We have these "stupid people" videos with giggling girls and empty staring boys over here as well, although it seems that some US citizens are...uhm...even less interested in the world outside their own than Europeans.
But ignorant people are everywhere. I'm no Einstein, but some of my friends - especially those with built-in newspaper denial - are sooo dumb and narrow-minded when it comes to topics outside their small world. Whenever they unasked start a political discussion and want to convince me of their opinion with stunning arguments ("don't vote the green party on Sunday! If they ever win, we're all doomed!"), I think "oh, here we go again" and bite my tongue. My next question is usually "and how are the kids doing?"
