Are People THIS Stupid?
eski \| 7:26 PM on 11.28.2007	23 comments

Normally I would post a video then have a long and well thought out paragraph explaining my perspectives, but this one just is too much.

And yes, I do know that Are you smarter than a 5th grader is just a scheme to humiliate rednecks and blondes in front of millions.

Anyone else notice how the questions seem to get harder every year? I don't remember learning about capitals of countries in Europe until the 7th grade.

Is this post awesome? Vote it up!

Short answer: Yes people are that stupid. God I hate that show with a passion.

Oh god, idiocy is permeating out of my computer screen. I can understand not knowing the capitol of hungary, but not knowing whether whether france is a country or not? or thinking Europe is a country? God, please tell me she was joking.

That kid could trick her into having sex. That woman is quite possibly the stupidest person ever.

"He tricked me"

Doesn't seem like it's hard. I could probably trick her by telling her I have a delicious corn dog in my pants, right behind the zipper.

I didn't read the post, watch the video, or read any comments, but I can conclusively answer your question without a doubt in my mind, yes... people are that stupid.

I should show this to my Hungarian relatives. I'm sure they'd be very encouraged by the interest Americans show in their post-communist utopia. Well, it's not really a utopia, but I do get free food, drink and a room at my cousin's hotel! I love Hungary. And I hate dumb Americans.

I honestly don't remember ever learning about this. It might just be because I didn't care much about it and just completely ignored it, but at the time I was still getting good grades so I doubt that's the case. I really don't remember being taught this at all that early in school. I don't remember being taught stuff like this until middle school. Hell, I don't even remember having geography until at least 6th grade. Maybe it's something new they're doing in schools these days or it varies from location to location.

I guess I�m the only person who actually enjoys Are You Smarter Than A Fifth Grader?, aren�t I...I also enjoy Jeopardy and I watched Who Wants To Be A Millionaire back when Regis still did it (I like testing my knowledge of miscellanea). I remember seeing Kellie Pickler on American Idol (yes, it�s a guilty pleasure...sue me) and thinking, �She can�t possibly be this dumb, can she? It must be the producers of the show doing that to get ratings.� But no, it�s true. When you�re at least twenty years old and you say things like, �I thought Europe was a country,� there�s no hope for you.

about me
I'm into a bit of everything. At the moment I only have a PS2 and a Gamecube, but I'm hoping to get a job soon, so I can start collecting more stuff. I'm a very big Super Smash Brothers Melee player, and I've been playing the game almost at a competitive level for a year now. I'm here just to read/try to spread the word of gaming around, I've been just recently introduced to Destructoid, so I consider myself a newbie. I do however hope to become a regular in this community.
