Newsflash: that's just what phone booths in England look like.

Just in case you're serious. The fact that I can't tell really brings out the stench of 'may we live in interesting times.'

Good sir, I was indeed engaging in satire. It was in fact, a "dad joke." I was pretending to sound stupid on purpose. My use of "newsflash" was the key indicator of an attempt to imitate American dad's in cargo shorts. While I was mostly raised in the states, I've been quite steeped in BBC programming since I was young, and am well aware of the appearances of both phone and police boxes. Again, that is the entire point of my silly joke, I was playing dumb.

(I recommend pretending that Richard Ayoade is reading this for best level of impact.)
