Wrong kind of palm trees for Miami Beach.

That was nine of the most depressing minutes I've seen lately.

K&R!

14. OMG! I almost passed out watching this!
If you'd ever wondered who the 30%ers are, who STILL support our sh*t for brains, so-called President, these are them.

Lord or God(s) help us all.:hide:

15. Some of that is funny...
But most of it is lame. It's no different than the "Jaywalking" segments they do on the tonight show. You never see anyone giving an intelligent answer and there's no way everyone he asked these questions of didn't know the answer. Not everyone was stupid enough to think the continent of Australia was S. Korea just cuz they put that name on it.

At least one of those pranks was kinda unfair. I mean I wouldn't have recognized... who was it, John Howard either. I mean cuz I don't know every world leader by heart I'm totally ignorant? I think not.

At least when Leno does this and people give a stupid answer that reflects on that individual. I think it's underhanded and plain dishonest for these people to claim their exclusion of those in the know and highlighting of those who aren't is a true representation of Americans as a whole.

16. oh, come on
they might not know the specific name of the Prime Minister of Australia, but these idiotic clowns seemed to accept that some dope just wandering around in his street clothes was really the Prime Minister. That's the point the interviewer is trying to make, not whether they actually knew his name. More than idiotic, these people are completely gullible, and probably send money to Nigerian bankers through email, too.

17. My point remains the same...
This little "All Americans are idiots" skit is garbage. Not everyone got the answer wrong, but it wouldn't be funny so he didn't show that. Using that tactic to represent our collective intellects to the world is just pandering and dishonest, pure and simple.

18. I have long held the opinion that people in this country are stupid,
and after watching this video I have decided I was wrong.

They are not just stupid they are TOTALLY FUCKING BATSHIT STUPID.
