    The Smart Americans.

    Aww, okay I know this film uses pretty cheap tactics but it's still funny to watch.

    edit: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kLXRVvA6T9k <---this is even worse.

    Do you guys think that these videos carry a general consensus, or are they cleverly edited to portray a specific thing?

    "Which countries are in the Axis of Evil?"
    "I think all of them"

    LOL

    Edit: Also, I used to watch Talking to Americans on This Hour has 22 Minutes all the time, but then I got pretty bored of that show lol

    "Kofi Annan is a drink, true or false?"

    "Coffee what?"

    Well, I think it's pretty obvious they don't show the people that answered the questions correctly.

    I think so too. If you take a large group of Americans, and ask them how many sides a triangle has, I think most of them should answer correctly.

    Same for some of the other questions. Like.. Israel being Islamic? lol

    The "U" country caught me off-guard, though. My knee-jerk response was Uganda, but only at the end when they said "What about this one?" did I realize USA was what they were probably shooting for.

    Some questions I didn't know, like the Coalition of the Willing, and I'd probably be a bit fuzzy on the exact location of certain countries if I were randomly stopped on the street and asked to point to a blank map. However, I would hope that the average American knows that France isn't in Australia.

    "How many sides does a triangle have?" "Damn...four?" "no sides....one?"

    These interviewers should carry a large wooden paddle with them and give people that say these things a good slap in the face with it. :D

    The title of this topic is an oxymoron, just replace American with human being though.

    With this thread title, and the youtube links, I was half-expecting a massive Rickroll.

    Yes I know its bannable, but Rocl has diplomatic immunity.
