[Essenz]

[A550RGY]

RE: The Moon landing: "...some people don't believe that happened, they believe that was, ah, REINCARNATED in Arizona somewhere."

This is so NOT fake. A good portion of the population really is that clueless. It's amazing how they get around in life and manage to find at least some financial success. Truly a testament to how great it is to live in America.

A good portion of the population in Europe, Asia and Africa are clueless as well.

[PhantomWolf]

Wow....... just wow. I feel just a wee bit smarter now.

[Solidus]

I will admit I had no clue on some...but at least I know the number of eifel towers in france.................Its 3 right?

[_Joe]

They HAVE to cut up some of those answers. I could tell they did on at least one, and another one they just found the craziest old guy they could to say that Al-Quaida (sp) is a branch of the Masonic Order. I can't believe some of the other people, though. It motivates me to stay in college!! :D

EDIT: I bet that British guy found the most red-necked man he could and pronounced it [coffee-a-nan], just to confuse the guy.

Kofi Annan - Head of the UN

Tony Blair - PM of England

Axis of Evil (the guy got confused with the Axis Powers of WWII) - Iran, Iraq, North Korea

1st man on the moon (NOT A RUSSIAN, YOU DUMB BITCH!!) - Louis Armstrong

Reincarnated does NOT mean recreated

Mosque - Place of worship for Muslims

People have 2 kidneys

Colateral Damage is unexpected/unintended damage, mostly brought upon civilians or infrastructure. (And the movie is called "Colateral," prick)

Only 2 World Wars so far

KFC didn't really come from Kentucky, perse. It started out mostly as an interstate chain. That just shows how much the British guy knows about chicken.

That one Star Wars question can't be serious...... *crying*

Hiroshima and Nagasaki were both nuked in WWII

The West Bank is in Israel (the guy was proly high and thinking about the Outer Banks in North Carolina)

1 Eifel (sp) Tower

Al-Quaida is an international terrorist organization

Belin Wall was torn down IN BERLIN by Kruschev (sp) under pressure from the US

Judaism is the main religion of Israel

Latin is a dead language

[bl4h]

I admit, i didnt know all of the answers, but I wouldnt be dumb enough to make a fool of myself and try and answer them :/

[A550RGY]

Definitely. Sometimes we need to remind ourselves that America didn't get to the top of the food chain by being stupider than the rest of the world. In fact, it's made up of people from the rest of the world, but only the ones that had the means, guts, and good sense to relocate here. (With the exception of an obvious certain section of the population that shouldn't have been brought here against their will.)

[lakerskobe]

tony blair is an actor, linda blairs brother

:help:


what countries are in the axis of evil

um california, new york...damn lol :ahhh:

[TravisK]

Louis armstrong is a jazz musician... NEIL Armstrong was the first man on the moon, unless he was actually a robot.

America??? the top of the food chain!?! haha, i live in america and i don't even belive that. America's a dieing country. nothing lasts for ever man, nothing! (and for those of you who think i'm not from America, you would be mistaken)

But for that old guy that said there have been 3 world wars.....wow, i hope he has some mental problems becuase if he doesn't thats sad. I mean for gods sake, hes lived through one.

[fsc89]

joecnt, I am amazed at your post. You make a post trying to prove how intelligent you are, but you get your facts wrong anyway. Louis Armstrong is not an astronaut and the reporter is not British, he is Australian. You had all the resources of the internet to check that you were right, but you still managed to get some wrong.

Maybe you should have been featured in this video?

ya, i was reading his answers too, and i was saying to myself....wait a second, thats wrong lol. oh well, at least he went to the trouble of attempting to get all the right answers for the questions.

[Hûçål]

1st man on the moon (NOT A RUSSIAN, YOU DUMB BITCH!!) - Louis Armstrong


That is so incrediblly ironic. :P

[NTR]

how can we be sure it wasn't a russian? What if they fired a rocket up there and he jumped off and bounced off the moon and is like that guy from 2001:ASO?

Belin Wall was torn down IN BERLIN by Kruschev (sp) under pressure from the US




By the time the Berlin wall fell Kruschev was already dead (He died in 1971)

It was Gorbachev (sp) not Kruschev.

AUSTRALIAN NOT BRITISH.....THE REPORTER IS AUSTRALIAN!(This means he comes from Australia, not England, there is a difference incase you didn't know).
You are just as bad as the idiots in the video, ignorant and uneducated.
I'm not even going to get started on your other mistakes.

[Wokelstein]

Just goes to show that everybody has a little dumb shit in them and it only takes one wrong answer to make yourself look like an idiot.

I would think you would have to be completely fucking retarded to think that Louis Armstrong landed on the moon or to not know that Collateral Damage is the title of an action movie with Arnold Schwarzenegger released about four years ago.

But then again I didn't know who Koffi Annan is nor did I know that the guy was Australian.

So there you go.

[CPT Lars]

I find it funny that they walk around a place like CALIFORNIA more specifically VENICE BEACH and get these answers. Go figure the largest liberal population(just a guess). Anyways, The most rediculous part is they probaly film about twenty to thirty people before they get one of these idiots. So what I'm saying is that if you think all Americans are like this then you're probaly one of the people on this video.
BTW if you don't know the answers to these questions... well you should move to Venice Beach, California.

[_Joe]

Shit..... maybe they should put me in one of those videos......

THAT was your first post in a year....???

He sounded pretty British to me, sorry if I made a mistake, ASSHAT.

What's your deal? It looked like everyone was getting a laugh out of my mistakes, and you say Im "ignorant and uneducated." Bitch... How was I even supposed to know that? The last report of this type that came out was British, so I assumed that this was also.



ps: I hate the regular forums, I think im gonna go hide out in Premium for a few months.

[Bubba-E]

A large portion of Humanity is that stupid.

I hate how people do these things to make Americans look stupid. They can ask 100 people these questions, and a few would have some really stupid answers, and that's all they show, the stupid answers.

I wish somebody would do this to Europeans.

The stupid answers are funnier than the correct ones, so we really can't blame them for going for laughs. But your suggestion about someone filming Europeans on the street and catching them in stupid answers is really good. I hope an enterprising American does this on their next vacation.

I wonder if any other country besides the US has the balls to film it's own people looking stupid (and I'm not talking about port-a-potty users being suddenly launched on jet skis).

[hoax.dc]

LOL what a fucking bunch of tards, but you know that had to be abit edited, and i'm sure they only asked stupid looking people, and probably asked 100's and only showed the ones that got it wrong. Americans are not that bad. Nice to know about the Kentucky thing, but even if it was wrong come on, he should of said it.

STAR WARS IS BASED ON A TRUE STORY... haha.

"Is star wars based on a true story?"

"..Yes."

You're right, he got one wrong...he's definately retarded. :rollseyes

it looked like they were a bunch of people who were drunk or high or something, and the old people had oldtimers dizzies

[YayGirMyStir]

I didnt think this made americans look dumb at all. It wasnt having a stab at americans it was having a stab at people in general. I think the americans in this fourm need to relax its only a joke.. you guys make yourselves look so arrogant and up yourselves by geting so fired up over this. :wave:

You're right...that's why when this is posted it's usually followed by "Americans=Stupid" or comments such as "Oh vay, what's wrong with Americans these days..."

Don't be a dumbass, this was intentionally made to make Americans look stupid. Otherwise, why wouldn't they add a few correct answers in there to show not everyone they interviewed is retarded? Or better yet...why didn't they do this in their own country...or your country (If not the same)? I mean, if they're "just taking a stab at people in general" and all...

i bet when he replies to you he's gunna use the ol' American melting pot arguement and say america = every country put together.

just giving you a heads up

[yureeka47]

People outside of North America.. such as in Europe, and even countries in Asia and South America hit by poverty, their levels of education are A LOT higher than here. My entire family was taught in Soviet schools, and the education here is absolutely laughable. The fact that some of you don't know ALL the answers that were asked is just plain silly. All the questions were meant to be easy, thats why they were asked.. There would be nothing funny in asking challenging questions.

[darkesthorizon]

This really isn't an oringal concept. You interview 100 people, you're bound to find a lot of dumbasses

[Refuse]

The fact that some of you don't know ALL the answers that were asked is just plain silly.


What's silly is thinking you can judge a person's intelligence by a couple of wrong answers.

[Errant Spittle]

i'm not going to say that americans are dumb, but many of them are very ignorant to the world around them. I was caught behind some american girls at the checkout line in walmart today, and they were holding up the line because they didn't know what a loonie, or a toonie was for. nevermind the fact that they thought they got a discount because they were paying in american money. dont get me wrong though, i have to deal with people everyday who i could swear are at least semi-retarded.

[XxMASTARRONxX]

Yes, a lot of people are pretty damn stupid, but why didnt they show all of the answers to all the questions for each person? They only show the ones they got wrong. Yes some of the answers were stupid, but they might of gotten the other questions right.

So making people seem stupid is really not that hard, you just edit out all the right answers and I'm sure you will make the population look pretty damn stupid.

Entertaining video non the less. I knew all of the answers, but the last one was tricky, it had me thinking for a little bit.

[Esmirnow]

The passion doesn't come from the video, but from the longstanding stereotype that the world considers Americans to be dumb and fat. Well, okay, we're a little chunky. But we isn't dumb.

But we isn't dumb. I hope you're joking, because this sentence alone either proves your stupidity, or your girth. You are either saying that you are several people by yourself, or you just dont realise that the correct sentence is "We, however, are not dumb."

You, however, probably were joking. It's true though, the stupidity. I went to Washington, which isnt that far from Canada, and the people there thought we lived in igloos. We told them we measured things in thumbs and that it varied because "as you can see, my thumbs are much bigger than his and my left thumb is slightly smaller than my right." They believed us. We gave them the whole system, the whole 6 square thumbs to a yard etc...

I, however, respect you all like I would respect a handicapped child. And I will never understand why so many of you hate the British. You are their offspring.

BTW. Araffat is the leader, everybody knows that. Best comment. He's so arrogant.

I Love The States.

Not to be rude, but for some reason I'm not really buying into this story of yours. Either you're making that up or you met up with some ridiculously (obviously) ignorant people that you know couldn't hardly represent an entire nation. Unless, however, you're just really not that bright either.

I've lived near Canada in Ft. Drum New York. The drinking age is lower in Canada than it is in the US, which attracts a lot of nearby younger American residents. Canada also has some really beautiful scenerey and some cool cities, so I have no doubt it also attracts the older folk. All in all, Canada attracts a lot of Americans for various reasons.

People living near Canada, know Canada. The idiots that don't...those that think Canadians live in Igloos(:rollseyes) do not and cannot represent the rest of us. If you think they do, then you are hardly in the position to call people stupid.

That's the good thing about being an American. We don't give a shit about how much respect you have for us. Especially since you're obviously one of the idiots that thinks they know one, they know them all.

How many of "us" hate the British and how are we their offspring? Are you telling me my mother and father are really British because...please finish this for me.

You are an idiot, the main reason why your respect doesn't mean dick...other than being a moronic hypocrite.

he was saying that the u s of a was once a part of england, the new england, until we broke away and became our own. So we are born from the english well besides all the imigrants from all over the world which is most of the population.

[Refuse]

I know what he's trying to say but he's an idiot...

There's a difference between being English offspring and being born of Enlgish ancestry. Dink makes it sound like America gained its independece a few years ago. I think 230 years is long enough to say we're no longer "their offspring."

[A550RGY]

But we isn't dumb. I hope you're joking, because this sentence alone either proves your stupidity, or your girth.

"Girth"? As in my circumference?

[armst012]

I had a problem just understanding the guy asking the questions. I bet you 10 bucks alot of the people confusion came from his accent alone. I work 3 jobs 2 of them involve dealing with people and I'll say I hate it when I have to deal with foreigners. The botch the language so bad sometimes its not even funny. Not that I cant complain too much They can speak ours better then most of us can speak theirs.

[Esmirnow]

I did not lie about that story, I did not ask idiotic-looking people, we asked and spoke to MANY as your population is HUGE. Saying offspring was a metaphor that the U.S. is a child of Britain, just like Canada, and if you don't care about respect than I'll say what I was thinking: FUCK YOU.

Don't give me that shit...
You didn't go around asking a large majority of our population. You said you "went to Washington (state)." There are more states than just Washington and their hardly a huge part of our population. Any American that thinks Canadians live in Igloos is obviously not the average American and you're a dumbass for considering such. Especially with those Americans living near the border of Canada.

No, I'm not sorry... I don't care about any ounce of respect you have for the U.S., especially since whatever respect you claim to have is bullshit. How did you put it, "I respect the U.S. like I respect a handicapped child." A true American is proud and does not need your respect to get through the day.

So..naaa, Canook...go fuck yourself, eh.

[Esmirnow]

I have a moustache made of shit on my face.

[thegnome54]

REALLY? You know, that's funny, I never would have noticed if you didn't tell me... it blends in rather well.

[Dontdropthesoad]

I call bs on alot of the video, It wasn't seemless which leads me to believe that he could have asked an entirely different question, then edited the response which may have been correct and inserted the reply to the other question.

[Crowsnose]

this video clip is actually fairly old, so I don't think the one idiot was referring to the somewhat new movie Collateral

[wordelo]

I just had to say something

I can see where dontdropthesoad is coming from about the seemless thing but still many of them are pretty lame

I mean come on 10 eiffel towers in france, the berlin wall is in berlin that is what the question is asking. The question itself is usually the answer.

it's like asking where is the great wall of china a true idiot response would be "huh somewhere in texas."

and Kentucky fried chicken DID start in kentucky. here's proof

http://www.kfc.com/about/colonel.htm

we have two kidneys (at least we are born with two) not one. without study of human physiology I do not expect someone to know this. but the dude that answered this was asian, throwing out the whole american thing.

Intelegence cannot be measured so easily there are things people know that others do not. It is how we learn. that is why we go to school so we can pass knowledge on from people who know the stuff to the people who don't. and we are not born with intelegence.

intelegence also is not based on how much we know it is based on how much we remember. someone who answered the question about ten eiffel towers obviously had his facts mixed up. perhaps he didn't care about school I know people who dropped out of high school. this is funny.

I got these two friends friend A is the smart one he graduated with me. friend B dropped out a year before graduation. when friend B needed help with a credit card because he maxed it out(300 dollar limit) and owed 50 bucks to the bank(minimum payment) friend A lends 50 bucks to pay for it (being a good friend). then friend B says. "so does that mean I can use all 300 bucks again?"

perfect example. ok im done now.

[Esmirnow]

Intelligence. It was the only thing that bothered me. You're right though.
I think my friend wrote that moustache comment. Cracked me up.

[Goldana]

Being American and living in Europe, I get to see both sides of the coin.
Ignorance and stupidity is everywhere, in every country.
I've known Americans who have never left the safety of their little cocoon and actually thought Swiss people were like the Swiss Miss on hot cocoa packages, the English were all gay and only drank tea and ate crumpets and the Germans were still Nazis. I've even been asked if we have electricity and television over here...hmmm.
On the flip side, I've met Europeans who held the stereotype that all Americans are fat, lazy and loud mouthed. That most Americans think that they are the "God" of all countries. In other words, just conceited and pathetic.
You are going to get these type of people everywhere. People who have never travelled, people who get their knowledge from things they see on T.V., people who are too patriotic for their own good, you get my point...
As for the video clip, it wouldn't be too funny if they showed the people who got the answers right. So, I am not complaining and I'm not offended in the least bit because I know there are people out there who would provide these answers. I also know there are people who could write a 20 page essay on each question and get it completely right.
But, again, that wouldn't be too funny and wouldn't provide us with entertainment.

and Kentucky fried chicken DID start in kentucky. here's proof

http://www.kfc.com/about/colonel.htm


Harland Sanders did develop the "secret recipe" chicken in Corbin, KY. However, the first of Sander's franchised restaurants to bear the name "Kentucky Fried Chicken" was in Salt Lake City, Utah.
