Americans are Not Stupid

Oh...That was almost painful to watch. I wonder what percentage of
the people asked had to be edited out due to the fact that they where
well informed??? I'm assuming it was pretty high....

I agree, though these types of vid's make me laugh, I always feel bad for the poor soul making a fool of themselves.
I'ld like to see one done around Toronto. I bet there would be gaff's a plenty. Just ask questions regarding Canadian history. That always gets the supposedly well educated...
;-)
How 'bout just current events outside of the GTA, but still inside
Canada's borders?8O Many folks would have to be edited out due
to the fact that they're very well informed....but it would be interesting...
Anyone who thinks the same or similar questions (in appropriate context) asked of Canadians, or for that matter the snooty Brits, would have been any different, is dreaming. In technicolour.
With sufficient malice and expert editing one can make any and all people of the world look stupid.
It would probably require less malice and less editing to make the Brits look like the a$$holes of the world. Just look what they let their country become with unlimited immigration. What could be stupider than that?r

If you are going to criticize it, perhaps it would help if you got your facts straight. CNNNN was Australian and a damn fine show. Far from copying Rick Mercer, they probably have never heard of him.

Well ... there's the fellow I watched one blistering humid day struggling in his climate-controlled Cadillac to get into a snowmobile suit because he was in Canada ... or the guy who went into a ditch, spilling a 45 gallon drum of gasoline because he didn't think there were any gas stations north of "Tranna" ... or the guy stuck under a 3.2 metre bridge bashing away at his calculator keys hoping to find some space to free the 102 inch high trailer.... That's only three of 300 million though.

Typically "patriotic" Canadian (i.e. Anti-American), unsubstantiated urban legend nonsense.
Right along with the crap that American beer is in any way inferior to Canadian beer.

You cannot possibly convince me that Budweiser or Coors is anywhere near as good as...oh, right, Labatts and Molson aren't Canadian anymore, and Bud and Coors are the brands they're pushing.
Pass me another Moosehead.
Sure, that clip is funny, but you could do the same thing anywhere in the world. There are plenty of knowledgeable Americans, plenty of stupid Canadians. Still, it's pretty funny seeing people who don't even know how many sides are on a triangle.
First of all, anyone who claim to be an expert on Canadian Beer, have you ever tasted the BEST Canadian Beer Brewing can offer? Namely products of the Half Pints Brewing Company of Winnipeg, Manitoba?
No, I did not think so!
Secondly, it is a lead pipe cinch that those who so cavalierly dismiss and denigrate any American beer, never tasted Rolling Rock or Samuel Adams. They measure up favourably to Moosehead, which is a permanent and favourite resident in my beer fridge. Along with Alexander Keith. But please, do not bother me with Molson.
And I still need to see date-stamped pictures showing American showing up in Canada with skis in July.
The garbage expressed in post #11 is - hopefully - just one on 35 million.

1960s, Montreal, saw skis on cars in July with my on eyes on several occasions but I have no pictures. One even asked me how to get to the nearest ski hill. But that was then ans this is now. I don't think it happens much anymore since Americans embraced Red Green.
nope, couldn't be. if you ask people like yukon, that's just you making up urban legends to denigrate americans.
On the plus side, since the advent of the internet, people have easy access to weather trend information, and we see less and less of that sort of thing. But, what we tended to see around here was people who were heading north to Alaska, and assuming they'd hit frozen tundra as they got close, rather than assuming Canada was all igloos.
"nope, couldn't be. if you ask people like yukon, that's just you making up urban legends to denigrate americans."
American can be just as cruel. One of their favourite is, especially in Florida: "What is the difference between a Canadian and a canoe?" A canoe tips.

Just some stuff I've seen - the antics of tourists and the ill-informed. It happens on both sides on any border. If you see "Anti-American" in it, you must be one terribly hateful and bitter little person. There is a much broader world out there when one takes the grumpy ol' man blinders off. Amazing what one views with eyes open and mouth closed. Sorry they don't come with links for our other resident perfect person. Why don't you be like your other half and put me on Ignore?
"Garbage" indeed.... How do you manage to poop and speak from the same orifice?
