Interviewer: kofi annan is a drink, true or false?

Idiot 1: true

Idiot 2: Coffie is what?

 

 

I especially like the guy who thinks Tony Blair is Linda Blair's brother.

You are shocked by this? Hell, Jay Leno's built a television career on this stuff.

Yeah, I'm sure no one got any of the questions right, either.

[The Metal Maniac 0]

Even though you have to assume that some people got all these questions right, the fact that ANYONE thinks that there was three world wars is just plain SAD.

It's a good argument for not allowing certain people to vote, though most of those people probably don't anyway.

[Jingus 0]

Of course there were people who got the questions right. Those people just got edited out of the footage we saw. Why bother showing intelligent citizens who know their shit? That doesn't draw ratings, or at least that's the media's theory. (The WWE's theory too, now that I think about it.)

If they watch enough Fox News and Newt Gingrich they could easily count the present as the Third. I think some guy on CNN is desperate for WW3 too.

[Dobbs 3K 0]

Yeah, I can't believe how many "Is this the start of World War 3?" stories we saw a few weeks ago.

 

Like I've said previously, I doubt people in 1941 sat around asking "Is this the second Great War?" I'm sure it was pretty damn obvious. To compare the current so-called "War on Terror" to either of the previous World Wars is pretty asinine.

Not as funny as Rick Mercer's "Talking To Americans" from several years ago.

You shouldn't really expect foreigners to know your country's history, though

 

Plus, it's fucking Canada.

We used to have this contest at this pizza place I worked at, if you were Canadian and you won a cash prize you had to pass some math test before you could collect, heh.

[Guest Felonies!]

I think some states have that law too, where you can't win a lottery without a test of skill, so they ask you what 2+2 is.

 

Also, yeah, Canada's a great place and all, but its history isn't very compelling.

[The Metal Maniac 0]

Yeah, but "Talking to Americans" wasn't history questions. It was things like "78% of Canadian students can't find their home *state* on a map; what do you think of that?" That was one of my favourites mostly for the one guy who went off about "How can anyone be so ignorant of the world around them?", and the little kid who, while his mother was pondering the question, went "HEY! Canada has provinces!"

 

"Do you think the seal hunt in Saskatchewan should be banned?"

 

Then you've got people saying things like "Congratulations Canada, on getting electricity!"

 

I mean, I can understand your average American not knowing when Canada became a nation, but telling George W. Bush that Prime Minister Jean Poutine supports his campaign, and hearing Bush say what a great person he is, etc....that's funny.

Quoted for truth.

More than fair.

I heard Canada is finally letting the Irish vote.

I took a year of Canadian history. Czech's right

Hey, we managed to destroy the White House. America still hasn't had the sack to come at the Parliment buildings.

[Slayer 0]

You mean the British destroyed the White House

[LaParkaMarka 0]

I'm Canadian, and I can't stand when people here take credit for burning down the White House. It's pathetic, and goes against everything Canadians stand for. It's also funny that it comes up hand-in-hand with bitching about how 'ignorant' Americans are.

[Smartly Pretty 0]

I laughed at the KFC question. Because the interviewer is full of shit. If KFC was founded in Kentucky, it wouldn't be called Kentucky Fried Chicken...it'd just be Fried Chicken.

Curling?

So there are a bunch of dumb fucks in America? So what. Move along.

We stand for whatever everybody else stands for.

 

Q: How do you get 10 Canadians in a phone booth?

 

A: Tell them that it's the right thing to do.

Ya, but I mean, Rick Mercer also made fun of governers, George Bush, and even a Harvard professor who teaches in world affairs.

Good. Public officals deserve nothing but our contempt and disdain.

The founder of KFC was from Kentucky, and the business was based out of there, but the first restaraunt apparently opened in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Wrong. Get back to The Battle of Los Angeles and step away from the keyboard.
