Re: Americans!

Sixty-five percent of Britons don't know in which US city the hit musical "Chicago" is set in, according to a nationwide survey for an upcoming TV quiz show.

Another 57 percent didn't know where the celebrated television soap opera "Dallas" was set, and two-thirds were equally at a loss to identify the city at the heart of the Roger Whittaker ballad "Streets of London".

YouGov, a market research organisation that uses on-line panels, questioned 1,000 respondents for a quiz show on Channel 4 titled "Beat the Nation" that goes on air next Monday. Its findings were released Friday.

The poll also indicated that 67 percent of Britons don't know when World War II ended, 64 percent didn't know where the French Alps were, and 70 percent didn't know where the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra is based.

Almost one in ten Brits thinks that a country called Luvania will be joining the EU this weekend, according to a survey carried out by telecoms outfit One.Tel.

The company invited punters to correctly identify the 10 new member states, and added the fictional nation as a bit of a jape. Eight per cent of the 2,500 who took part picked the sun-kissed republic of Luvania.

One.Tel spokeswoman Carol Barnes said: "People aren't generally aware. They're more involved in their day-to-day lives rather than the bigger picture of what is going on in the EU."

Which can be taken to read either: "They don't give a tinker's cuss about the EU", or "They're thick". Or both.

Still, at least we have not yet read a Daily Mail leader about flood of one-legged, dole scrounging Luvanian gypsies amassing at the border ready to descend on Britain in an orgy of benefit stripping. Yet.

so. what's your point, again? :lol:

Re: Americans!

^^^^^ :ROFLMAO:

Re: Americans!

so is that ignorance or stuidity?

Re: Americans!

^^^ I second that. Your going to find stupid people no matter where you go!

Re: Americans!

the whole world is dumb. just look at the last year. after 4 years of the whole world screaming about the war, they all re-elect the guys who took them there. :BangHead:

Re: Americans!

I remember reading articles before the War on Terror began saying that like only 15% of American troops could point out Afghanistan on a map, and less than that for Iraq, etc.

London's the one with the Leaning Tower of Pizza, right?

No you idiot that's in Moscow, London has the Great Wall of China.

Re: Americans!

The majority of Americans are stupid IMO,

Not [you] though.

Re: Americans!

Americans aren't not dumb. Get a clue.

Re: Americans!

well unfortunately most americans don't realize that there is a whole world of music outside of mtv too. Ignorance does run rampant. It might just have been someone from a small city that asked your friend that. I have no clue and i'm not going to try to back up what that person said...it's just utter stupidity to think that people from the UK speak another language.

Re: Americans!

its even worse/just as bad to think that english is an american language rather than a language that americans have bastardized. imo. criminal.

Re: Americans!

^^ are u serious right now??

Re: Americans!

Most people on this planet are unintelligent. Its not limited to America.

Re: Americans!

[quote=palmer]Most people on this planet are unintelligent. Its not limited to America.[/quote]

Exactly! Before i used to always make fun of the americans for being sketchy. Now i see the sketch everywhere in the world.. It's sad..

Re: Americans!

^^^ That is the truth.

Look at soccer hooligans. Heard about some dude who promised he would cut his balls off if his "football" team, they did...and he did. And American's are dumb? It's everywhere.

Funny how I've never been asked a question in one of these crazy polls you always read about. I can't think of one in recent memory me or anyone I know couldn't answer correctly in .215987165 seconds. Targeting trailer parks in MO and homeless people is going to give you slanted results right? :roll:

It's just like people thinking rednecks are only in the South. There are rednecks all over the world. Maybe not the barefoot, toothless, backwater American type, but people with the same mentality.

Re: Americans!

THANKS UNDERGRN for goign through all of that..

I cant believe reading through this bulshit, alot of you are so against americans.. lol even our moderators on this site..i mean cmon you cant be so pigheaded. Yes there are dumbfucks in america, but they are everywhere. Alot of so called americans, are immigrants from countries all of you are from. So next time you want to just put Americans down, think.. For some stupid bitch to actualy say that, about london or whatever is fuckin ridiculous, seirously, but there are some dumb fuckin ppl, and there are ppl with mental problems everywhere. I hope no one takes offense to any of this, including you moderators. Instead understand that im not disparaging any of you im just tryin to debunk your accusations.
