    Most puny earthlings could not locate their insignificant little sun on a 3 dimensional holo-map of their inconsequential little galaxy.

    Their tiny brains scarcely capable of keeping their feeble bodies running for more than a few galactic standard years.

    Of course, they labeled the countries wrong. Anybody who doesn't know geography would go with the country labeled with the name they are looking for. I don't know if anybody else is really any different. Can you point out Togo if the names of African countries were scrambled? I realize Australia is a different case, since it is a continent, but keep in mind that our country was peopled with indians, named because an Italian sailing a Spanish ship didn't know geography. We are just following his example.

    We don't need to know geography, as long as our cruise missiles and nukes do we're good.

    Well some of the people rescued from New Orleans didn't know where Arkansas is and it's the next state over. Of course they never show the 95% of the population that knows their geography because that's no fun.

    I don't like all the comments about the southeast United States though (mostly on the other forum from whence the clip came). I don't live there anymore, but I always thought it was funny to see all the kids from the northeast come down to my high school in Georgia and not be able to keep up. I also think it is funny how we in America always hear about how smart oriental people are. When I was in university those were the people that were always trying to copy my homework and projects.

    From my experiences in Australia, I'm positive you could do the same thing there. You just have to go down to Footscray (Melbourne suburb) metro station and interview about 20 people to get 10 bogus responses.
