If I went up to people in my own city I know I would get the same answers.
Look at your country in the mirror.

This is a small reason why I stay out of the voting booth it's all pointless.

1. This is why we need politics out of our education.

5. ??????????????

[dennysp]

2. No!!!! No no no no no no no no NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

How can this BE???? This was a joke, right? Oh, I want to pack my bags and take a trip down DENIAL!!! My 7-year-old daughter has a globe, and we play find this or that on it. How can these people be so clueless? What's happened to the level of education in our country? What are people WATCHING on TV? ARGHHHHHHH!!!!!

I definitely don't want my child to grow up to be "NORMAL".

3. It's an old clip of a comedy show, been circulating for a while. But the answers are unscripted. eom

4. Runs like Jay Leno's little skit

Ironically as they are asking the country starting with a U, I slipped up. Do'h. Everyone has their stupid moments. They're in Britain, and first one I thought Ukraine. Well at least I could name one. Many couldn't :P

Hopefully we won't have Palin going around assuming North America is a country.

7. "Everyone has their stupid moments."

Not like this.

How did these people, these U.S. citizens get out of high school or even elementary school?

Incredible, just fucking incredible!

[mlevans]

10. C'mon, lets cut them some slack...

I mean seriously, there is so much information in the world these days; how can we expect these people to know all of it? (Mix with sarcasm until well seasoned, then stir briskly)

6. ..........

[Duppers]

8. and they don't seem that ashamed of themselves

or even embarrassed.

This ignorance is born of apathy and stupidity. :banghead:

[WhoIsNumberNone]

9. I need to point something out here...

Whenever you see a bit like this- whether it's Jay Leno or Howard Stern or the BBC- they cherry pick the responses. There is not a single question they asked that I couldn't answer off the top of my head. When they do the final edit people like me are cut out and they leave in all the dummies. Rest assured they ran into some intelligent people on this shoot... and they all ended up on the editing room floor. I could go to any country in the world and reproduce this same piece.
