      Oh my god!

      "Star wars is based on a true story. True or false."

      "True".

      It's official, we are a nation of retards.

      Why can't these interviewers ever ask THE SMART PEOPLE these questions?! It's goddamn embarrassing!

        I'm sure this clip was edited, but it still shows the utter stupidity of some Americans. How sad to see some of these answers.

          It really goes to show you the kind of education people get these days in school.

            Jay Leno has been making a good living doing this same thing. These people are just as smart as our "great decider".

              They may have been a bit dumb, but they all had one thing in common- they seemed very nice. As has been my experience with most Americans I've met. So don't beat yourselves up too much over that clip.

                Sean Hannity does a similar bit as does Rick Roberts in San Diego.....as far as I can tell, 90% of Americans are dumbasses and know little about anything(of course this is true worldwide) and about the same amount know nothing about politics...this alone should be reason to not allow them to vote.....leave the voting to those that do pay attention and know what is going on....

                  in that last video of Bush he is surely drunk.

                  No one is that dumb unless drunk.

                    Bush has a lifetime record of failing at every enterprise - except being elected.

                    And it is precisely the same people that cannot name a single country in Europe, or a single Supreme Court Justice, that elected him.

                        Here's a little more (an Australian perspective).

                        Why People Think Americans Are So Stupid.

                              I agree with you 99%. The 1% is screaming "BUT I DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE GOVERNMENT ANYMORE!!!! LEAVE ME ALONE!!" and plops down in front of the TV and watches Rosie.

                                How sad is it that some need to use this video of 3 drunk partiers being interviewed by a comedian to represent the intelligence of all Americans. What does that say about YOUR intelligence?

                                  One day a co-worker asked me, "what is four times a hundred?" I replied "four hundred." She went to a calculator to check it out. Ever after she held me in high regard for being so smart I could do it in my head. She also supports Bush.

                                    How is it that so many Americans could not name a country beginning with "U" but so many are willing to defend one? The answer is really quite simple. The leader of this great nation keeps telling us that its name is 'Merica.

                                        Sometimes intelligence is relative.

                                        My (legal) immigrant friends had some family members come to visit. The only available room at the hotel was handicapped,

                                        which was equipped with a detachable shower head as required by law.

                                        Imagine their surprise when they discovered a "telephone" in their shower!!

                                          I have done similar things at work. I have asked my co-workers various questions over the years and have never failed to be disappointed in their answers. I love man on the street segments on different shows. These things show who will be negating your vote at election time.

                                              Truth is you could make the same video anywhere in the world,

                                              with editing and picking your victims based on geographic weaknesses. Americans (the collective) have never been good at geography, ever notice how they exploit this. We have a lot of American tourists and relatives that visit during the summer month here in Atlantic Canada, most Canadians can name more states than they can. Don't dwell on it, just make on or more world studies classed mandatory in school and problem solved.

                                                The education poople get in schools? No one taught us about co-operative greed.

                                                  It seems like every one is refering to POLITICANS when trying to get there point across about stupidity,well WHO ELECTED THOSE POLITICANS??

                                                  Just how stupid have we bocome,well allowing two so called REVERANDS,(AL & JESSE) to decide what is right and what isnt,then ,yes ,we are getting dumber.

                                                    Funny twist of fate. I took several of these responses, and have shown them to my friends. Every one of my friends had the same response: "Don't these idiot posters know that the clip was edited?" How does it feel to know that some of you are in the same class as those you try to make fun of.

                                                    Heh, Heh

                                                    What a joke, a bunch of idiots calling another bunch of idiots stupid. Thanks for making my day.
