The world should worry.

My mum recieved an email last night, with a video clip from some American news network. This guy was going about asking Americans what country they thought should be invaded next. Most of them said Iran or North Korea. One even said France (because they're not America's ally). Yet, when asked to put a flag on a world map of where these countries where, they all put the flags on Australia. One of the people who had suggested Korea, upon noticing Tasmania, said, sounding quite shocked "wow, i didn't think South Korea was that small!"

It makes you worry, doesn't it?

The fact you haven't noticed this video is a joke makes me worry.

Edit : if you look a few pages back, you'll find the (closed) topic with a link to this video

Well the channel itself is a joke channel, but what about the people interviewed or asked these questions, where they acting as well?

Huh, I would expect even the dumbest westerner to know where's Australia and where's Europe. I admit that knowing the location of say Iran might be too much for the brain washed masses, but Australia ?

One thing I saw on TV and that was pretty funny was the interview of random americans, back when the Euro was introduced. When asked "What's the currency used in the European Union", a group of 16-18 years old girls was like "huh...well...hum...the European Dollar ?"
