It's easy to pick a target and make fun of them, and in this case it's true - the average American is woefully undereducated about the rest of the world. But videos show that so is the average Briton. I've never seen a video asking the average Frenchman these questions. Perhaps their afraid of what they'll find. Or perhaps they exist, but don't get shown where I live.

So I agree, you're right about our education, but you're wrong to make fun of it or single us out unless you have videos showing the average Brazilian is that much better.
Ooops. I seem to have acidentaly steped on a landmine.

No Steve, the average brazilian sure isn't any better, possibly otherwise. But then again, that never was my point. Neither was making fun of anyone.
