Street Smarts

Has anyone ever watched this show?

They ask random people on the street REALLY basic questions, and the contestants have to guess which street moron got it right.

Example: what are the two languages spoken in Canada?

They actually found someone who got this wrong. His guess? French and Spanish.

I wonder if it hurts to be that stupid.

Edit - here's another one. The question: In the classic novel, what does the scarlet letter stand for?

Answer from randon person on the street: "I saw that play, I know this. She was very deceitful, she was cheating on her husband, so the S stands for ****."

Have any of you heard Glenn Beck do his "Moron Trivia" game?
On Friday's, he picks an NFL game and calls 4 convenience stores in each city who'se team is playing in the chosen game, and asks them questions anyone should know the answer to. And if they get it wrong a lot of times he will say "The correct answer was..." and give some off the wall answer, and the clerks generally do not know the difference.
He asked this question once "What southeastern state is a peninsula?" (Florida)
"Uhhhh......Kansas?"
"Oh, I'm sorry. The correct answer was New York."
"Oh. Well, at least I was close."

In High school things like:

How do you confuse an American ?

Ans- Hand them a geography book.

Some British people believe that Canada is also known as America.
Not North America >>>Just America !
