have a laugh if you want guys, the iceing on the cake was when they branded australia, on a map as North Korea asking where in the world should be targeted next, nobody said a thing.....

How many Eiffel Towers are there?

i'de say about 10?

[Sapper]

I couldn't watch the whole thing. It was too painful.

"What's a country that starts with U?"
"Ummmm"
"How about United States of America"

[charles_wif_xf]

I saw that when it played on TV. I was shocked at the blatant idiocy of Americans. Then I found myself asking the question, is it their fault or the fault of the "system" for turning them into morose stumps.

[M14A-Mclaren]

I find that more scary than funny.

[Falc'man]

If Bush is their leader, what do you expect?

[JACK250]

Hahaha IDIOTS!!!

[niko]

i didn't realise north korea (australia) was so much bigger than south korea (tasmania)



still can't help but chuckle

[Psycho Chicken]

Funny yes, but I bet you could do something similar in Australia with ease.

[pauljh74]

What about the old guy who they asked - How many World Wars have there been? He answered 3. The guy looked almost old enough to have lived during one of them!
It has been pointed out elsewhere that alot of Americans have little idea about the world outside their borders. Their blind faith in George Dubya is scary. The fact he's from the state of Texas wouldn't convince me he must be right, rather that he's a ********** idiot judging by the respondents.

[YuGoStaR]

Dear god, that is appalling.

His approval rating in the US is at 30%, one of the lowest in history. So I wouldnt regard it as blind faith.

[XRQTR]

My favorite was......Where is the Berlin wall??

I think the people of America are there own biggest threat, judging by that they need to invade Texas first and work back up from the deep south. out:

If Texas was a country it would have the 13th largest GDP, nearly 30% greater than the whole of Australia (despite having a similar population). For a lot of 'dumb' people, they are sure doing well for themselves.

That's only because of the oil, Texas Tea boiiyy

[Redrum]

Dumb or not, they are the only true Super Power!

Its only about 10% of Texas' economy.

EDIT: Just to correct what I said previously, it would be the 10th largest economy in the World, not 13th.

China'll have em soon if they're not careful.

Anyway, off from that...

Wow. Is all I can say.

Like, I know there's ignorant people in Australia too, but not even knowing what Australia was on the map? Sheesh.

[AU2PWR]

America , Land of the Complete IDIOT

They can give it back to Mexico so they can invade all over again.
The dumb insular American may be a stereotype Ive met a heap of em,a few related to me,and the steroeotype fits..

[4.9 EF Futura]

Lol.... and dont the America haters just love it!!!

Anyone considered the fact that this is satire? Dont believe everything you see on TV... you might just wind up as ignorant as your beloved americans...

I'd rather be an ignorant american than a hypocritical australian

I lived there for years, the video is accurate. Their schools are designed around teaching american history, geography, sociology. Their media empires are based around american news. The rest of the world is largely unimportant to the average american.

Not the same but Street Talk on The Footy Show is similar.

[HLC]

oh dear.... that was the FUNNIEST thing i have seen in a LONG LONG LONG time.

[Ford_Boy]

im sure most aussies would recognise america on a map and would know that its a hoax if it said north korea. dont they learn anything about the outside world? why on earth would sri lanka be a threat to usa? its ridiculous. i remember awhile back i was on a chat room and this girl thought australia was desert and there are kangaroos on the street. i told her we had the olympic games here and she had no idea i then gave her a link from google and she was shocked to have seen that we have majour cities like sydney and melbourne. i mean how can anyone think that countries are still out there with no majour cities?

[Ford_Boy]

and it still doesnt explain how someone can believe that star wars is based on a true story? wtf is wrong with them ?
