"The story so far: In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move."

Using that instead of the quote from the first book that it itself was quoting is, honestly, a very Douglass Adams move.
I don't think many people want to feel the need to boo humanity.
Our actions and history just provide precious little to cheer for.
Maybe that would be a good starting point. If we, as a species decided to end homelessness (and I'm sorry this needs to be stated, but with homes, not mass murder) for example, that might start to earn some good will, some pride for humans in humans caring for one another.
Until then, yeah, boos and rotten produce are an appropriate review.

Um... yea it needs to be stated.
It was me. I go to the planetarium to escape this planet. I have enough of it the rest of my life.
So show me something else. Or I'll boo.
This is how I feel, except watching Star Trek
(I don’t like the Earth episodes. At all.)
