Anyone seen this abomination called, 'Are you smarter then a fifth grader?'.
This is the saddest thing I have ever fucking seen.
Fuckin black chick named Ebony, olol, could not answer the following two questions right;
True or False;
America is in the Eastern Hemisphere.
She says it's true. The audience starts an ominous Ooooooh and her face falls and her eyes well up with tears, realizing her mistake. But what's this!? Her 11 yearold partner has the right answer, so she gets to move on! YAY! The sorrow and dispair are drained from her face as she jumps up and down, screaming with delight. Yes, you won 50,000, but at what cost? Now the nation knows you're stupid as shit. But do we sneer at this? Do we look down our noses? No, she got fucking Fiftey grand, lets fucking jump around like idiots.
The second question she got wrong? I suck ass at math, but this is fucking ridiculous;
y=3x and 3x=12, what does y equal?
Are ya shitting me ebony? 4? Did you really just fucking say that?! Really??! I mean, for tittyfucking sake ya dumb bitch, the answer is in the fucking question. Would ya look at what anyone who passed 4th grade can do without using math AT ALL could do?
y=3x 3x=12.... y=3x=12.... y must equal fucking 12?! Shouldn't it?! It didn't ask you to solve for fucking x you dumb bitch.
Goddamnit I fucking hate this country sometimes.

Then I go and TA for another English class, and am depressed by the level of stupidity and incompetence displayed by these kids.
One of these essays would give the Geek an aneurysm after he ran out of red ink and INNAPROPRIATE APOSTROPHE stickers.
Like the Dilbert cartoon said...
Bitter woman: "We will be a nation of janitors and maids!"
Dogbert: "But think of how clean it will be."
Because if she was on lost she'd be dead.
I just thought it was funny that her name was Ebony and she was black.
Had she been a white woman named Ivory I would have done the same thing.
Yeah I guess that's true. Part of what gets to me is that now everyone feels they can be more outspoken about it and they're not wrong.

Admittedly, if someone held a gun to my head and asked me to identify say...Morocco on a map, I would be fucked. But Japan? Really?
I hate these threads.
Is Crimson a name?
Well, duh. These aren't average Americans on this program. They either grab the dumbest people alive, or pay normal people extra money to act stupid.
I would act retarded on national television for one hundred thousand dollars.
No, not at all. It's actually these shows that piss me off. It's this attitude about money that makes being retarded as fuck okay. These people shouldn't be fucking winning 50,000 grand, they should be embarassed that they can't answer these questions.
Yet, we reward them, and we put them on television and we laugh because its a fun, shiny show.
Well fuck reality TV, it's fucking stupid and I'm tired of it. It's like that scene in matilda, where everyone is sitting around the tv watching some sticky dick slap money on his body like they're bee stings and when matilda tries to look away. When she tries to ignore it, the fat hands of a greasy, bald asshole grab her face and keep her fixated on the screen.
there's dumb canadians and dumb south africans and dumb japanese people
stupidity isn't a racial quality, it's inherent to humanity
Possible? Come on, I can fucking guarantee they screened for the show. This show says nothing meaningful about education in the U.S. You could do the same show in any country and pick from the most ignorant to make it seem like they're representative of the population. This is entertainment and some of you dumbshits are taking it seriously. What's even more offensive about this is how stupid some of the questions are. Technically the question about what hemisphere the U.S. is in doesn't make any sense. There's no east or west pole so what you consider the east or west hemisphere is entirely arbitrary. Good job dickmunchers.
The thing is though, that math question especially. They are trick questions.
They screen these people, they are looking for people that aren't stupid, but appear to crack under pressure.
Think about it, the girl has tens of thousands of people watching her, and she is concentrating all of her effort to not look like a complete idiot - but she does because FOX has set her up to fail.
The kids are actors. They ARE kids, but they are child actors that may or may not be given the answers ahead of time. So lets not think that FOX just picked these kids up out of every class USA.
Yeah the poor girl is dumb. But she is more a victim of stagefright and cracking under pressure. Which I am sure she was chosen because she had those qualities in the interviews and auditions.
For example, back in the day I had a chance to be on Win Ben Stein's Money. I was a freshman in college I applied and the prodcuers called me. They gave me an interview over the phone and wanted me to come down and try out in person. "I was from Ben's area and I seemed relaxed and funny, the things they look for on the show." is what he told me.
So I am SURE that FOX has gone in search of people that are jumpy and don't perform under pressure and probably fail at poorly worded, stupidly obvious questions.
Fortytwo's blog about fatherhood, life, and everything.
I know it's in North Africa, and was the fictional setting for the film Casablanca. That's it.
Like in the sense that Russia and China would.
I still remember most of them.
3DS: 5241-1953-7031
or 90 percent so
which I can agree with
