I'm inclined to believe they edited out those that answered correctly, but a part of me wants to believe they were a minority anyway.

Yeah I know it's old, but I'm still amazed at the incredible ignorance of some people.

I know for a fact we're not all that stupid. >_<

The ones that especially pissed me off where the ones who thought North/South Korea were in Australia. Ridiculous.

I remember there was a similar one where the interviewer asked interviewees whether they agreed to the government's new decision of invadin Blackistan (or some other equally ficticious name) while showing them a map of something that looked like upside-down Czech Rep. or some other eastern European inland country. And all of them said yes.

They're all obviously uneducated. :x

Hell, I would never say yes to the invasion of a country without some research into it, unknowingly fictitious or not. >_>

They're not stupid, sure. They're ignorant, arrogant and stupid.

"your 3rd world Poor trash country Romania rely on American Food donations for your survival."
"You eurotrash have to follow American elections because US president is more important than your shitty kings, Queens and Prime ministers. No one give a flying fuck about your eurotrash leaders. Its all about America cause we RULE the world!"
"American Superiority Confirmed!"
"Wow, US Economy is bigger, stronger and richer than China, Germany, UK France and Italy combined."
"Simply Because America is Superior to you in all respect and we will always be the MASTER of the World!"
"America completely dominates the world's finance"

Oh I'm sorry, I can't hear you over the sound of your white house burning.

I know not all Americans [Right, because America is a country, right?] are this ignorant and arrogant, but really?

I'm guessing it's all fake.

This same video, or at least a video with the same content, was posted in a thread a few years ago.
It generated some serious tension, and for a while TWHL was thought of as anti American.

I think the thread was called "Dumb Americans" or "Stupid Americans".

Edit: I think it might have been this thread but I'm not sure. I specifically remember the content from that video generating a lot of anger.

But yeah, it's mostly bullshit. Unless myself and everyone I know really are more knowledgeable than the greater population, it's mostly bullshit.

I know I am ;)

Not necessarily more knowledgeable, but at least with a better reasoning ability.
