I mistrust that sort of thing for just that reason. It's too easy to edit interview footage to suit your argument, and people who go out to interview with an outcome already in mind are even more likely to do so. Admittedly, there are a lot of Americans who don't actually know anything about the world, but there are also a lot who do. Trying to make huge generalizations about any large group of people is a bad idea, and can end up making you look foolish. ('you' meaning the hypothetical person who makes sweeping generalizations, not anyone in the thread)
yep I agree, and also It's a very uncommon situation when some1 asks something with cameras runnin'. U have to think fast.. as "Is coffee a drink?" how silly question is that.
Yeah... if someone came up to me on the street, I'm not sure I'd instantly be able to come up with "Uganda" or "Uruguay" or whatever. Most of the time I'm barely coherent when asked a question I'm not expecting

Hah, yeah, that's true... while watching the video, I did think of Uruguay, but if someone would shove a microphone in my face, I'm not too sure... it's a bit like this trick you can pull on people (works best in real life): Point to something white and ask what colour it is, then immediately after they say 'white', ask what a cow drinks.
A million to one they'll say milk, because our brain works like this: white + cow = milk. Of course, a cow drinks water.
Oh, and the updated chart while I'm at it:

You just spoiled the joke! But yeah, you're right. You could change it to 'what does an adult cow drink', but I'm not sure if that would yield the same result. Or you could always go for the old carrot trick.
Buon giorno to the Italians and a heartfelt crikey, g'day, mate to our new Australian.

I live in San Mateo, California and I work in San Francisco so I could probably spit and hit Telltale if the wind was right. (And some strange atmospheric anomaly could carry spit across the golden gate bridge.) But who wants to be spit on, so instead I could probably get in my car and drive 20 minutes to their office and knock on the door, but they would be like, "who are you?" So maybe I will just post messages on their website instead.

omg..
maybe they have cencored all the smart ones
Oh, and the updated chart while I'm at it:
"how many sides are there in triangle?" I first thought of tetraed which has 4 sides
[pedant] Dairy calves usually get a milk replacer but beef calves nurse.
*pans self*
And there's another Italian user (nickname: Guybrush Threepwood).
Those are the worst!

Which means clean toilets on the entire route! I'd rather use a Walmart toilet than those filthy things at the gas station.

I shall bless this topic with my first post:

which roughly means the following in English:
I am of the Dutch persuasion
But tell them you're coming first.
Yep, give some time, so they can hide the corpses
