About Me

edit

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.

Are People THIS Stupid?
eski \| 7:26 PM on 11.28.2007	25 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.

ToxicPrince

Oh lawd.

Justifiable genocide?

aborto thefetus

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.

wario67

" is France a country? " lol

kwaselow

"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 don't know where budapest is D:

ToxicPrince

It's in Europe.

MrRed

She's not even ashamed of it!

@ vexed

I'm with you!

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.

well to be fair i couldn't remember it at first but i remembered the answer like right before mr jeff foxworthy said it so i'm still confident in my intelligence

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.

I'd hit it.
