I love trivia quizzes, so of course I was excited when the new show, "Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader" began being produced. I haven't gotten to see it yet, but I have it recorded on DVR, so don't tell me who our first president was or any such knowledge that I may need. I'm looking forward to a fun time. In the meantime, I saw this hilarious video on YouTube that combines the joy of a trivia contest with the pleasure of laughing at stupid people. Using man-on-the-street interviews, the reporter begins by asking Americans to name a country that starts with "U." Check it out. It would be interesting, or scary, if the reporter would just ask these folks if they vote.

Are we getting dumber?

Wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI've heard there's an online teen group called "I scored better on the SAT than President Bush."
It's a large group.
I've finally done my web critique, and apologies to this week's summarizer for making it so last minute.
