Where do you think the US should invade next? Are geography lessons a waste of time? Is North Korea really bigger than South Korea? Where is Australia? Deep questions for you to ponder over.

Latest comment: "I believe our next invasion target should be Massachusetts. After all, they elected Ted Kennedy and Barney Frank. "

This is so stupid. They took the idiots and tried to make it seem that Americans are thick headed morons. However, most Americans would probably be able to solve this easily.

Superman Returns reveals the truth about Superman. You have to wonder about a guy who chooses to wear tights (not mentioning my ex-boyfriend).

Titanic Two - The Surface has everything the first installment didn't. A truly inspiring look into the complexities of life in 1912 and beyond. Jack has evolved in ways I never thought possible and enlightened me to the point that I now feel superior to anyone who has yet to see the glory that is Titanic Two - The Surface.

The best Star Wars clip on your site is Jedi car sale. It’s from a TV show but it is funny.

I agree with the people in the movie, America should invade Australia next. I mean... it's full of bloody Australians! And they might have nukes, and they might be terrorists, and they might have WMD, and they don't eat enough McDonalds, and they're a threat to world peace. Bastards, kill them all! (and then France).

Shining is dead clever. Quite apart from the editing, it's amazing what effect music can have on what you're looking at. Not easy to turn one of the most chilling films of the last few decades into a romcom!

50 years on from the making of The Ten Commandments in 1956 we get this great mashup. Cecil B. DeMille would've turned in his grave. Samuel L Jackson as Principal Firebush is inspired, and is that Donald Pleasance? (Sinead O'Connor credit).

Just shows you how thick the USA is. I reckon the rest of the world should invade them and teach those ignorant thick limited intelligent pricks a lesson.

ha ha ha, funny, really... even if in a video you can cut all scenes you don't want to show, so, the result has the sense you want!!! I mean, it shows 15 people (about), but how many people were interviewed? TV and the Internet have the capacity to transform the truth all over the world. Not less than 90% of people fail questions in geography or history lessons!!!

Thank goodness I don't live in Australia. Are all Americans geographic morons??? The American people are great but their knowledge of the rest of the world is very limited.

I'm so glad New Zealand refused to be bullied by USA over nuclear-free vessels in our harbours. If Americans are this dumb, would they know one button from another? PROUD KIWI.

This also applies to the snobbish yet insecure Americans, who seem to like proliferating their view that the whole concept of capitalism is solely an element of US patriotism, and that capitalism exists in no other civilized country, not even in those the USA imported it from. We, or at least I, live in a GLOBAL economy, not an American or European one, and if you want the best you have to cast your childish prejuces aside. I'm listening to Swedish music on a Dutch DVD-player, on a German computer, while drinking Scottish water out of an Italian bottle, but I'm able to type this because of my hard drive, made in Malaysia by an American company. Also, although this particular CD was purchased in Britain, I import most of my music, even though the vast majority of it is European, from the USA. On the other hand, many of my electronic gadgets (all my TV's, digital cameras, games consoles, VCR's, etc.) are Japanese. I don't see what's so great about LEVI though. They treat the British with contempt. I'm more thankful for the little guys in American business, who don't, than them. Anyway. I see I've gone off topic. I guess the video really speaks for itself. It's time the US implements some proper geography standards in their education system. Your current sets of school standards are usually so lengthy or unclear, it would be impossible to cover them all in the timespan suggested. They need some streamlining, and a lot of prioritising, but also students need to be assessed rigorously to ensure these standards are met. We in Britain have the very same problem, amongst many others. There are very few educational standards required to be met, even if we are to attend university.

All this video shows is something we've all known for some time: there are a lot of people in the US poorly schooled in current world affairs. However, the education system in the UK doesn't teach our kids properly either. There are kids with GCSE's who think Scotland lies across the Irish Sea. And to the American mocking the spelling of Europeans: English is a second, third or fourth language to most Europeans who post in it. The majority of Europeans are far better schooled in foreign languages than the typical American or Briton, who are generally rather useless at speaking anything other than their mother tongue.

I remember seeing this on TV here in Australia a few years ago and I lost it. So damn funny! How dumb can you be?!?! Honestly, thinking Australia was North Korea... these people must have been educated by a bloody monkey or something! Instead of watching oversized taxis racing in circles, uh sorry I meant NASCAR racing, perhaps these people should get out an atlas and figure out where North Korea actually is!

In reply to the proud american... if you're not in the war at the start you can't claim the victory (Al Murray, the pub landlord) Let's see what happens to your mighty country when thePpetroDollar turns into the PetroEuro and you go skint, that's the only reason you want to control the middle east... OIL.

After watching that, it has restored my faith in the education system in the U.K, What are they teaching them at there school?? No wonder they kill us with friendly fire when they can't even pinpoint a country... let alone allies.

How stupid are americans? Do they not know the world and the locations of the major countries that are of interest? This proves the point that americans don't know anything about an atlas or go to school!!

Big deal. Just like when I told my teacher in the first day of English class. I said, "Why do I have to take English in high school, I'm never going to England anyway".
