OUTRAGE! AMERICANS ARE STUPID


A study by National Geographic shows the following:

6 out of 10 Americans ages 18-24 CAN NOT FIND IRAQ on a map! (I wonder if the soldiers can even find it on a map. Heck, does Bush know? Seriously.)

5 out of 10 Americans CAN NOT FIND NEW YORK STATE. HOW CAN YOU NOT FIND NEW YORK? We are talking about NEW FUC*ING YORK. HOW CAN YOU CALL YOURSELF AN AMERICAN? (You shouldn't)

75% of young adults can't find Israel.

9 out of 10 can't find Afghanistan (And we can't find Osama...lol, go figure).

Fewer than 50% of Americans know where the state of Ohio is.

1/3 can't find Louisiana (Despite all the news, the "boot" folks, come on). 48% can't find Mississippi.

Fewer than 3 in 10 believe it is important to know the location of countries.

14% believe that speaking another language is a necessary skill. (I believe that nearly everyone at Columbia B-School speaks another language. Perhaps a reverse, 14% don't speak another language.)

47% could not find INDIA. HOW BIG IS INDIA?!? HOW CAN YOU NOT FIND INDIA?

You want an entertaining video? Go to CNN.COM and check out the "Video" section and click on Jeanne Moos' "Where in the world is...?"
You want even more proof? Check CNN.

If this doesn't get your blood running, I don't know what will.
