this is, infact, set up. The statistics are available on MSN or google. I remmember I looked at them a few months ago and laughed but it was not this bad. Maybe 20 percent weren't sure EXECTLY where Iraq is but they knew it was in the Middle East, etc. Indeed, geography isn't really a big thing in the state's education but it is not so much relevant as history for example, something you gotta take alot. |

nope, it's all real. Grab both seasons of the show if you think i'm joking ;)
Other questions i remember this guy asking randoms on the street:
"what countries start with the letter U?"
a few people answered Uruguay, most people couldn't answer, some classic reactions when the presenter said "what about the united states?" (i wouldn't have got that one :p )
he also asked "what does KFC stand for?" on the streets of Kentucky, people got this wrong :p
"If caught what do you think the US government should do to Bin Laden, a) public execution
b) slowly lower him into a vat of acid
c) etc
there are hundreds of these, none of it's fake. but before you get all sensetive they were taking the piss out of Aussies as well ;) |

yeah, isnt it funny to see a bunch of intelligent, rational & supposedly open-minded ppl suddenly denounce something as fake when they havent got the smallest shred of evidence? :stongue:

ok you didn't get what I said.
Remmember that chart that I think Andrew pasted on the previous page? Ok remmeber there was a margin of idiots in every country. This is just that margin. I met people around the world who were just as dumb or dumber than these retards. However, I don't think we're in grave danger or anything of that nature.
Like I said geography is not important in the US, I'm a big history and geography fan but I could see why history is MUCH more important in schools than geo. |

LOL prove me wrong :) where's the proof that they weren't paid 20 bucks to act stupid? Faking news isn't uncommon if you didn't know hehe
someome previously mentioned that there's not much of a need for the avarage Joe to care about the rest of the world. and if by "care" you mean outside of geography, you're way off. |

Well, America still had a larger "margin of dumb ppl" than the other countries, even when it came to question concerning America more than any other country (such as where is america or how many ppl lives in america). :rolleyes:
I'm not saying Americans are stupid or anything, but this is certainly concerning. |

where america is question is indeed kinda idiot proof but the question about it's population is a stupid one to ask cause census says one thing, and estimates say another. but it is, trully concerning that such easy questions were gotten wrong. |

Of course it is concerning if the majority of americans don't know how many people live in thier nation than we are ed! I mean how hard can it be to remember that we have a pop of 294mil? Whats even sader is that I think some American TA's don't know any better. :sadgreen: |

Considering the alternatives were:
-Between 10 million and 50 million
-Between 150 million and 350 million
-Between 500 million and 750 million
-Between 1 billion and 2 billion
-I Don’t Know
I don't think there could have been any missunderstanding... |
