When Leno does his "man on the street interviews" do you grow concerned about the quality of education, and the future of our country?

On Leno they just did a segment w/ 2 younger girls at the Smithsonian, they were complete dolts.

Come on now, do you REALLY think they'd air the smart ones they talked to?

They looked for the funniest interviews and went with it, just so happens that STUPID/DUMB is funny.

Makes me happy cause my quest of complete world domination will be that much easier as long as the populace is full of idiots. I mean after all people shouldn't be smart enough to think for themselves, they should let the government do it.


































WTF??? Thought I was a Dumbocrat...err...Demorat...errr..Democrat there for a second.

Hell yes it worries me but what do you expect when schools spend more time worrying about how a kid perceives his/her self worth than they do actually teaching them?

Yeah, It is kinda disappointing hearing their stupid respones. I didn't know people could be THAT dumb, and uneducated. They can't answer simple questions sometimes, which is really surprising.
I wonder if they do so on purpose to make it sound funny, or their show just picks the dumbest responses representative of only like 5% of the population. If they're really just regular people off the streets, and there is no selective process, It's a sad day in history..

he either pays them to act stupid, or he edits out all the ones that actually know it to find the dumb ones.

nope, i dont worry about lies that ppl make up. And even if it is true, it has been the same way for whole human evolution, we too are looked upon as morons to some and that's just the way it is. And that is what our humanity is about.

Of course they don't show anyone with the correct answers...boring! Not to mention that anyone can be a bit distracted if they're not used to &quot;lights, camera, action.&quot; You try quickly remembering every fact you know at any second. ;)

I remember a while back there were some people who couldn't name the Vice President, and some others who confused George Washington with Abe Lincoln.

Of course they just edit it for the funny clips. Do you really think it would be funny if someone answered the question correctly?

If they asked you questions the answers to which were important to them, you would look like an idiot too.

I fear our future because of all the uneducated, ignorant, plain moronic people coming from my generation.
