    This is from the Chaser Network. They're an aussie comedy group that do a news parody show (somewhat akin to the Daily Show or Colbert Report but with entirely fake news), so this is either a work or they've harassed people until they've gotten together a large enough section of idiots to put together a skit.

    Not that I doubt people can be that stupid (Hell, I've met plenty that make this lot look like intellectual giants), just that Chaser are most certainly a comedy institute first and foremost.

    Hypnos got it. While there is no shortage of stupid people around, most of them can at LEAST answer "What is the religion of Israel" and "Name a country that starts with U" and "How many sides does a triangle have?"
    As I was walking down the stair,
    I met a man who wasn't there.
    He wasn't there again today.
    I wish, I wish he'd go away.

    Even if this isn't staged, as Hypnos said it might be, it doesn't really say anything about America as a whole. I mean...you can make any country look pretty moronic by only presenting the stupidest among its populace.

    Though...that triangle question...oh man... XD

    I would know where to go if I was to ask people to make them appear moronic.

    I don't know if he still does it because I stopped watching a long time ago, but here in the US, Jay Leno of the Tonight Show did a similar comedy bit, called JayWalking, where he has someone ask random people on the street common-knowledge questions.

    So, here in the US, a lot of people have seen that bit and understand how it works: give correct answers and get edited out of the clip; give wrong answers, especially funny ones, and you get your 15 seconds of fame.

    Also, some of those people, just didn't seem like they were really trying.

    It's retarded how people have this general stereotype of people. I don't walk around saying British people drink tea and eat crumpets and do all that other stereotypical shit. Fuck people on the internet who hate america. Sorry. I'm tired and cranky... But yeah. Like it's said earlier. anyone can wlak around and ask people and eventually get dumb answers. The black dude was pretty cool. Looked like he knew what he was tlaking about too. Knew his countries pretty well to name them without chekcing ht eboard. Goddamn I'm tired. I'm reffereing ot he bum dude btw. Off to sleep now...

    Of course English people know where bacon comes from. From the shop, where else?
