You have a point — it still is pretty dumb to not notice that Australia is mis-labeled as Iraq!. Australia is one of the most recognizable items on a world map. And what they _say_ is stupid — invade Italy? What the heck? Italy was in the coalition until just a couple months ago.

As for Dan Quayle — I have to say, I just can’t fault the guy because I can so pictures myself making that same mistake. Even though I know the correct spelling of “potato” I would second guess myself for a second if the card in front of me said “potatoe” — and that’s all it took to make that mistake.

If you’re brain don’t work right, I guess you have to believe what’s on the paper held by the important looking person.

Life is hard for the average Americans.

What a cheap shot!

It reminds me of Dan Quayle’s mis-spelling “Potatoe” Even though I was no fan of Quayle, I never faulted him when I heard is was misprinted on his card. I would have deferred to the card too.

Here is one screen grab from the middle, you can’t exactly make it out but it definitely isn’t “Australia” — It’s either Iran or Iraq I think.

Now look at this screen grab from nearer to the end:

That is two words — you can’t make them out but I’m guessing Saudi Arabia.

This is clearly a “hit piece.”

It’s a funny video but I think we all understand that most Americans aren’t quite that dumb about the world — but the “stupid American” is the predominant stereotype around the world.

It used to be, more, “friendly but stupid” but the Bush administration has widely shifted that to “thuggish but stupid.”

As others have argued here, stereotypes have their basis in reality.

Did anyone really look close on the video? The people have the countries labeled wrong also, Australia is really labeled North Korea I believe. Why does the Australia in the video go onto two lines after only a few letters? I wish there was a better quality so I could look at it.

Not all of us college students are useless sheep. Some care about the world around them and international relations and how some people in power are leaving the new generation a giant pile of shit and hatred to clean up after.
