Default Apples and Oranges

So, let me start this off with a little backstory:

Last night, I posted on Facebook about how much I was enjoying Skyward Sword. Almost right away, an apparently dense friend commented, stating that Skyrim was better. Of course I laughed, replying "apples and oranges lol". He then attempted to argue with me, and eventually turned it into a console war. (I didn't fight back, cause it wasn't worth my time)
Ridiculous comparisons like this really grind my gears. Yes, they're both games, and yes, they're both new, but that's about as far as it goes (in my mind, at least). Some people are just so silly.

That being said, what's the most ridiculous comparison you've ever heard? This doesn't just go for games. It may be comparing an animal to a person, a small event to a tragedy, etc.

Keep it within the rules, too. That'd be nice.

Comparing a video game forum's "government" to the civil rights movement.

Once, the same thing happened to me before Skyward Sword was released, I was chatting with my friends and telling them how wonderful Skyward Sword is looking in the trailers, and then all of a sudden a guy from the nearby class joined us and started bashing SS and telling us how Uncharted 3 was superior to SS, and he said that the game looks like a PS1 game, I ofcourse did not respond and ignored him, because I wasn't ready for a console war.

I hate it when those disgusting fanboys bash other things, just because they don't own them, Losers.

Comparing this:


To this:


Probably the stupidest comparison ever, Two Bands with COMPLETELY different sounds yet people compare the two just because they wear masks. Two Completly different sides of the spectrum.

PS i love them both equally.

The worst comparison I have ever been told was Pokemon to (I think it was yoghurt).

I don't remember what the guy said, actually, I don't think he realised what he had just said. I was 9 and I'm pretty sure I just got told I was too old for Pokemon.

Comparing Kurtiss to Hitler.
Danger used to call him the fuhrer all the time back when he wasn't all crazy and hated me and called me names etc.

Comparing Mario Kart to racing games. Nintendo fans insist on doing that all the time.

In what sense?

Do you mean comparing it to the racing genre in general?

Or by comparing it to racers like Gran Turismo?

If the latter, I agree.
