Talking to Americans

Mmmmm... Poutine....




Ironically, poutine is easily available in many parts of Florida I'm told.

<< A young man at New York University is outraged when told that 70 percent of Canadian Grade 7 students can't name their congressman or find their home states on a map (because Canada has neither states nor a Congress).
&quot;It's disgraceful that people are unaware of the world they live in,&quot; he says with disgust.

Wish I'd been able to see this.

I´v never seen this show but my view on this would probably be the same as John Thompson thinks.


<< &quot;very funny, but not very fair.&quot; >>


A bit like jaywalking.

Well, yes and no. Some of the stuff isn't very fair, but some of the stuff is just so blatantly obvious that anyone show know that.

well like in Jay leno

&quot;Where did the Frence Revolution take place?&quot;
&quot;England&quot;

So weird that so many people guess instead of admiting that they dont know the answer. They look far more stupid guessing than by saying they dont know.

I hate that skit.
Totally unfair, he could ask the same questions around here and would find enough stupid reponses to fill a show.
I don't think Mercer even graduated from high school so you could fill volumes with what he doesn't know.

I am an american, and I'd like to see that show. Sounds pretty damn funny to me.

 

[sandorski]

Yea, those skits are funny, but I'll also agree that some of them are not fair. As posted above, some should be obvious though.

I agree. Regardless of nationality, I always enjoy laughing at another person's ignorance and stupidity.

I dunno, some of those skits seem faked or staged to me, like people knowingly saying bad answers just to get on TV?

Plus sometimes they ask questions that I don't know the answer to, but even then, I don't care what the answer is. I think one time they went around asking how many quarts are in a gallon. Hell, I don't know off the top of my head and it's not exactly a life critical issue to me.
