***news flash*** reporter makes idiots out the "person on the street".
It was amusing, in a scary way, though. Although I wonder what the sample population was, did they spend a week finding a handful of idiots or where they so thick you had to beat them off with a stupid stick?
I'm thinkin' stick...
I would like to have seen atleast ONE person say.. "wait a minute... that's Australia, mate"
but that doesn't make good tv, now, does it.
This was either a set-up or we really should be worried. It's not like they mis-labeled Vietnam or Thailand or another country in the "Far East," that perhaps a small portion of the population could have mistaken for Korea. Freakin' Australia for Pete's Sake!!! Yikes!
"We'll save Australia
Don't wanna hurt no kangaroo
We'll build an All American amusement park there
They got surfin', too
Boom goes London and boom Paree
More room for you and more room for me
And every city the whole world round
Will just be another American town
Oh, how peaceful it will be
We'll set everybody free
You'll wear a Japanese kimono
And there'll be Italian shoes for me
They all hate us anyhow
So let's drop the big one now
Let's drop the big one now"

Well, excepting that I also had no idea that North Korea was so much larger than South Korea.
I guess we should be worried.

My favorite:
[Husband]: "Mmmm... where are we, where are we... yeah! Ok..."
Definitely stick. Or fence post, perhaps.

Still, -honestly!

mmanuel Kant was a real pissant
Who was very rarely stable,
Heidegger, Heidegger was a boozy begger
Who could think you under the table,
David Hume could out-consume,
Wilhelm Freidrich Hegel.
And Wittgenstein was a beery swine
Who was just as schloshed as Schlegel.
There's nothing Nietzche couldn't teach ya
'Bout the raising of the wrist.
Socrates himself was permanently pissed.
John Stuart Mill, of his own free will
On half a pint of shandy was particularly ill.
Plato, they say could stick it away,
Half a crate of whiskey everyday.
Aristotle, Aristotle was a bugger for the bottle,
Hobbes was fond of his dram,
And René DesCartes was a drunken fart
"I drink, therefore I am."
Yes, Socrates himself is particularly missed,
A lovely little thinker but a bugger when he's pissed.
after all these years m. python is still relevant too
