It's amazing, but this does not surprise me. Most adults cannot answer these questions.

I can see blanking on questions, or even missing super obvious "Country that starts with U" "United States" but when they're like "That bald guy, Bill Clinton!" as VP or "Canada, no wait that's a state nevermind" that's kinda scary.

I blame the parents...for the most part; most parents I know don't supplement their children’s curriculum at home. They leave it up to what goes on in the classroom and have no interest in helping these kids. I remember my parents being involved with my homework up through high school...even when I was learning subjects they knew nothing about.

Heheh, Uruguay and Uganda popped in my head. I didn't even think of the US until he said it.

I am now home and wish I wasn't to see that.

Mus: Why do you want to hurt Oonagh? Why?

Slight positive they ignored the rest of the student body.
Just the same handful of kids over and over.
Thankfully for the purpose of their video they wouldn't
put the kids that give the correct answers.

I didn't know the capital of Washington either. I thought it was Redmond.

This is what happens when you convince teenagers they should pay more attention to emo sparkly vampires than good wholesome entertainment like that provided by the Warner brothers (and the Warner sister).
