hey you only compare apples with apples, do the same test on group of aussies and see if they are smarter or dumber than the yanks or the poms or anyone else.

I once saw on Aus TV a similar thing carried out in Sydney just before some sporting event between Aus and NZ. I was amazed how many Aussies when asked did not know the right colour of the stars on the Australian flag !! they were asked if the Stars were Red or White, not to hard really, but, as said how many interveiwed got it right,

your right ron, its a thankless job and they are the only ones with the resources to do it, its just a shame when they get it wrong they get it wrong big styley.like katrina etc.



( but some of them could do with getting out a bit more!!!)

Unfortunately for the USA, they pay a heavy price in casualties, financial burden, and world abuse. I hope that if we ever need their help, they are there for us.

Re the CNNN segment, selective editing can do a lot. Ask Quiggers.

Most of the questions were just plain commonsense, like, "where is the BERLIN wall", "what religion are BUDDHIST monks", crikey they were given the answers and still couldn't get it right and they questioned a fairly broad range of people. When it comes to general knowledge about the REST of the world, MOST (not all) Americans are woefully inept, Regards Frank.

Interviewer : "What state is KFC from?"
America : (Long pause) No idea
Interviewer : Do you know what KFC stans for?
American : Kentucky Fried Chicken
Interviewer : "So what state is KFC from?"
American : I don't know

There's one worrying trend in Australia too... and that is the fact there's a lot of this kind geographical of ignorance creeping in to our great land. I think if you asked the same questions in the centre of Sydney, Melbourne or Brisbane you would be amazed by the responses.

Did anyone notice the caption placed over Australia on the map he was asking them to pin things on to? I'm sure at one point it read South Korea!

Bloody seppos, they crack me up sometimes. I gurss we need someone to take the **** out of
