1. This was part II with this group

they were even worse last night. When shown a picture of FDR riding in a car, one of them guessed it was Thomas Jefferson.

4. People come up with stupid answers to get on TV.

I know a guy who was asked back a few times.

It takes brains to come up with stupid answers.

5. OMFG...

I simply can't believe what I just saw!!!!! :wow:

The next-to-last state added to the U.S. being "Canada" -- followed by discussion about Alaska being an island?

The Memorial to President Thomas...Edison?

The president during WWI being "Willfrid Woodruff?"

And I still can't figure out how someone can look at a painting of Custer's Last Stand and decide the main figure is "John Denver."

There were so many classics, I can't remember them all! :rofl:

6. Hey, I used to get Wilford Woodruff and Woodrow Wilson confused when I was a little kid, too.

Of course, that girl wasn't a little kid...

Edited to add: Wilford Woodruff was a president of the Mormon church, for those who don't know. The girl was probably a Mormon or former Mormon.

8. That's right...one of the two girls was from Utah...

...and I must admit I'd never heard of Woodruff until just now.

7. Best laugh I've had all day.

Some of their answers were obviously faked to appear stupid, but still. It was hilarious.

12. Oh, I think there are people that dumb, but they definitely edit/embellish.

Still, it's disturbing to know folks with this level of ignorance walk among us.
