Yeah? The point of the video is to say, "Hey, Americans are Stoopid!"

My point is that yeah sure some Americans are stupid, but they could have done this in Sidney and gotten the same thing results. And by editing I obviously meant that they edited out all the people who answered correctly and just chose the retards for shock value.. geezus

Perhaps I'm overreacting, but I swear, if this guy came up to me, I'd kick him square in the nuts! Even if you don't know all the answers, it should be clear as daylight to anyone with an IQ of over 100 what his intensions are: he is a guy with a british accent and a camera crew asking Americans trivia questions. It should be pretty obvious to any intelligent interviewee that he is trying to use editing to show Americans as dumb and ignorant. In fact, not only would I kick his ass if he came up to me, I'd be surprised if no one did.

These are actually more amusing when they show people getting them right sometimes.

There are tons of uninformed and unaware Americans who have no problem sharing their uninformed opinions...so what?

^Yes. Leno doesn't pretend to be better than the people he interviews. This guy is just a jackass. I'll take a dumbass over a jackass any day.

^^I felt the same way.

Of course it is, because Leno's audience is mainly American. When Leno does it, he is showing stupid Americans to other Americans. His message is "look at all these dumb ignorant individuals." The people in that video were British and clearly had a message of "look at how stupid Americans (as a people) are." In fact they said so in the beginning of the video.

talking of an ignorant person, IcedAlexV is from the Ukraine (meaning he isn't a seppo, you douchebag).

This video is fucking retarded. Clearly from some comedy show or another, but the "journalist" is a very annoying cunt.

Aww, come now. It salves their poor egos and lets them feel like their otherwise small, regional nation is actually superior because they are supposedly smarter than the global juggernaut.

^ I don't know, I think this is pretty typical. Anyone ever watched Jaywalking on The Tonight Show. (plus Leno's American)

On a side note, please sign this petition to outlaw dihydrogen monoxide. So far over 1 million Americans have taken action to ban this substance.

1. Dihydrogen monoxide is a major component of acid rain.
2. If ingested, it can cause excessive sweating and vomiting.
3. In its gaseous state, it can cause severe burns.
4. It is a major factor in soil erosion.
5. Accidental inhalation can be fatal.
6. It decreases the effectiveness of automobile brakes.
7. It has been found in tumors of terminal cancer patients.

do you believe internet petitions accomplish anything?

^ No. But if you're asking...Don't worry, banning dihydrogen monoxide was put on the floor of Congress in the 1990s I believe to ban the substance.

Yeah, I could go to whatever city those guys were from and interview 50 yobs about the same questions and they'd have no clue.
