claim "Jedi" as their religion suggested that respondents could do so either to show their love of Star Wars, "or just to annoy people."
I'm really praying for the latter.
