Oh god, this is epic fail... I am an American as well but I at least knew the anwser to every single question here, and I'm a teenager...You see, even though I'm american, I'm hispanic descent, so I try to identify more with them than I do with other Americans... And to you guys saying only smart people are foreign... the top... I'd say... 20% of Americans(where i am) are significantly smarter than the rest. And that's by like.. 40 IQ points.
omg,just realized that im very smart in comparsion to the yanks,and ahhhh lol to think france is in the southern emisphere...and what should i say about about the respect for other nations when a god damn idiot says that the turban is a diper....lol
I would like to see this unedited. Too many cutaways and answers without hearing the question. Must be nice to walk around and ask questions only to play tape that displays your point of view. No doubt there are some idiots out there. This is the usual liberal bullshit, and not typical of the Americans I associate with.
O.M.G I've been reading through the comments and the American's that have tried to defend this video have made themselves look dumb. "wickir" The Cold War was WWIII...er not it wasn't that's why people call it The Cold War not World War 3. Sure it involved a lot of people, but it still wasn't a World War. Oh, and the brightest minds come to the West? EXACTLY The actual Americans are dumb, the only bright people are FOREIGN. Okay, this vid doesn't count for the entire population but I know A LOT of yanks are like this. You have no idea about world issues because all you broadcast on your tabloid news channels is stuff about your own damn country. Most people don't even realise America was made good by Brits..George Washington being one of them. He had more Brit in his blood than yank. United Kingdom..oh dear. North Korea as Autralia and not noticing? Oh dear... They just said the first country that came into their tiny minds on the 'who to invade next' part.
Fact: all questions are easy if you know the answer Fact: the map had Australia named as North Korea. How many people on this board could HONESTLY stick a flag in Korea or Sri Lanka when put on the spot in the middle of the street, with a camera pointed at you? Yes, some of the answers are hilariously and unthinkably wrong, but does anybody seriously think this kind of "study" can be used to conclude that a whole nation is stupid. I'm not American and I could name friends/colleagues off the top of my head who might struggle under the same circumstances. The only worrying part of this whole thing is that some people are so short-sighted that they jump to spewing xenophobic nonsense about a whole group of people based on the actions of a few.
