Yes well, not everyone wants to look at current events or basic math. I mean who would? But to say American's aren't stupid isn't to say that we ALL are smart.

If you really want to watch someone flounder over basic education questions you should watch "Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader" Get some really interesting people there. Hosted by Jeff Foxworthy.

Example: This thursday's episode they had a college fratboy and his bro's up. Question: What four words follow "My Country Tis of Thee" in the song 'America'?

One of them answered "Oh beautiful, for gracias" Wrong song and even if it were the right song it would still be wrong.


Added: Of course it could also be camera schock, where you're on camera and all signs of intelligence vanish instantly.
It's scary but you'll find ample idiots in any country. They're not just localised stateside.

Still the video is also kind of scary. I'm no genius but I'm still smarter than those people. And I've only got a highschool education so far.
