I get the joke... but i dont think it's Americans in general. i think most people are just gullible. and thats it.

sticking a camera and microphone in someones face instantly cuts most IQs in half.

with a little effort you can usually convince most folks of anything.

like the petition that gained thousands of signatures to ban "h2o" because it kills people every year (by drowning).

or the petition circulated at the woman's university to "end woman's suffrage"... which despite being a petition to take away their voting rights... was wildly supported.




nothing is more dangerous than a little knowledge.


EDIT:

one other thing... its kind of like "Jay walking" with Jay Leno; if he showed all the people that got his answers right, it wouldnt be nearly as entertaining. I always wondered how many people got edited out of shows like this because they didnt fall for the tricks and gimmicks and actually either called BS or got the answer correct
