Americans Are NOT Stupid(with subtitles)

hmmmmmm
This is biased until average citizens who are living their everyday lives from a different country are posted.
Matter of fact, I would like at least 30 countries compared in this nature.

The crack heads down there are that aware?
lol
Still, thats YOUR island.
I need 29 more countries.
BTW...what kind of TV programming is down there and how importnant is the boob tube?
This shit was funny, but lets be honest, they probably only showed the 1-5% of those who were way out in left field. I answered all the questions without a blink. The press will show you want they want to show you so that you will think the way they want you to think.
This has to be staged.....
"were we even in the Vietnam war?"
Off with her head

Seen this on TV. I'm amazed at the stupidity of some people. Yet that was just clever video editing.

Took the words right out my mouth. I watched this vid and answered everything correctly besides the question about "the coalition of the willing" and where "Sri Lanka" is...they "picked" and "chose" samples for this story for comedy, sort of how Jay Leno does for his "skits"...
In other words "I dont believe you, you need more people."

To be fair, we get alot of international programming. The real BBC not BBC America and all kinds of Indian and Dutch and Caribbean and South American. Also people do not watch tv as much as in the states. Our schooling is alot tougher and more comprehensive than the states as well. Not just my island but most of them. So I could add in most of the other Caribbean islands with my country and we have just about 30 countries.Dr. Munhihausen II said:
St Maarten, St Martin, St. Kitts, Nevis, Anguilla, Antigua, Tortola, Barbados, Jamaica, St. Vincent, Grenada, St. Lucia, Dominica, Martinique, Guadaloupe, Trinidad, Tobago, Saba, St. Eustatius, Bermuda, Aruba, Bonaire, Curacao (ok 23)

Ah HA!
See, the existence of mind numbing entertainment is why our awareness is sub par making other countries appear exceptional.
American broadcasting stations literally feed their audiences sensationalized methods of news coverage.
.....but what is news?
Was Brittany Spears head shaving "news"?
Was Nicole Ritchie's death "news"?
Oh wait....Ron Imus...that was "news" wasnt it?
My point is that since we are bombarded by bullshit stories on a constant basis...the cup which runneths over of bullshiteth leaves no room for local, national, or international news with substance.
And since America is an extremely large country bordered by only 2 neighbors (really just one) and two very large bodies of water...we are unusually egocentric.
If the interviewer would have asked those same people about Brittany Spears, or Nicole Ritchie...we would have seen the opposite results.

I tossed my TV when it broke in 2002!
Now, I have a tv that I use to watch the local news from time to time and downloaded movies.
I am one of very few people that chooses to depend upon the internet for news.
Sadly, I am more aware than like 95%+ of the people that I meet.
...That speaks volumes about TV's news media.

Well Ill be....intelligent lady!
news media is notorious for pretty much editing any content they get into a lie that fits what they want it to say.
ever notice how on the local news, that when they interveiw almost anybody you they always cut the audio so you only hear what they want you to hear.

ever notice how when some big shit is going on in the govt such as new laws being passed or something, there is always some big celebrity scandal that takes up all the news stations all day so nobody hears about what really happened?iron mask said:

Word is bond ma, this shit is everyday life here in America. People here are ever so sheltered and naive to what's going on outside of thier little world it's pathetic. In places where the get the rich get richer, the poor get poorer. This is one of the richest countries in the world, you do the math.
It's funny how a majority of people on here find this "spoofed" or "staged." All you'd have to do is walk outside with a video camera and ask the same set of questions. Watch how similar your responses would turn up.
Peace, and excellent post.
1,000th post worthy.
Look I've had people here ask me if the Caribbean is a country in Africa. I have also had people ask what continent Africa was on. I have even met people who wanted to know what state Canada was in.DJCandle said:Word is bond ma, this shit is everyday life here in America.

Forget about your average American(even many black ones) knowing who people like Marcus Garvey or Toussaint L'Overture or Paul Bogle were. Many don't even know who Hugo Chavez is Yes, I argue with American tourists all the time at home. They say dumb shit like its so sad the poverty in my country. Guess what? WE DON'T HAVE ANY POVERTY!!!! Nobody is homeless and everyone eats well. These dumb fucks just don't understand our lifestyle. We don't need a bunch of fancy material shit to show off. Our lives are rich with different things like family and culture. I have to curse these people out and tell them to check their own country for the poverty with all the millions of homeless and starving there. OK rant finished.
What the fuck is CNNN? Look at the fucking logo in the bottom right corner.

yes girl. And i also hate the fact that these tourist come over here and because we dont look like a mini america we arn't developed wdf?!
There is nothing like visiting another caribbean country...its great and its so relaxing. THe most america is for to me... is shopping thats all.
Another thing i would like to see in my country is that we start to produce some more products and stop with all the importing from america.

Ive realised that ppl in america have become so isolate and so selfish. Ppl walkin around vexed as hell over nothing. Culture and family is the best thing.

Ort(alright) den same with me. I does normally stay inside or go in the park and watch ppl play Basket ball... it does be all good until a couple days pass.. then u start u get homesick. All that noise on mornings annoys me tho. The last time i went tho.. i found the noise of trains at night really relaxing tho.
Y is it that the as soon as u mention a caribbean country to most american they think it is part of jamaica? That shit annoys me
Cause they IGNORANT. I get it all the time too here a bunch of sterotypical they don't even know shit about Jamaica type of comments. Haha they think I eat coconut battered fried shrimp and drink pina coladas evey daqy all day or somethingTwistyaaliyah said:

Most americans dont really consider other countries that arent doing it big. When you're giving the illusion that your on the winning team.....some dont feel the need to look outside the box.
