WOW, were they questioning a hobo at one point..? yeah but anyways a lot of Americans are ignorant, seems like it doesn't it? That's not to say that we all are but, I mean come on KFC? the Berlin Wall? and there were 3 world wars?? yeah...those people were on crack right there
I recall the US states quiz that went around the internet a while back. You had to place each state within 10 miles (or whatever) of its correct location. The average score was about 30-35 our of 50.
The fact that the average american only knows 3/5 of where their country belongs is just pathetic.
For the record, I was 20 miles off on Nebraska. Got a 49 out of 50.
