I find this the most embarassing thing ever. I knew there were tons of studies done and a miniscule amount of americans no where Iraq is, the country we are at war with. Now I found that only 5 in 10 americans can point out New York State. Apparently, the U.K. knows more about American geography than America.

First video on http://my.yahoo.com/

I would have gotton Iraq, Isreal, New York and probably Ohio. Afganistan I might.

American's must be the dumbest people ever when it comes to geography.
All they know about the UK is that there is a place called London. They ask where i am from and i don't say wales much as they don't know where that is so i say england and they say "Is that near london"...are they stupid or what.

And they all stare at you because you have a diff accent... i walked in this diner place and the waitresses stood by our table and kept talking about our accent...strange people!

I have always wondered about American Intelligence... If you know their racist remarks like Frog legs and the british having bad teeth, live in castles and drink alot of tea, then surely they should know where the countries they have the cheek to offend are located?

And as Mentor said, in a video we watched, Austrailia contains North and South Korea, AND the map the Americans pointed at had the names of the countries on anyway, which must mean they are blind aswell?

I admit, once you get twards the mid-west in the united states, I get a little confused. Unless they have a specific shape, I cant memerize them easily, so many are just square.

And yes, we are obsessed with accents. We think we talk normal, and everyone else is just stupid.
