I watched the show "Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?" tonight and I have to say that some people's level of stupidity is actually shocking. The woman on this show was actually so dumb, I sort of feel guilty for laughing. A bigger person would take pity on her poor soul and receive her dimwittedness with a reserved silence. But since I'm not that big of a person, I'll continue on...
I guess the creators of this show really know the kind of people they're dealing with because they certainly don't overestimate their intelligence; the $75,000 question was "which neighbouring country shares the largest border with the United States?" She actually gave "Mexico" as her answer. Luckily, her 5th grade partner answered the correct "Canada," saving her from losing her cash. Another question she didn't know was "how many sides are on a trapezoid?" But I have to say that the kicker was that she actually resolved to take her money and LEAVE THE SHOW because she didn't know the answer to "how many decades are in two millennia?" She guessed 20.
Holy moly. I know there are a lot of uneducated people in the world, but that's pretty bad, considering she's a middle-aged woman from America, now working as some sort of computer-somethingorother-analyst. What's even sadder is that she must either be in dire need of some cash or has next to no concept of self-respect. Otherwise, she probably wouldn't be on that show since it's obvious that the whole point is profiting off of people's idiocy for the entertainment of people like me.
Anyway, that's it, I just had to blab.
