More people bought bananas than Ferraris. We can compare shit like this all day. https://t.co/tOxkFDk33j

That’s because one is full of self-absorbed entitled kids who thinks the world revolves around them. And the other is Love Island.

to be fair, Love Island probably encourage ethnic minorities to apply.

I think it means we're becoming so hysterical we're inventing false comparisons for things. https://t.co/T9h8OFRZ9C

More people applied to go on a free TV show than applied to pay 30k to go to Oxford and study quantum mathematics, nah really? https://t.co/Tw6YX4i7ft

Love Island:
✅ Shagging encouraged
✅ Three month free holiday
✅ Lucrative protein powder contract after completion

Oxbridge:
❌ Shagging frowned upon as improper
❌ Three years paying to live in drizzle
❌ Have to get a job as a Nerd afterwards

Easy choice innit

A reminder that it doesn’t cost 28 grand to go on Love Island https://t.co/BB42IwrKsV

Over 150,000 applied to be on #LoveIsland this year. The University of Cambridge received 17,171 applicants. Oxford received 19,400. Which means that statistically a place on #LoveIsland is more competitive than Oxbridge.

Ok, so I’m going to need you to walk me through the detail of why you found those things comparable and what you think the significance is. pic.twitter.com/uu7OHYXBld

And just in case you were wondering, Dan Walker had a little clarification to add. No he didn’t go to Oxford or Cambridge, and no (we presume) he hasn’t applied to be on Love Island.

You come on here… with your valid points… giving it the big one 👏🏻
People now seem to be assuming I am the guardian of the gates of Oxbridge. I had no hope of getting in there or on Love Island 😂
I went to @sheffielduni and loved it 😊 https://t.co/xa3vCLkRKx
