And people wonder why Americans are considered stupid?

After watching this video, I really can't do anything but laugh. I just lost so much faith in my fellow man. And it's people like this that do absolutely nothing to combat American stereotypes.

Note: Please do not watch if you have no sense of humor or irony.

Jesus, how many times is this going to get posted here? You know, you can make any nation on earth seem stupid if you interview enough people and just show the really dumb ones.

Should I post the Australian one?

Exactly my point, but you must admit it's not helping.

I didn't know this was posted already. I've been away for months and months. Sorry.:(

Observations of stupidity come in a whole host of media, DCD. Well, stupidity or outright lying. Take your pick.

Do actually, it gives a little bit of balance.

Lesson learned: Americans aren't stupid.... people are.

No nationality is any more intelligent than any other. Some countries, however, have less educated populations. You pay the price for underfunded public schools.

Yeah but they're REALLY REALLY DUMB!
But how did the guy manage to switch the maps so australia always said the right country on? (If its incredibly obvious then I too am dumb)

You still had faith in your fellow man? I lost that somewhere around 5th grade. Man is usually intelligent, yet seldom wise.

Probably different maps. Consistent with the 'did it a whole bunch of times and picked out the idiots' hypothesis, in that it likely covered multiple days. Amusing, but not really a good point regarding anything.

Exactly. And the guy doing it had an accent, I dunno from where, but I'm guessing we need to invade his country next. He's in cohoots with the terrorists and French. So I'll say the UK or Australia, maybe even New Zealand.

If you don't have a sense of humor, ignore this post

Not all Americans are dumb - I know plenty of intelligent Americans. However, it is a tad worrying when a nation elects a village idiot as president.

Go for it. It's no secret that most Australians are ignorant idiots too.

Rule #1: All humans are stupid.
Rule #2: All human behaviour can be explained by rule #1.

I think someone has that in their signature on here too. Rules to live by!

I understand they wanted to get people to pick Austrialia, but I would have liked it better if it wasn't labled. It would have been funny to see where people ended up thinking N. Korea was without the lable. Maybe someone would have picked Austrialia anyway.
