Fools?

A couple weeks back I fell for an April Fool's day prank. Actually, the prank was on April 2nd, but it still worked and got me hook, line and sinker. I got a kick out of it, thanks Ryan.

Anyways, The Thinking Blog has a post of the Top Ten April Fools Pranks of 2007. Pretty funny stuff, you should check it out. If you do not have time to look at all of them, at least watch the #1 video.

Now, after you watch the #1 video, I would like know if you think it is a fair characterization of Americans and what they know of the world around them. Why or why not?

Also answer this: would a common person in other countries have a correct and ready answer for some of the same info about the different states here in America?
