Yeah, this could be done anywhere. I've chatted with a lot of people from other countries that had no idea where Texas is, what currency Japan uses, what sparked the first Gulf War, or who Vladimir Putin is. Whatever, the Lilliputians want to have their fun I say let them. I wouldn't be making too much fun of those people since I would be willing to bet a majority of posters on this site would fail a similar pop quiz (though maybe not as badly).

As a side not, John Howard is awesome.

Wow just wow.

Sad commentary as human existance as a whole.

Yeah the world is full of idiots that is very suprising. But americans seems to just think about North America but then again USA is huge.

That is true...what do Americans care if most of them don't even see the opposite coast of the country let alone a foreign nation...

Not an excuse, but a cause perhaps...

it is not about STUPIDITY

it is about knowledge, not about being clever or not.
they (you too?) like to call this : "general knowledge" ("culture generale" in french)
that is obvious NOT so general ...

and you can do this on the whole planet, not only USA !!!

it is just you expect USA people ("1st WW country") to know more things than just football teams and car names.

In the video they dont show ALL the people that are making "good" answer to the questions they ask.
A biaised "study" for sure lol.

Overall, it is still funny to listen.

It's not supposed to be some scientific study...

Still...the pointing to Australia for every country on the map was freakin hilarious, and every person should know basic geography...even if they didn't know where Sri Lanka was, they could have at least recognized where Australia should be hehe. It's a freakin continent!

I am just wondering how many % of the american people go to college or high school? I know that Sweden got the highest % in world. If we could get that chart this thread could be very interesting.

Yea i watched this video awhile ago and it still blows me away about how uneducated some people can be =/.
that jogging guy cracked me up so bad "Which one was throwing the rocks?" hahahah
