Thanks for the laugh. I particularly liked the star wars question.

I think it's real, but they obviously left out the people with correct answers. How many smart people to dumb people they found is anyone's guess. It probably depends heavily on what city they were in.

yes, the answers were real but they were obviously filtered for the dumb ones....no need to point it out really, it's obvious.

There were a lot of illegal immigrants in there. Also, you could go to any country and pick 25 morons off the street rather easily. 9 out of 10 people are too caught up onto their own lives to know what is happening outside of their own neighborhood.

I didn't sense that many, if any, were illegal immigrants by the accents used. They seemed "home grown" to me.

It would have been interesting to find out how many were high school graduates.

I'm not going to deny that 90% of Americans are clueless. But, editing has a part to do with it. My father ran into one of the Rick Mercer "Talking with Americans" bits. Being somewhat of a Canuckophile and generally aware, he knew everything and spoiled his punchline. Dad asked the producer, "gonna use any of that". "Of course not". I assume they found the dolt they were looking for down the line.

Tony Blair is Linda Blair's brother. That's priceless. A triangle has one side is pretty good too. Palestinians, Israelis, which one is throwing the rocks? Charming.

A british kid thought George Bush was the prime minister of his country. That is frightening.

That show is hilarious. Obviously edited, but still hilarious. I remember one episode where they talked to some university professors and elected officials and got some gloriously ignorant responses. Most Americans just don't know jack about Canada. I lived there for a year and I've already almost forgotten Canada exists. It's forgettable like that. :lol:

My dad left me when I was 13. He was on top of the world and I loved him. He directed the Apollo Moon landings radar at Ryan Aeronautical. Then he went crazy. The US is going down, alright. I've known it for a long long time.
