Curb Your Intelligence
 

The morning host on WBAL ( Baltimore) has a regular series where he does " man in the street" type of interviews. This is a sampling:http://www.wbal.com/shows/franklin/audio/story.asp?articleid=26719
These date form January, those who are more proficient in computer skills may be able to post a link for a more current sampling.

It shows that
a) people do not listen
or
b) people are stupid

The scary thing is that these people vote.

Although I believe the "global whining" question is definitely unfair.........and his delivery reinforces the potential for error..........the remaining questions reinforce my belief:

The average person is a moron.

LOL:D

Condolezza Rice??

Isn't that the new dish over at the local Chinese takeout place............???

Now, really, that's unfair. It's a very difficult question. You should ask them if they know who Dick Cheney might be??

You must be rounding up.

...whose limited brainpower is widely demonstrated when behind the wheel of a vehicle, from what I can tell... :(

.........OMFG..........don't even get me started..........

One of them was within 10 feet of the back of the van because I was going too slow (40 mph in a 40 zone) and then he rings the horn. I hit the brakes and he hits me. Damages the rear bumper. I never even bothered to stop. Old van and I just didn't want the BS. He passes me and gives me the salute.:o

Did y'all see that show a couple of weeks ago about the Dallas Cowboy cheerleader tryouts? As part of the "intellectual" (I use the term loosely) portion of the tryout a few of the girls were asked to discuss a current event. On girl could not come up with ANYTHING. They prompted her with "what have you seen on the news lately? On the front page of the paper?" Nothing. She just stood there like a deer in the headlights, and eventually said "Um, I can't think of anything." Unreal.

If you need to ask why I was watching said program you've missed the point. :grin:

More Curb Your Intelligence...look for link on page.

The hard truth is that the average person is .....average.
Similarly, the average IQ is..... 100 ( unless they have "renormed" the test.)

I think the average person would have to be a genius to make an I.Q. of 100.:D

I've never had my IQ tested; if it was done while I was akid, I never knew the results. As perverse as I am, it would be a source of pride no matter what it was...
If it were high, I'd think, " I'm quite a smart guy"
If it were low, I'd say, " I have accomplished a lot for such a dim wit!"
