Not the smartest tools in the shed
In the land of Oz there is a TV show called the "Chasers war on everything".
http://www.abc.net.au/tv/chaser/war/ A few episodes ago they sent someone to the USA and quizzed random people in the streets as to the location of Mt Rushmore, they were then able to convince more Americans than they should have been able that it was actually in Australia. Does anyone else have any "not so bright" tales to tell? | ||||||||

But as Guru said, we don't want to offend any more Americans  (P.S. How many American users do with have?????) | ||||||||

They just get smarter
A recent survey reported that 12% of Americans believed that Joan of Arc was Noah's wife

Chaser
Go 'The Chaser'
Although i think if people didnt seem so dumb they wouldnt get 'picked on' i'm sure it's not just Americans who have people who seem like they should have been born blonde (i work with a few of them) | ||||||||
