Why 50% of Americans do not believe evolution (this belongs here)

[ThinkAnarchy]

I found this video very funny. But please be warned that a few brain cells might have to be sacrificed during the viewing of this video. It also goes to show how fake blondes give real blondes a bad reputation.

The video is of someone trying to determine how long it would take something to travel 80 miles at 80 mph.

It's not the first time I've seen the video you posted, but it hasn't become any less entertaining over time.

I like the guy that said Mississippi is in the Axis of Evil.  Hard to argue, if you've been to Mississippi.   

Please tell me that people that dumb exist everywhere.

I'm sure they do. You have this Australian kid as an example.

Granted that's a teenager, and not adults like in Crow's clip.

You also have this one involving the British as a response to the video Crow posted.

It's making the point stupid people are everywhere.

This boggles my mind.  Really? There are people who don't know how many sides a triangle has.  That kind of pisses me off.  My 8 year old cousin figured that one out years ago. Not all Americans are THAT damn stupid.  Some of those people didn't even sound like they were from the south. What in the hell is going on??

I found her voice annoying, so didn't watch it to the end. Did she get it right eventually?  ???

Sortov.  She didn't really believe that a car going 80mph would go 80 miles in an hour, but she atleast seemed to understand the words coming out of her husband's mouth by the end of it.

I have to say that clip actually annoyed me more at him than at her.  Like "Hey buddy, you married her.  Now who's the dumbass?"

Maybe he did it for great sex? As good a reason as any, I think.

Yes, this. Making a video to make clear what a dimwit you think your wife is? Totally pathetic. Either don't marry her if you think she's such an idiot. Or, if you choose to marry her because you really love her despite her cluelessness, don't make a video mocking her. What an ass.

Disregarding how the video was made, OMG, the "reasoning" was painful to watch.

[xSilverPhinx]

I'm not even sure if she didn't act that stupid on purpose. ???

[Hector Valdez]

Well. There's the precise reason the chinese are better than us. After all, they have a billion people, so fifty percent of that means more dumb people, right? Wrong, intelligence is on a bell curve. So at most, 25%. That means theirs...three quarters of a billion people that are smarter than us! We'd better get started on an interbreeding program right away. Spread that good stuff around.

Sadly, this is what happens when you've had it as good as we have in the US. We're an ocean away, the previous generations built this country into the richest in the world, and now a certain segment of this generation sits on its fat asses and thinks they're so great because they got lucky enough to be born here, so they don't bother trying to improve themselves. To be fair, not everyone in the US is this dumb; we still have a lot of smart people, so I'm sure there was some cherry-picking there. Unfortunately, enough are that they vote for Rick Santorum.
Eddie Vedder of Pearl Jam had a great line about George W. Bush that I think applies here: "Born on third, thinks he hit a triple".
