Q: What's the religion of a Budhist monk?

I think I lost some IQ points listening to those answers:(

yeah, we are all idiots :rolleyes:

Yeah, that's what I said.

Oow, you mean the title of the movie:D

Yeah, that's what I said.

yeah, but I mean he went to Texas......what did he expect?

oh shit, that's depressing.

yeah, but I mean he went to Texas......what did he expect?
I know, not all Americans are like that;)

You know what? Considering that the dude is Australian and that he got an American to confuse Iran and Australia on a map, I hope we do invade "Iran" now.

Well, people on EverQuest thought I was a half-Caucasian half-Japanese lesbian, so take that as you will.

(Which reminds me...one of the people on there reminded me a lot of you...I'd think it would be ultimate irony if it was you...but no, you would have recognized the Kyronea surname to the Yltaria name, so nevermind.)

How do we know you're not?

every country has it's idiots.

What's depressing is these idiots are allowed to vote, maybe there should be a test that people should have to pass before being allowed to vote.

Anybody want to take bets that they interviewed many more people than that, and then cut out all the intelligent answers?

In any case...I was born in Mississippi. Anybody want to tell me I'm stupid?

really? what about them reminded you of me?

Seems faked to me.

Im thinking 'scripted moment'. I seriously doubt that, even if a person hasnt seen a map in five years or so, they could NOT know where France is. Much less confuse it with Australia.

You're probably right.

of course they did but it's still disturbing that people don't know how many sides a triangle has, that the Berlin wall is in Berlin... geez that's frightening stupidity.

Well, Saso--the character name of the person who reminded me of you--was about your age, married, had at least one kid, and acted like you all over the place. It was scary. At some points I was tempted to ask if she was you, but I decided not to because I thought it might ruin my cover persona, which I kept up because I didn't want some people I knew who played EverQuest knowing it was me on there.

it's a good idea to keep that quiet........

Oh, dear. It's like someone made a video of several US Generalites I've had the misfortune of encountering here. I still remember the one who bitched about "that Swiss guy" in regards to me, and the one who refused to admit the US had a parliament, and the one who sent me belligerent TGs after I posted in a non-English thread about how "this was America and we speak American here", and the one who...

There were a few that they messed up on though, I noticed. The 'How many world wars' question is open to debate, even if the obvious answer is 'two', but considering that pretty much the entire world was involved in the Cold War, three could be a correct answer as well.

That and it looked like a few people were either paid or joking. The 'Al Queda is a suicide group in Israel' guy kept glancing at somebody behind the camera and was trying not to laugh, for instance.

Tell me about it...some of these people remind me of my southern relatives. I'm ashamed that these people live in the same country as I do. Just remember that not all of us are idiots, Fass. Some of us are actually intelligent, as hard as that may seem to believe, judging by these people. ~_~

Well since the cold war wasn't actually a war...

If I can block Dubya out every time he's on TV, I think I can manage to ignore these ones as well.

Well since the cold war wasn't actually a war...

no but the Seven Years War was, and should titled WW1. It's a matter of opinion on how many WW's there were but 2 is the accepted answer.

Well since the cold war wasn't actually a war...

Really? Tell that to the people in Afghanistan. I understand it wasnt such a bad place to live up until about 1980 or so.

My favorite:


Interviewer: Who was the first man on the moon?
Stupid American: Well I gotta tell ya some people don't really believe that happened, it was reincarnated in Arizona somewhere...

This was a good one too
Interviewer:Where is the West Bank?
Answer: On the East Coast probably...

Did we really need another thread to tell people that other people are stupid? I mean, look at half of the political/theological threads on this site alone...


That being said, those answers are somewhat amusing. Another almost bash.org one I heard in class was "Well one-quarter of the class is here...that's like...40% right?" or something to that effect.

So how many sides does it have?? I always thought it was four, too. They don't say the answer.

And Ugoslavia does start with a U, just say it out loud to see.

Not too smart yourself if you watch it again every time, no?

The stupid people tend to forget it.:p

CNNN was an awesome show. I think it got axed though. (I wouldn't know since I haven't really watched TV in about 3 years)

This movie reminds me of a dutch serie called Vakantieman (Holiday Man) in which people on holidays had to point out where they were. They also made some grave mistakes.

Which just means that there are more stupid people in the world and that it doesn't have anything to do with nationality :)

I didn't imply that.:p
All Belgians are stupid, it's true. Like an 'Atomium, just what?
Kanabia: [australian accent]I think George Bush is a rewtard.[/australian accent] Awesome:D

That's true! That's why I love you :D :fluffle:

I actually giggled when he was asking people if they voted for the Democrats. Um? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_Democrats)

Australians are awesome:D :p

Well, most of us, anyway. ;)

We don't say "blimey". That would be the Bertish.

Blimey, you mean that's from those guys 50 kilometres to the west of me?:eek:

Cor! dat aint a fair bit far, innit?

CNNN was an awesome show. I think it got axed though. (I wouldn't know since I haven't really watched TV in about 3 years) CNNNN was a part of "the Chaser" which still shows on ABC (not sure when, as I also do not watch 'tv', however The Chaser releases it's episodes on YouTube for all too see). The show you are thinking of was 'The Glasshouse' which recently got contraversially axed by the newly appointed (and notoriously right wing) ABC Board, despite having fantastic ratings and bringing enormous viewers to the ABC. Most understand the move as an act of affirmation by the new board to portray an image of being 'tough' on the left-bias ABC has developed (and simultaneously justify their appointment to their right-wing masters in the federal parliment, whilst also ensuring many years of continued 'service' to the people of Australia- who we musn't forget are the ones paying their wages). Wow what a sentence.

Yes, this man serves only to make his people look even stupider. Was he in Melbourne, Kanabia? I didn't recognise it as a part of Sydney. Anyhow, congrats on having a city with only one bearded idiot, even post-studio editing.

The end of that first video is downright scary, though.

Q: Your President says Kyrgyzstan is a threat to the security of the United States. Do you agree?
A: Well, if he says it, it must be true.
Q: Would you support a war against Kyrgyzstan?
A: If President Bush says we have to invade Kyrgyzstan, he must be right, and I'll support him all the way.

Not just once, but again and again! :eek:

I don't suppose it's all that surprising, sadly, but it just shows (again) that a great many people are willing to believe anything, and support a war based on not a shred of evidence or thought of their own.

We don't say "blimey". That would be the Bertish.

...I think. :p
Quite the one taking the words from my mouth tonight, eh? Yeah, 'Blimey' is Cockney, I believe. Although Cockney did have a big influence on the formation of the early Australian accent, it has largely faded away. An Australian saying 'Blimey' is about as rare as an Australian using 'Rhyming Slang'. Incidentally, I think the reason people keep asscociating it with us isbecause of that Simpsons episode...

Silence you, you should just be grateful that at least some of the US isn't actively boycotting you and you devilspoken country.

Cor! dat aint a fair bit far, innit?
And it's sea, that helps too:D

Anybody want to take bets that they interviewed many more people than that, and then cut out all the intelligent answers?

In any case...I was born in Mississippi. Anybody want to tell me I'm stupid?
My money is on this.

Blimey, you mean that's from those guys 50 kilometres to the west of me?:eek:

Yoinks! That means that you live closer to those tea drinkers then to me? :(

I'm totally flabbergasted now!

Oh, I see. Cool, then. I might have to check it out.

Wow what a sentence.

Nope, I definitely knew the glasshouse, as it was one of the few shows I sat down to watch occasionally. I just thought CNNNN might have been axed, because I don't really expect cool locally produced shows to survive for very long anymore. Funny, that. :p

I don't know. It looks vaguely familiar, and hints about the winter cold might suggest so over more northerly cities. I noticed in the opening part of the video a logo on the planter behind the man - the sun? Wasn't that part of the tourist campaign for Brisbane?

The end of that first video is downright scary, though.

True, but notice how the same people are making the most absurd comments. It's funny, but we can't really be sure how many intelligent people he had to skip over.

(although i'd bet that 99% of people fell for the John Howard stunt, since nobody would know what he looked like. I don't know what Stephen Harper looks like, for example, even though i'd recognise his name as PM of Canada.)

Yoinks! That means that you live closer to those tea drinkers then to me? :(

I'm totally flabbergasted now!
I dunno, I'll check that out:fluffle:

I have to express my disbelief though. It has to be more than 50km. That's quite surreal, since I travel almost that distance to go to the city centre.

50km from the English coast to Calais, maybe?

Yes indeed. I live about 100km from HC. But distance means nothing in love :) :fluffle:

I watched that video a week or so back and when they asked "name a country begining with "U" I thougt to myself Uraguay, Uganda, so i suppose i missed the obvious one...does that make me stupid.

But I did get a good laugh from this video.

Nah, I showered, and then put my late breakfast in the oven - I don't get bored when waiting for something good.

Breakfast in the oven?

Oh, right. Silly Europeans with your coldness. Not that i'd be bothered to cook something for breakfast anyway, mind you.

Breakfast in the oven?

Oh, right. Silly Europeans with your coldness. Not that i'd be bothered to cook something for breakfast anyway, mind you.

Well, I did say 'late breakfast'. It's 5:30 pm, and it's camenbert that's doing its oven time (I'd never 'cook' anything for regular breakfast either). It's just that I haven't eaten anything yet today, and I'm a stickler for names like that.. I also refuse to call a day 'the next day' when I haven't slept yet (but am intending to; things are different when you plan on not sleeping). Major pet peeve of mine when people go "Haha, you mean later today" when I say "I'll call you tomorrow, then" as a good-bye at 3am in the morning.
Umm. I'll just be quiet now.

But more importantly: Camembert, why? That stuff isn't for eating. Can it even be cooked properly?

I saw a restaurant in England that deep-fries it. I almost threw up on the pavement.

I'm a "cheese isn't to be eaten cold, in any way, shape, or form" person, but hot, cheese is very eadable in many forms, including pizza topping, filling, and, well, baked camenbert. Although I'm most definately not one of those heretics eating it with sweet stuff (like these funny berries or anything), but with bread (right now), rice, or whatever else happens to appear in my food shelf.

Personally, i'll eat it any which way.

Except with the sweet stuff, yeah. Ooh - and I saw someone buy what I believe was salmon flavoured cheese at work today. Now that's disgusting...

I thought CNNN died years ago?

Actually, that's rather yummy.

So you do. Here, have a deep-fried camenbert.

If it's any comfort, there are stupid people here in France too. ;)

The video is in French, but it's not difficult to follow even if your knowledge of French is rudimentary.

http://www.youtube.com:80/watch?v=inWb1cYkCJc

I showed the video in the OP to my 5 year old, who laughed her little butt off at the question "Name a country that starts with the letter U"

she said "duh, idiots, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA"

haha :D

Part of me just died after I watched that...

Star Wars is based on a true story. True or false?

uhhh True?

lol
that video is hilarious.

I loved how people believed the map~!
