If this video clip doesn't make you cringe, then there is no hope.

I remember back in college, I was working on a group project with this one girl who was reasonably intelligent. THe project involved some basic knolwedge of world geography and this chic had absolutely no idea where China was on the globe. I mean no idea, couldn't even identify the correct continent where it is located. That really blew my mind at the time. I didn't think people with that level of education and intelligence could be so dim about something as important and relevant as to where major countries are located in the world. Not knowing where Sri Lanka is I can understand. Not knowing that North Korea isn't part of Australia is just plain dumb. There are highly placed students in colleges who don't have a freakin' club where their state capital is located, nevermind where another country is. And then, there seems to be a concentrated enclave of provincian thinkers in Long Island. A year after I moved away, my old boss complained that I never stopped in to visit. "Tommy....I'm in Rochester. This is the first time I've been back in a year". His response: "Bull**** excuse....isn't that right up by Yonkers?" People at my home office have no idea where Rochester is. These people deal with transportation all day long, and have enormous, detailed maps of the U.S. on the wall in almost every room. I thought Rochester was down by Wareham - towards Cape Cod. (just kidding - spend lots of time at the UofR) Eisboch I know where both Rochesters are. The New York one is where one locks the keys in the trunk of the rental car on Columbus day. Really bad move. |
