I think the correct title of that is "America According to the World"

Guy with a microphone and camera-man: "Hi, we're asking questions about American history (or whatever), if you give us a stupid answer you'll get on TV"

Random person: "COOL"

Guy...: "Ok let's set up some back story, you're a college graduate who majored in history, but when I ask who the 2nd president of the united states was you stare at me with a blank expression."

Random person: "OK! TV!!!"

Now I'm sure some of them are real, but I know a lot of them are like above. There's a reason they don't do this sort of thing live .

I'm sure I could go to the local Walmart, and get a similar video...without having to edit anything.

I have a friend who though:
Ken Livingston (Fairly prominent british politician) was the president of Nigeria.
Didn't know what the Holocaust is.
Would have sex with Peter North (gogo peer pressure)
Didn't know who Michael Jordan is.
Thinks Bruce Wayne is an actor.
Thinks the Cheeky Girls were the Spice Girls reformed after they broke up.

Yes, dumb people exist everywhere.

I'm not gonna disagree with most americans being stupid, but if you asked similar questions in nature to people in diffrent countries the result would be the same.

I knew a guy when I was in college who used to say: "look at the average man and be amazed that 50% of the populace is even dumber than he is".

Sad but true.
