these shows are somewhat humorous but they just play on people's self doubts most of the time... i could easily make a similar show asking random people about texans...

It's kind of like "Jaywalking" with Jay Leno.  You interview a bunch of people on the street.  The people that get the answers to the questions right end up on the editing room floor and the dumbest sounding people end up on your tv screen.

Sounds like a Michael Moore movie


Exactly my point!  It might be humerous but not representative of the facts or the people.

as i said, they play on peoples self doubts... if a reporter came up to you and in all seriousness said something that seemed true about something they were knowledgable in, wouldnt that plant the seed of doubt in your mind? you can often tell the people interviewed are a bit uncomfortable and unsure, so they agree to something that makes them look stupid...

*granted there are some that are just rediculous and id imagine they were done as a joke (ie the person being interviewed agreed to say it as a joke)... for instance the congreesman and canada igloo...

Once they got Bush to say our prime minister was Tim Hortons and he did have a clue what was wrong


As everyone on this forum knows, I am an extreme critic of Bush, but even I don't expect him to know something as trivial as who the prime minister of canada is.
