Yes but your answer was objectively better and I felt like I should give you another chance. :lol: I only really asked for one country but you gave the most comprehensive answer. I guess I just wanted to avoid controversy.

The Jonster said:
Is it blue and yellow?

I asked for three colors so you may answer again :)
 
Blue, yellow and green? I heard bluey was made in colours that dogs can see so I’m just basing my guess off the main colours of the show
 
The Jonster said:
Well I assume that's why he asked what colors they can see.

Is it blue and yellow?

I am so sorry but I just discovered that gray is not actually a color :hehe:
The Jonster is correct! Dogs see in blue, yellow and grey, and because grey is not a color, it is just blue and yellow.

Question 7: In 1938 the H. G. Well's novel "The War of the Worlds" was famously broadcasted on the radio as part of a Halloween episode. This novel, though a work of fiction, was widely misinterpreted as an actual alien invasion due to the broadcast being treated so seriously by the radio channel and the narrator Orson Welles. The hysteria that was caused by this could be accredited to a suspension of disbelief fueled by a lack of media literacy, which is understandable because the radio was a relatively new medium at the time and people weren't used to fictitious radio broadcasts. This phenomenon of the masses not being able to be as critical as they ought to be when new technology and artforms are concerned, returned somewhat during the release of a certain movie from the past few decades that was also widely misbelieved to be real and authentic. This movie was so revolutionary in its genre, that it spawned an entirely new genre of its own as people thought it was real and the story kind of leaked through into the real world. What is the name of the movie I'm talking about?
