    Ohhhh. Myyyy..... God And my wife doesn’t understand why I refuse to send our kids (when we have them) to public schools. Here we see streamlining and political correctness at work my friends. Did you know that teachers aren't allowed to fail these morons without their parent’s permission in most US public school systems? Fill me with your knowledge, your wisdom, your coffe.

              I'm bored, so here you go. "What is a mosque?" "I have no idea" "What is collateral damage?" "Well, there's a film about it, so it must be about that. But I don't know." "How many world wars have there been?" "Three." (this guy was > 60!) "Who is Tony Blair" "An actor" "Who was the first man on the moon?" "John Glenn" "How many kidneys does a person have?" "One." "What state does KFC come from?" "I don't know" "Do you know what it stands for?" "Yeah - Kentucky Fried Chicken" "How many eiffel towers are there in Paris?" "I'd say 10." "Where was the Berlin Wall?" "Israel"

                    :omg::omg: Wow - that IS odd. It seems likely that it's not a setup, ( although it also seems obvious they chose the worst answers ). Still, it seems there are more ignorant people around than I thought....

                      Sometimes it can be quite entertaining. There is a late night game show on here (the US) called "Street Smarts" that polls these morons. To win the game contestants must guess if the person will get the answers correct. Sometimes the mind boggles at some of the responses. One of my favorites from the show: Q. Who is buried in “Grant's Tomb?” A. hmmm………George Washington? The mind boggles. Fill me with your knowledge, your wisdom, your coffee.

                          Ha Ha, what a moron! This was easy: "What is a mosque?"  A slug or snail sorta thing. "What is collateral damage?"  When a house catches fire, and the mortgage hasn't been paid off yet. "How many world wars have there been?"  Three! WWI & II, and one at my house last week. Ok, so most of you sat that one out, but i can't be blamed for that... "Who is Tony Blair"  A comedian. He doesn't get much work outside of the UK, as the rest of the world is less accepting of his humour. "Who was the first man on the moon?"  Timothy Leary "How many kidneys does a person have?"  Seven. Want one? Check out my auction on EBay... :suss: "What state does KFC come from?"  Wisconsin. Maybe others too, but they're too far to drive to... "How many eiffel towels are there in Paris?"  Eiffel towels!?! So much for the French having taste... "Where was the Berlin Wall?"  Europe. Shog9 ------

                            Yep it is suprisingly it was Grant,Ulysses S. Grant. The sad part to me is that without knowledge of US history one could guess / reason "Grant." But these people don't event want to think. Who's John Gauld? Fill me with your knowledge, your wisdom, your coffee.

                              Its taken from a TV show here in Oz called "CNNNN" which as you may guess is a pisstake on a certain news network. Every week they have a segment where they ask Americans these questions in the street, its hilarious.

                                There is a late-night TV show here where they occasionally do the same thing - quite funny. But what they don't show are the hundreds of clips where the people have the correct answers. In addition, a number of those "idiots" know the gig and are just making sure they get some camera time. I've seen the same thing in England, Mexico and Germany so I wouldn't get too smug. Mike Mullikin :beer:
