So it seems many americans love to talk about just about anything without knowing true facts. In the end they only make themselfs a laughing stalk. I'm sure these people would make our dearest Mrs. Crawdad cry. Not to worry though! There's at least one smart person and he's only like 5 or 6 years old, Clip 4 time index 3:32. WARNING: each video clip is 10 mins long except the last one which is only 5.




P.S. Tim Horton is like the canadian version of Dunkin Donuts, and a "double double" is just what we call the coffee.




P.S. Timbits are bite size doughnuts from Tim Hortons:

I love these clips. I feel ashamed of America though. :(

I think I"m moving to Canada.

I'm not ashamed to be an American. I am ashamed for those people. There are going to be uninformed morons anywhere.

Give me a camera, a video editor, and 3 hours and I can make a midnight mass school look like a Klan meeting.

I think Jay Leno has shown perfectly well that there are stupid Americans out there, so I don't think that's in dispute. Continually pointing out that Americans don't know much about Canada might be entertaining to Canadians (since the premise behind both shows is "idiots who don't know commonsense knowledge"), but I don't know that that makes them stupid!

It's sort of like the Mega64 people, whose comedic premise is bringing videogame characters into real life situations and laughing at people's uninformed reactions. It makes for a good laugh for the people on the inside (i.e. gamers), but it doesn't mean anyone that doesn't recognize a guy dressed as the merchant from Resident Evil 4 is an idiot.

If you haven't played RE5 enough to see that merchant dude, then you certainly are an idiot.

Just a heads up... having worked and currently work in tv/film, here's how this works:

Interview over 9000 people.

Find the stupid ones.

Edit the stupid ones together to make it look like everyone they interviewed is an idiot.

Display for the world to see and go "lol America is fucking retarded!"


Laugh at it. I did. Don't take it at face value as being the majority situation, however (unless you live in the southern states... then this is probably the majority situation).
