humor II

Do we really need a forum for that? Salty, Peter Borger, Syamasu, that lunatic with the perpetual motion thingy, you... It looks like we used to have a bunch of them around for giggles in the main forums. At least until Percy lost his sense of humor.

It was pretty amusing. My #1 daughter said Uruguay, and I immediately thought of Ukraine. However, I always wonder when I see these kinds of jokes - especially videos - how many people got some or all of the questions right but (since the authors were trying to make a point) didn't make it on film.I wonder how many average-moron-on-the-street Europeans could get those right as well? Or wrong if we're careful on the editing? I'll bet any amount of money you'd care to name that I could go to a working-class district in Cleremont-Ferrand, France, or Newcastle (or Middle Thumbswitch-on-Tiddles or the equivalent) in the UK, or Sidney, for that matter, and find enough ignorant morons to fill an identical video.Of course, a lot of the respondants in that video had southern accents. The author may actually have something there...

Outside of the obvious (US/UK/AU), there are a couple of East/Central European countries (Poland and Ukraine) who at least actually put in an appearance, and a whole pile of pissant little third world countries which haven't done anything but are trying to suck up to the US.Coalition of the Willing is actually something of a joke in-and-of itself.

Heh. It's the famous "alliance" that Bush claimed proved the US had multi-lateral backing for the invasion of Iraq.
