Happy Turkeyday Everyone.

Ahhah.
Def. can tell which are the anchor states most everyone knows -- Texas, Cali, and Florida.  tbh I'd have thought New York would would be in that list.  Poor MidWest.

To be fair though, I think (sadly) the majority of Americans would do about the same if not worse


Speaking of Brits...

's just hilarious
I skimmed for any sort of reason for a traffic cone, but never found one.  Guess someone did it once, people thought it was hilarious, and so kept doing it.


Majestic.

Happy TurkeyDay!

Is the joke that it's Americans trying to make fun of people not being able to label a map? Because in that case it's hilarious.

I felt stupid just watching that

That's gotta be staged.

Prolly real, they just used the responses they thought were the most hilarious and kept interviewing people till they had enough -- ie, if someone answered sanely they said "thanks!" and moved on.

There was a country song that's now, thank god, out of general rotation that had the chorus line:

"I'm just a singer of simple songs
I'm not a real political man
I watch CNN but I'm not sure I can tell
You the difference in Iraq and Iran
But I know Jesus and I talk to God
And I remember this from when I was young
Faith, hope and love are some good things He gave us
And the greatest is love"

Having pride in being ignorant, I always changed the station when it came on.
So yeah...  they had plenty to choose from
